BBT help??

Question

My bbt is all over the place, I can't find any sort of pattern or anything and have been charting for about 5 months. Does anyone else have this same problem? What dows it mean? Is there anything I can do to help?

Answer

You will get better results if your thermometer has at least two decimal places. The more specific your temp is the more of a pattern you will see. Sometimes my drop is a couple hundredths which can show a change in your cycle. If there truly isn't a dip and then a temp increase that stays you may not be ovulating.

Answer

Melissa, i didn't think of that! I'll try a new one!! And i have an apt next week! :) thanks!

Answer

Kayla have you only used one thermometer? Is it digital? Does it have at least one decimal place? My first thought would be to try a different thermometer, if you haven't already! Then if it still happens with another, I'd schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss it.

Answer

Haha i understand monica! I can't tell if i am ovulating, not ovulating, in my luteal phase, not in my luteal phase, i can't tell ANYTHING from my temps?!

I can't tell if there's something wrong with me? Or what?

Answer

I'm glad you asked this Kayla. I'm not any help though because I don't track mine but if I get a neg pg test and AF shows then I'll be doing it this. I tried it a few months back before we were TTC just to see what it's like but I found no real pattern either. Plus my thermometer is weird and it beeps before it's done reading and I just have to guess when it's past 5 minutes and then read it. And at 5 am I'm not too into all that lol

Answer

Thanks Jessica, thats what i have been doing but it still doesn't have any kind of pattern?

I have an apt with my doctor next week And i hope that they can tell me whats going on?

I feel like i have been trying everything!

Answer

I got mine to be much more consistent by setting a 5 am alarm and putting the thermometer by my bed.  When the alarm goes off I pop it in my mouth take the temp then go back to bed :)

Make sure you take it after a 4 hour block of sleep, same time every day, before you get out of bed.  Hope that helps!
