Question about BBT

[Michele, Katy, TX]

I use BBT as a way of natural family planning.  So, I have been charting on Fertility Friend for like 6 months I believe.  I like to think that I have a pretty good grasp on it now but I am really confused with how my temps are this cycle.  I thought for sure I ovulated on CD15 which as this past Sunday.  Then my temp rose Monday morning like I figured it would.  But then it went down a bit on Tues.  Then it rose Wed. and today.  But I'm just confused because I think FF is going to say that I Oed on Tues. but I was hardly having any CM that day at all.  It seemed to dry up really which normally happens after ovulation takes place.  I normally have a whole lot of EWCM prior to Oing and on that day.  And with all my past charts, my temp is in the high 96s when I O.  But if FF says that I Oed on Tues., that would be very high for me.  See, normally my preovulation temp is below 97.5 and then after I ovulate, it is 97.5 and higher.  That's how it has been since I started charting.  Also, even though FF hasn't picked up my ovulation yet, it says that I am probably not fertile now.  But normally it won't tell you that until it picks up your ovulation day for certain.

Oh my, I know this thread is all over the place.  Please let me know if you can't follow.  I know I was going back and forth a lot, but it is a lot to type and still get the whole story out there.  LOL!

Please take a look at my chart and tell me what you think......Thanks ladies.

Thanks girl!  That's what I thought.  I thought I Oed on CD 15 but was then surprised when my temp dropped some 2 days later.  But yet, I have never Oed with my temp that high either (97.45).  And, yes I do take my temp at the same time each day.  On the weekends I even set an alarm.  Oh and that high temp was crazy.  IDK...I wasn't sick but it did that to me last month also, only it was after I Oed and not before.  It could also have been my thermometer.  I just got a new one though.  Same brand and same thermometer.  I think my battery may have been getting low???

Anyway, thanks again for looking.  I will look at your chart.

i looked again and it may have been cd 15.

okay if I looked at the right chart then I think you o'd on or about CD 12, because that is the day prior to temp increase and staying up.  Temps can go down slightly for any reason.  - That is just my guess.  Your temps are all over the place!  What is up the 100 degree temp - were you sick, if so disregard that temp!  Also are you taking your temp at the same time every day before getting out of bed.  If not try to do that and if you can't you need to adjust your temperature according to how late/early you got up.  You can use this website to do that:

Just make sure to stick to the same time every day (IE if you usually get up at 6:30, but it is saturday so you sleep in until 8 - adjust temp according to regular time of 6:30)

Take a look at my photos on medhelp.  I have my chart from ff saved (the month I got preggo) and they predicted my O correctly and I believe had a temp decrease after o.  

Hope this helps and makes sense.
