charting

[stacy212]

Hi, everyone I have a question about charting...when i started charting i was really low temp, like
96..and later it went high and now i should get af by next week and my temp is 97.7 or 97.6
and back to 97.7...My question is how high will temp get if you get preganant..I mean 97.7 is
normal right..that means i should get af next week because this temp is considered low right????

Before and after o temperatures differ from person to person. It sounds like your temps are in the lower range, but still considered normal. It will be a lot easier to see when you've temped for one whole cycle. It does sound like you ovulated, though, based on the fact that your temperature was lower during the first part of your cycle and now are higher. Your temperature should remain high until your next AF is about to show (it usually dips the day before or the day AF arrives). If you do get pregnant, however, your temps can either get even higher (to a third level of temperatures) or stay in the same range they are now. The main thing is just that they continue to stay above your coverline. Hope that helps!
