Why are you so scared as you stated in your previous post?  Your body has higher temps before and during ovulation. Are you taking your temps at the same time everyday (even weekends) before moving (getting out of bed)?  Pre ovulation temps are around 97.0 but differ for everyone (my moms normal temp is 96.0).  Usually you have ovulated if your temp is .20 degrees higher than the previous days...and it stays elevated for about 3 days.  Sometimes there is a dip in temps on the day of ovulation because of the estrogen.  Are you also checking CM?
Ive heard that if you have normal cycles that it usually takes about 4 to 6 cycles to conceive with BBT charting...but Im not sure how accurate that is.
Ive also read somewhere that low temps can mean an under active thyroid.

You temp will be low until about 24 hours after you ovulate.  It will fluctuate (often very low) before you O.  Sometimes it takes 2 days for your temps to rise.  Have you every read Taking Charge of Your Fertility?  It goes through all the BBT stuff very clearly.
