Does a drop in BBT neccesarily mean I will miscarry?

Baby&MeMakes3

Hello, I am 7 weeks pregnant and I chart my temperatures every morning. Today I notice a significant drop in my BBT. Since ovulation it has ranged from 98.0-98.4, but today it was only 97.7 (which is right on the coverline for me). I woke up at 5:30am to use the restroom and then laid in bed for a half hour not able to fall back asleep (so I took my temperature at 6am, when I usually take it). I know you are supposed to take it before getting up and doing anything - but I guess I wasn't really that worried about it because I was taking it more out of habit, not even worrying that it may predict a miscarriage. Has anyone else experienced a drop in temperature like this and did not miscarriage? I am hoping it is just because I got up and then laid awake for a half hour before taking it. I am trying not to worry about it because I know that stress is not good, but I can't help but be nervous. So far I have no cramping or bleeding, but I have noticed that I haven't been as nauseous that last few days...

This is why you should stop charting after BFP. There's no point to it. Everyone I've known who has charted after, temps have been all over the place.

You're not supposed to temp when you're pregnant or you will drive yourself crazy. STOP IT.

You're STILL charting at 7 weeks?

Stop.  Now.  You will drive yourself crazy.

And, no, it does not mean you will miscarry.

STOP TEMPING!!! Your hormones (and therefor temps) are going to fluctuate a lot during pregnancy. There is no need to temp after a BFP.

step away from the thermometer, you got your BFP.  ditto PP about temps all over the place.  You're 7 weeks, are you planning on charting your entire pregnancy?

It means you should stop temping.

Stop charting!!! Your temps will be going crazy.  It doesn't mean you will m/c.  The only way you will know if you m/c is if a Dr tells you so.  Just relax!

Thanks everyone for your quick replies. I wasn't sure if I should keep charting my BBT, but it sounds like all it is going to do is worry me so I will stop.

Hide the BBT if you must. DH had to do this for me. Your temps will be random after a BFP. No reason to keep temping.

No - that means nothing, and don't google it!  I actually did the same thing right after I got my BFP (my temp dropped by almost a degree and I panicked).  Put the thermometer away - your temp means nothing.

why are you still charting?
