BBT § Spotting Query

by Middangeard, Sep 19, 2003 12:00AM
Having posted the question below: "Spotting, Lower BBT, Progesterone, etc" I realize I should be asking yet another question... Does anyone know if one's BBT can be low post- ovulation, due to non-hormonal factors, and yet still be pregnant? The low temp I took today came after two nights of restless sleep (the night before I was so stressed out I slept 3 hours only) and I was also chilly, not having enough covers on me. I also took my temp at 3:15am, because I was afraid I wouldn't get the needed 3 hours sleep to take my usual reading (I had to be up at 5:45am). I added the necessary degrees to the reading--in Celsius, one adds 0.5 degree for every half hour that one took a reading too early. However, the reading still seemed low to me. Can I possibly be pregnant with a low reading taken under these conditions?

No need now... Turns out I'm not pregnant (AF arrived).  Now the concern is whether I have a Luteal defect (and thus the spotting) since it clearly wasn't implantation bleeding.
Thanks for your input Hope.
