I got all excited b/c my temperature was 98.1 in the a.m. (it's never that high...usually it's about 97.0) but I had spent the entire day before on the beach, laying in the blazing sun.
Would that give me the artificial spike? Or did I actually ovulate like a normal human being??
Re: Would a day at the beach mess up your BBT?
was there alcohol involved? that will cause a spike.
Did you get a bad burn? The stress of that on your body, could also cause a spike (less likely, though).
Really, the only way to tell is to wait the three days and see if it remains elevated.

BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12
No alcohol, and I didn't get burned. Maybe a little bit pink. My temp the following day was 97.5, down from the 98.1. But I spent just as much time in the sun prior as I did the first time.
We'll see!
