Charting Newbie

victoria+james

Thanks to you lovely ladies I've finally decided to start charting. Yesterday was my first day and my temp was 97.1 today 97.0

I thought people were supposed to be 98.6? Or at least close...

Is my thermometer broken or am I some sort of reptile? Maybe I'll ask for a sunning rock for Christmas.

For me my pre o temps are very rarely over 98. You can look at my charts if you want.

98.6 is supposed to be your normal temp, but my when I temp with my BBT after 4 hours of sleep it has never been that high.  I am not sure if the BBT thermometer is different from a normal thermometer or if it's because you are taking your "resting" temp.  I have often wondered this myself   Before O, my temps are normally 96 something and after O they are 97 something.

Mine either.  And my after O temps are barely over 98.  Chart in my siggy (but it's ugly.)

I will look at both when I get home... Mobile Bumping...

Your BBT will be lower than your waking temps.  Mine are usually less than 97.2 before O .
