Very small temp rise?

KAshley82 · April 2011

Ok.. for the past four days, my temp's have only been rising by about .02 degrees each day.. is this still considered a significant enough temp rise to show O? I am still new at this, but I am thinking I may have O'd CD 15, even though I got two more positive OPK's after a positive and two negatives on the 3 days prior. What do you think? I felt like I O'd yesterday (CD 18) because of cramps and such, but my chart doesn't really show that.

Sorry to post 98240934 posts about my chart.. but I am a control freak and I just HAVE to know what's going on! You gals rock Stick out tongue

I know I've read about this on FF but I can't remember what the "qualifications" were for this type of slow increase. Have you looked around on FF for slow rising O temps and tried a coverlay on your chart? I think it looks very possible that you did O on CD 15, especially based on your +OPK and watery CM, but it's also possible- as I'm sure you know- that you may not have Od yet. GL, hope you figure it out soon!

From reading TCOYF 'typically' you should see a 0.2 change in your temp to indicate O and shift from the Follicular to Luteal phase of your cycle. TCOYF does also indicate everyone is different and the shift may not be as noticable for everyone, with a shift of 0.2 or more...so it could take a few cycle to recognize when you actually O if you don't have a large swing in your BBT.

The best way to know is to cross-check your BBT with your CM and Cervical position (you seem to already be doing that). Based on your chart it looks like you should O today or tomorrow.

I'd say that you have not O'd yet. Those temps are still below the previous ones (except the one directly before them). But it looks like your body is gearing up a second time, so fingers crossed that you O today or tomorrow!

I actually got a positive on CD 14, negative on CD 15 and 16, and positives on CD 17 and 18.. NO idea why! I have been testing twice a day.

Does TCOYF say a 0.2 change, or 0.02? Just wanted to make sure you typed it correctly so I can figure out if it applies to me. Thanks for the info

As far as CM... UGH! Haha I just hate it. I barely ever see ANY, and if I do, it's not ewcm. And as for cervical position.. I've tried it, but I have no idea what I'm feeling for around in there.. haha

Definitely too small of a rise to indicate O. A slow rise is .1 degree at a time and a typical rise is at least .2 over the past six temps.

TCOYF says 0.2, even though most BBT thermometers measure out to hundreths... I don't think that was the answer you wanted... You see really close though with the slow rise, if you O today or tomorrow, your baseline BBT could be around 97.3 or 97.4. If your temp hits 97.5 or higher tomorrow morning, I would think you O'ed today.

Hmm okay.. thanks so much for the info!! I just wish I could have a 'normal' chart for once.. those charts in TCOYF look SO different than mine, so it's hard to know how to read mine... oh well, a girl can dream...

I think I finally figured out CP!!!!! So, with my temp dip yesterday, I was concerned I didn't O yet, so, I decided to give it the old 2 finger try and feel around to see if it felt like it did back in the time just before, during, and directly after CD 16, which is when I truly feel I O'ed. When I felt around when I think I did O, it felt like there was a little hole on my cervix, if I really wanted to, I may have been able to put my pinky finger in, but when I felt yesterday and today, I felt where the hole was, but now it was obviously closed and felt like the tip of a nose as people and FF have described.

I think thats way too low to signal ovulation. Give it a few days and see what it does
