BBT chart help! Trying to conceive

Hello! I'm so confused by my chart this month and desperately trying not to get my hopes up but I've never had Ts go this high and erratic after o - any thoughts?? Also I usually spot a good few days before af and so far nothing, plus have had lots of watery cm with white bits (sorry TMI) since I but am usually dry at this point in my cycle. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!!

How do you temp?
Are you unwell at all? 38 degrees is a fever.

How many DPO are you? I can’t tell from your chart as I used fertility friend and their charts look different.

I had unusual an chart the month before I fell pregnant with my daughter and was sure it was the month and then AF arrived, the month I actually got pregnant I was sure I was out because my chart just looked normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for your reply! I have a digital ear thermometer. I actually always run quite high after o and it's not unusual for me to drift into a fever 37.8ish. I actually saw a doctor about it at one point as was worried about it but seems like it's just me! 38 is unusual though but no I don't feel unwell at all.

I'm not sure re dpo as I don't use opk only temp and observe cm, I think c.cd 15-18 which would make me 10-13dpo

Yes I know you're right, it's always the months AF comes that we convince ourselves otherwise! Every month I think never again, but here we are! 🙈😂

If you’re 10-13DPO try a test, when is AF due?

Maddy170 · 26/05/2023 12:19

Due tomorrow. Don't want to see a bfn so trying to hold off but I will probably cave when I get home (have some ICs!). Aside from the T the main thing getting my hopes up is a lot of cramping for over a week now and no spotting...

I fell pregnant in my last cycle, currently 5w1d and my chart was the craziest it has ever been!!

Maddy170 · 26/05/2023 12:32

Congratulations!! How are you feeling? Any sickness yet? And thanks, maybe it's a good sign then! X

I never did BBT so don’t really know but I thought an oral thermometer should be used rather than an ear one?

the cycle I got pregnant (and it stuck) I didn’t have any of my pre AF spotting so fingers crossed it means the same thing for you 😊

Maddy170 · 26/05/2023 12:58

Yes you're quite right, but it's the one we have so just started using that. I've got very textbook patterns every cycle so far so seems to be doing ok, and I guess any error is consistent so the shape would still be the same even if the Ts themselves might be different...?

Ah yay thanks for sharing! 🤞🤞

Just to rounds off the story- got a faint bfp yesterday evening, but then my period came this morning (one day late). My temp is dropping and bfns now, so I guess very early chemical
