Hey everyone! This is my first month tracking BBT. I’ve had irregular cycles since coming off the pill in late July (31, 45, and 38 day cycles with 7 day periods each). WTF is up with my BBT chart? 😳

Is it normal to have weird high spikes in the beginning of the month? Regardless, does it look like I could’ve ovulated on CD 24? That is somewhat in line with my positive OPK test on CD 22.

Any other insights into this strange chart? I have no reason to think there’s a problem with my thermometer, it’s brand new, although sometimes I’ll take my temp twice and there is a pretty significant difference. I.e., today my first temp was 99.5, which I thought was strange because the thermometer beeped after like 30 secs when it normally takes 5-7 mins, so I took it a second time and it was 98. I’m a pretty erratic sleeper, and definitely a mouth breather while I sleep haha (but I’d really rather not temp vaginally).

I’m worried I’m not ovulating, but also, finding BBT charting very exhausting and confusing already. Any words of wisdom or insights into this chart would be greatly appreciated!

Hope everyone has happy holidays and a wonderful new year. 💖
