bbt temps

Hey,                                                                Hope someone can help.I have been charting and it has been in the 97.5 to 97.7 now it is been 98.1 for the past 2 days.When it peaks does that mean I am ov. or that I have already ov.Because when it peaked that day we did not bed.Thanks for any advice.

You have to have at least 3 high temps (above your coverline) to confirm O.  Ususally it's too late to BD the day of the rise temp because rise temp means you've Oed already.  Did you bd before.  Do you chart your temp on Fertilityfriend.com?

Dollchina is right, but I wanted to add a couple more things.  You are most fertile in 5 days leading up to O, so if you had sex at least 1x in the few days before the temp spike, then you may still have a chance.  Typically, you count your last low temp as the day that you Oed.  Some women's temps don't shoot up right away though, so you may have Oed a couple of days sooner.  Also, you may still want to BD on the day you have a temp spike.  It is usually too late, but sometimes you O twice, and that will usually happen within 24 hours.

Hey,Thanks for your help.I want to share with you my temps since I am new to this.After af they were 97.5,98.97.7,97.8,97.5,97.5,97.6,97.7,97.7,98.1,98.1.I didn't really get a drop.I did a opk and it said +on 97.6 I think.Last month I did get a good drop.What do you think of these temps.Thanks

If I had to guess, I would say that your lasy 97.7 was the day you Oed.  The temp dip is not reliable.  I got it the first month I charted then I never got it again.  The best thing you can do is make sure that you are taking it at the exact same time every a.m.  Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.  Hopefully you won't have to do it for much longer!
