Help! REALLY low bbt?

princessbella323

Hi everyone! So I have been charting for the past couple of months. I usually wake up about 4:30 everyday to do it, roll over half asleep and then chart. The past week I noticed a rise in my temp...from 35.4 to 35.8. I was excited until I got to thinking about it and realized that 35.8 is still REALLY low. So of course I feel like ovulation was out of the question because how can my temp be that low and still be okay? Everytime I go to the doctor, my temp is normal and they have never said gee your temp is too low, so I am wondering if it is just in the morning that it's low? I have heard something about hyperthyroidism being the cause of low temps, but I had everyting checked recently, and doctor said everything was normal.  (I don't have the official results). UGH.

My doctor diagnosed me with PCOS but I had bloodwork done recently for fatigue. She checked thyroid. I have been diagnosed with PCOS for 4 years, was on birth control for those 4 and just got off in July to ttc and my periods almost disappeared completely. 

I am not seeing an RE right now; I am only seeing my regular doctor for a year and if nothing comes of it I will go to an RE. She claims to have experience with PCOS and from my understanding she is doing everything that a normal RE is doing to try to get me pregnant, only it's cheaper and I've known her since I was little so I trust her. We have been trying since July of 2013 but of course I want it to happen as soon as possible. The pcos has been depressing me a bit though because although it is not a fertility death sentence it's still a struggle when it seems like everyone else is regular...

Thanks for your input. No need to be rude about wanting it to happen as soon as possible...I understand that.

I have low temps too pre o and no thyroid problems. My pre o and post o temps are well over a degree difference.

I agree that you should look at TTGP, I learned a lot about charting from the ladies there. There is also a check in that you can ask questions everyday. It's helpful when learning about charting and just getting started coming off bc.

Yeah thats why I don't like this website that much. I know I can get advice but I always get someone who has to make a little snide comment no matter what I say. I don't expect people to "sugar coat" anything...I was merely making a statement about wanting kids as soon as possible...it was your choice to comment on it. Not sure why everyone feels like self-entitled dicks on this site but it's annoying as hell.
