Tylenol and temp questions...

So sorry if this is a stupid question... I tried looking on FF and didn't find the answer. I also stayed away from google because we all know the crazy things that can be found.

Does taking tylenol a few hours before temping affect your BBT? I guess I was thinking along the lines as Tylenol is used as a fever reducer so maybe it affects your temps even when you don't have a fever? I took tylenol at around 1:30 AM and took my temp at 5:30. My temp was exactly the same as yesterdays at the same time so I don't think it's an issue, but I was more curious than anything.

I'm new to this whole charting thing and I want to make sure that I am doing it right. I have a slight feeling that I haven't been O'ing the past few months so I don't want anything messing up my chart too much!

Interesting concept! Seems logical to me especially b/c you were in the dosing window. I took tylenol the past 2 days and my temp was lower today... you just gave me a glimmer of hope aka an excuse not to count myself out yet.
