Question

Why is my temp gradually getting lower and lower. Is this normal? Just to clarify- I do aim to take my temp every single morning at the same time (6:30am)  however if I realize my body has woken itself up at 5am and I won’t possibly get another “3-4 hours in” then I will just take my temp at 5 am since it will be the most accurate reading for bbt.

Answer

You gotta pick the same time daily for your chart to tell you anything! I set an alarm for 4:30 since it’s the earliest i wake up naturally ( to pee lol)

Answer

Your temp is lower in the middle of the night/when it is darkest/when you are in deepest sleep. That’s why timing is meant to be same time every day, you’ll be in a similar state of wakefulness when the temp is taken. So the lower results could be from that earlier time. I also find that in the semi-fertile days before ovulation I often have that decrease. Might be a combination of both for you.
