BBT chart

[Cantmakeadecision40]

I don’t understand my bbt chart at all, it’s saying I’ve ovulated but since my temperatures have been going down, I thought they only did that just before a period. I’m not sure if I’ve ovulated. I really have no idea what’s going on. My sleep isn’t good, we often have air con on, I’ve been incredibly stressed. Im sure this all impacts but it just doesn’t make any sense. Any ideas?

I’ve not used this app before but chart my bbt. I might be wrong but doesn’t it say you ovulated CD 17? Temperature rose just after it confirming ovulation? Temperature is now decreasing possibly because your period is due?

Yes I think that it says I ovulated on day 17. I just didn’t think that my temperature would drop so early on, I thought it normally only dropped a couple of days before your period is due.

It is nit a dull circle so assume it will go back a little before it dips for your period. All those things listed will create anomalies on the chart. Thats why they say to try keep variables consistent and if poor quality of sleep then to skip charting that day.

Thanks, it’s really hard to keep those variables consistent. None of my nights sleep has been good for months. Todays temp has now shot up to 36.81 - makes even less sense 🤦‍♀️

Don't forget that sleeping with your mouth open (i mean that won't affect things if you're temping vaginally or rectally though) can strongly influence temp, and if you've got air con on or know you snore that could be influencing it!

That is actually a good sign. Some people have slow rise and fall patterns. And around 6-10DPO you will see a Beauty spot it can occur with pregnant and non pregnant 15-20% of charts have it. BUT can be a sign of implantation.
So it going up is Normal either way.
Keep tracking the best you can.

I use Fertility Friend and it is so educational. I also follow a few Youtbe channels on charting.

My temp drops again on the day of ovulation and then rises again. It's about the same temp drop as just before my period, but shoots straight back up just after.

Your chart to me looks like a normal cycle, with the last temp drop heading towards your period
