BBT - is this normal?

[JoCM]

I’ve been doing bbt the last 4 months and noticed it will drop before my period is coming but then it is high when I’m on my period. Is this normal?

@JoCM Hey OP! Temps tend to drop before period I find mine drops below baseline and stays there till it starts creeping back up before ovulation. Then it tends to have a dip on ovulation and 3 days of rising confirms you’ve ovulated.

@Mama09876 Thanks, mine seem to dip, then go up again for my period, down again, and then back up when I've ovulated. I'm unsure if the fact they're high during my period is a problem or not...

When you say high do you means high above the baseline?

@Mama09876 yes above the cover line. Not as high as my post o temps but still high

Hi OP, my temps always stay high till about CD 2/3 then it will slowly start to drop down. Annoying as I don’t get the usually drop beforehand to indicate AF is on its way!

@Henski thank you that’s helpful to know - though that is annoying. I can’t figure out if BBT is helpful or just more stressful 😔
