Is it me....

Or my cheap Walmart BBT?  It's me, isn't it?

Okay, I may have turned a little obsessive (this is why I resisted temping for so long in case you are wondering).... I temped 30 minutes early this morning and my temp was basically flat from yesterday (and no where near showing a thermal shift as I think it should) - hmm.  I got up, walked 18 feet into the bathroom and temped with a regular thermometer.  It read only to one decimal of course, but it was .5 degree higher than the BBT.  So I peed and went back to bed and took my temp with the BBT again.  It was higher than the first temp, but not as high as the regular thermometer (it went up .15 from the first temp).  So I used the second BBT temp (split the difference basically), but I feel like something is off here.  It could be me....or it could be the fact that the BBT is from Walmart (I have a strong theory about their products being somehow defective which is how they are so cheap).  :-w

Anyone want to chart stalk and render an opinion?

@Amybunny30‌ that is possible, but that in and of itself it concerning given my 26-27 day cycle as of late.

@Greeneyes842‌ it is the relion. I really have to stop buying Walmart items....

I feel like mine has just given up going over a certain temp. I will have to get a new one next cycle. I've completely given up on this cycle.

Maybe CD16 or CD17? But I can't be sure either. I use the Relion from wal-mart. I haven't had any trouble with mine but it can't hurt to try a new one. Sorry you're having trouble!

@meredithcarole sorry for the late post, but I'm chart stalking. It looks like you got your crosshairs! FF shows ovulation on CD 17 not too far off from the postive OPK's. Looks like you had descent timing. FX for you!!!

Walmart.....don't get me started
