Trying to Get Pregnant

What is a normal/low BBT?

Hello all,

I have just started temping this cycle.  I already knew I had a lower than average body temperature (I'm usually at 97.6-97.8 F when healthy and active in the daytime).  So far (CD 11), I appear to be consistently in the 97.07 - 97.25 F range in the morning.  Is this in the range of normal/healthy?  

As a side note, I usually feel warm.  I battle with my husband to keep the house at 65 F (he wants it at 70 and we compromise at 68 when we're both home during the day). 

Given my low temperature, how big a jump should I expect to see to chart ovulation?

Re: What is a normal/low BBT?

  • I also just started temping this cycle.  So far, my lowest temp has been 96.5, so I think you are safe.  However, everyone is different.  I would also keep track of your CM, this should help in figuring out if and when you O'ed too.  Best of Luck!

  • Those are higher than my pre-O temps!  My temps are typically around the mid 96's pre-O.  

    HTH!

  • My normal, regular temperatue is around 97.2-97.5, my BBT temps range from 96 ish- 98, so I think we're both fine Smile

    From what I've read, O typically is registered when you have a temp rise of 0.4+ and stays up for 3 days.  I'm still learning so don't quote me, good luck!

  • I am assuming you are taking your temperature orally. I think those temps sound like they would be in the normal range. In TCOYF the chart goes down to 97, so I would assume some people would need in that low. I had temps that low when I was taking my temperature orally as well. A .2 degree jump  with 3 days above your coverline is what TCOYF calls a confirmed temperature shift.

    I am much colder than you.  You can check out my chart for last month's cycle to see how high mine went after O.  This months chart is a mess so it will not help you.  I think that FF also has charts that you can compare to your chart.  That might help.
