I guess it is time..

in Trying to Get Pregnant

After 6 months of TTC without charting... I am finally giving in. DH was hesitant about it for a while, but after talking we decided (mostly I did) that I really want to know when (and especially IF) I am ovulating.

So, I went to Target and bought a BBT!! I just took my temp right now to see how it works and my body temp is 96.5. Is that normal?

DH says most people's is 98 something... then he said (jokingly) that maybe it is because I am a cold hearted b*tch. Embarrassed LOL! What a turd.

 Anyway, I will totally be asking dumb, newbie questions about charting now. Back to square one I guess.. Smile

    Welcome to charting--good luck to you guys!  Taking charge of your fertility-is an awsome book which will help make sense of what your body does.  Also Fertility Friend is where most people chart on here--it looked overwhelming at first to me (i'm new to charting also) but it's really easy and has great info on the site.. Good luck and lots of BD to you!

    Thanks! It has been a while since I watched the videos of how to chart on FF, so I guess I need to re-watch them and learn what the heck I'm doing.

    Good luck this cycle! Charting will give you a whole new insight to how your body works. Smile But look out, it's very addicting! lol

    ETA: just realized what you meant!

    Good luck charting, and for the record the "average" body temp is 98.6, but there are many things that can make this go up and down. Your temp will likely be lower than this when you are taking your temp upon waking to chart.

    Welcome.. Charting is the most amazing thing to watch.. It helps me not stress so much. And the thought of not knowing if a i ovulated or not was driving me crazy also.. You can check out my chart, I also have low temps.. But i do have Thyroiditis.. Gl Sweetie Smile

    I've only tempt for a few days before O and I've ranged from 96.4 to 96.8.

    GL!  And welcome to the club. lol  I have been charting for two years, I've found that my resting temp is the 96 range, and goes up to 97.something after ovulation.  On a few occasions, up to 98.something and that only gets my hopes up. lol  No luck for me yet, obviously. Embarrassed
