basal body temps

[amandar]

I have been charting my temps for 2 months now. Last month my chart showed no ovulation. This month it showed ovulation but my temp dropped the other day and it is now saying they can not detect ovulation. I was wondering since we sleep right under the window ac unit, could the cold air make my temp drop to where it wouldn't be correct on the chart?

From the looks of my chart I probably didn't o again this month. Even though my af hasn't arrived (or if it even will with out meds) is it safe to stop taking the temps now or should I continue until I go back to the dr?  Which could be up to two weeks from now.

I live in FL and keep it really cool and run the ceiling fans, too. It hasn't changed my temps so far. Did you take clomid this cycle? Or just the 2 before?

[amandar]

Yes I was taking clomid this cycle. 100mg. The strange thing is that the dr always has to put me on something to get my af started. That is starting to worry me. I will give him a call tomorrow so we can start planning the next cycle...

Yeah I thought it looked a little funny also. I didn't use a opk this month but I will def. get one next month. Is it unusual to not o after 2 rounds of clomid? This really stinks!!  I am still wondering if the ac has anything to do with it. I keep my bed room so cold at night that I am freezing when I get up. That's the only way I can sleep. I can't stand to be hot. Do you think the ac would make my body temp drop? A lot of women get up to at least 98 and this cycle my highest temp was 97.49. Is that odd?

Gosh, it looked like you o'd on cd14 and still through cd19, it isn't until cd26 that it gets weird and looks like no o. The temps from there on are so low compared to the earlier ones. I can see why ff took it away. It's not normal to have temps drop like that after o and stay low. I have seen a rare chart or two that proved o did happen like that but not too often. I hate to say it, but I don't think you o'd. Darn, I'm sorry.

I thought you could still post your chart even if not vip, hmmm. Maybe I am wrong. Do you have that column on the left that's puprple when you are looking at your chart, it says: main, data,cycles,etc and has a box that says sharing? If you do, when you click on it, then homepage setup,is there an address in a box that starts http://fertilityfriend.com/ ? If not the only other way I know is if you give out login info. I don't do it too often, but have so people can change the method of calculation and see the difference on my charts when ff methods all disagree.

Thank you TIna for your reply. Yes, I am on fertility friend. I tried to share my chart but I am not a VIP so it wouldn't let me. I don't know how to change the method of detection. Maybe that's another VIP benifit?? My chart showed o on may 17 and my temps stayed up until the 22 and dropped down real low on the 24, then gradually made it's way back up. When I put in my temp for the 31 it went back and reassessed the chart and is now saying an o date can't be pinpointed based on my temps. Also my cm has been pretty much the same, dry and sticky, I read clomid will do that as well...Is there a way i can show you my chart with out being a member? This is my second month of clomid. The first month i was on 50mg and this month I was on 100mg. My periods are so crazy, they come when ever they want to, if they come at all. Back in Feb the dr put me on birth control to get my af started and then he put me on the clomid. But before the bc pill I didn't have a period since last Aug. After the first round of clomid my af never came so he put he on provera (?) to get it started then I took my 2nd round of clomid. according to the chart my period was due (if it were normal) yesterday, June 1st. I've taken 6 or 7 dollar tree test hpt and all were neg. I have no syptoms of pregnancy or af. I have had extreem fatigue lately and slight cramping (only on one side at a time and at the bottom of my stomach, have no idea what that is) but the cramping didn't feel like af cramps. My temp taking habits aren't the best. I have to get up about 2 or 3 times a night to go to the br. That's normal for me though. The dr said it was okay to get up and go to the bathroom and to continue taking my temps. This is all so frustrating but I want give up. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time out and listening to me. That means a whole lot to know that people care and you are not alone. I wish you the best in ttc!!

Are you using fertility friend? If you change the method of detection, does it show o again? It takes 3 temps above a lower one for it to register an o date. On the FAM it takes 6 over 3, I think. What were your temps b4 and what now? What dpo were you when they went back down? If you are on ff, there is an option on the left called sharing, if you click it then set up home page it will give a link that we could look at the chart, too. mine is
