Hi all 😊
I charted my BBT last month orally (pregnant but ended in chemical) and this month I decided to chart vaginally (I'd read it can be more accurate as I'm a bit of a mouth breather at night 😅)
My temps have been pretty stable and everything seems to be as should be. (I'd honestly ignore the one on Thursday as I woke up sooo many times in the early hours of the morning and it was really hot in the room so I think that threw it).
I got my peak ovulation test on Friday and had a slight dip in temperature yesterday (happened last month before ovulation) and then a slight rise today.
I know I'm probably only 1dpo and it can't be confirmed until you have at least 3 higher than coverline readings, however, I guess my main question is... Anyone who has charted vaginally, is there usually a drastic change in temperature after ovulation? I'm aware vaginal readings are much higher to begin with anyway! I did also take my temperature orally this morning and it was around where it was last month after ovulation (I know I can't use that as I haven't temped orally all cycle - was just curious!)
Also, probably stupid question, but, does dtd the night before and not going to the loo yet (if you get what I mean) affect your temperature at all? I'm guessing not, but new to this! 😅
Thank you so much to anyone who has any insight on vaginal temping!! 😊x

@LG93 Thanks! I have a chart from last month when I was pregnant but ended in a chemical, with a clear temperature rise (very obvious) but I was temping orally. I just don't know if it's different temping vaginally? My temps were 36.72/36.73 every day for a whole week and then dropped to 36.6 (day after my peak opk) and then rose to 36.9 this morning... They're such tiny and minor shifts. But maybe that's normal when not temping orally? Perhaps I should have stuck to temping orally...

@Emmamoo89 Lucky you! That's great. I fell pregnant last month in our second month of trying but it didn't stick so this is our third month.
Do you know if your temperatures rose much after ovulation? Were they high to begin with anyway?

@Emmamoo89 Do you know anything about temping vaginally?

Not sure but do you use a normal bbt thermometer or a special one?
