Take your temperature as soon as you wake up before you even get out of bed as things like drinking hot and even cold drinks with raise/decrease your temp, Also do this before you go to sleep again no hot drinks ect you need to take them around the same time daily to get an accurate reading i always take 3 then chart the lowest.
I would start testing for ovulation around CD11 again once in the morning and once at night as when it detects your LH surge you have between 24-48hrs when you will ovulate.

When you have done 2 months of temping you should have a good idea of what your coverline is that way you will then be able to tell off your temp when your about to ovulate.

Hope this helps and SSBD

Yo uneed to take your temp at the least 4 hours after you gret up, that is how long it takes the LH hormone to reach the urine every day. ALso do not drink for 2-3 hours prior to taking it helps.

Are you temping also? Do you have regular cycles? If you are yes to both it is easier. You have to temp like crazy for the first 2-4 months till you get the hang of your body and cycles. You start the day AF ends until you O. Then when you get  + you confirm with the raised BBT the next morning. If you are not temping you take it till it says + then the next day to make sure it goes abck to -.

Have you missed lasts months +, or did you have a specific problem?
