BBT rise and drop over and over again

[Nolta]

I was wondering if anyone had this issue. It seems like my BBT rises but then it just drops again then rises and then drops. I believe I ovulated yeasterday cd17 at 97.91 but today cd18 my BBT droped back down to 97.58. Why would it do that? Oh I should mention I am on my third round of clomid but first time taking 100mg.

Plus does anyone have a hard time telling the difference from EWCM to sperm? I know that EWCM will stretch and sperm wont stretch or stretch weel or asorb in the toliet paper. But there are just days I just cant tell.

I am checking my CM, CP, cervix opening, charting BBT, sex every other day from cd11, and putting a pillow under my butt and my feet in the air for 30 min. +. Today is cd 21 and I would normally go in for my blood work to check my progestrone. I think I will go after my workout, I need to know if I Oed so we can give the sex a rest for the month. After awhile the sex just becomes to much. My DH used to be stressed out too. But, I stoped talking to him about all of the details of my cycle. All he wants to know when we have to start our bding and when he can end.

These past couple of days I have been having these odd fellings in my cervix as if moving or something, like a twinging (not pain). Then my lower belly feels odd to not sick not in pain I just feel something. Who knows. Its getting annoying that I can feel every little thing going on in my body ever since I started to ttc. I dont know if its the same for you.

i am so sorry to hear about you 4th baby. That had to be really hard to over come a loss like that. sorry to hear about your first husband, its a shame when they turn to the dark side but luckly you noticed a problem and got yourself and children out of it.

I'll let you know if I go in for blood work and what my progestron levels are. It normaly takes about a week to get the results. Being the south things move very slow. so annoying.

Yes the air in the home and your shift will change your temps, your temp goes up a half a degree I think every hour in the day. Even if you work night shift out bodies react to the day night the same fo rthe most part. You need at least 4 hours of uninterupted sleep to chart BBT. Have you thought of charting CP and CM? I know it gets to be very detailese and not what we want for baby making and lots of both men and woman get stressed about the whole thing. My DH got very stressed abou it!! I kinds felt horrible in a way. I got a reversal done though after my 4th baby dies shortly after birth, my new DH is the love of my life, first one was abusive, anyway we go the reversal and I only have one tube so it can taek me longer so I wanted to do everything!! Charting BBT, CM, CP, OPK's,Progesterone, butt up in the air on pillows for a half an hour after wards, sex every other day then the day of and day after. See what I mean! This next time we are just letting it happen. I am breastfeeding exclusivly still at 8 months and yet to O:( I also don't sleep even 2 hours at a time let alone 4 the even be able to take my BBT. SO that is that!

Yeah after a year is definetly time to get your dr moving!!! Let me know what he says

I never had any issues with the OPK. And I'm kicking myself for not using them this month. I really need to stop letting my husband talk me into such things. I'm going to get my cd21 bloodwork done so I don't have keep wondering on whats going on. I know my OB said I don't need to (that was two ago she told me) but, I'm going to anyway.

I've also notice my bbt acts up deponding if I'm sleeping with my husband or not. I know I sleep better when my husband sleeps with me. We both work different hours every other month. I work the midnight shift and he works the swing shift so it changes every other month. Thankfuly he suggested for us to bd every other day untill we know if I've Oed. So thats no more begging.

BBT is free but its driving my nuts. I never thought it would make me wonder if I'm taking my temp. correctly. At first my OB said I shouldn't do BBT because I work the midnight shift and it wouldn't be accurate and just stick with the OPK. I will have to say my sleeping patterens get off its sechdual at times during the week but can that really be a cause of my BBT dips? Can weather changing be affective i mean I already have the A/C  and fans on in the house. I live in Savannah, GA area it gets up to 80 already. Like I said who knew taking my temp can drive me crazy and question myself.

next time I talk to my OB i will ask her about metformin. thanks for responding.

Oh but I never knew of OPK's working on woman with PCOS, I was always told they give false positives and do not work. Is it cause you are on clomid? BBT is so much better in my opinion and free:)

my sister has PCOS also, she has endo to so has yet to get pregnant from that. It is common to be all wacky with it even on clomid but I really suggest you get your dr to put your on metformin. Woman on it have less mc, more regulated cycles and get pregnant faster. My sisters dr would not put her on it either. My best friend all she has to do is go on the metformin and she gets pregnant and doesn't take the clomid. Best of luck to you and I looked at yoru profile, congrats on the weight loss!! That will help ya so much! It is so hard to loose. I have a hyperthyriod but am over weight, go figure. Then when I get pregnant I loose and loose even more after when nursing. I can't stay pregnant forever though;) I told DH just 2 more and I will be back to normal weight. LOL Good luck and I hope you O soon!

I do have PCOS and I got pregnant last summer but I mc in late august. Since then I have been put on Clomid three times (I’m on my third cycle now). At first I was Oing on cd15 and now I'm Oing on cd17.

This month I'm not using OPK because I didn't have the money for the strips plus my OB said since we know I'm Oing I also don’t need to go in for cd21 blood work. So of course this month my body wants to act up. Only my luck. Hence why my fortune cookie said "pick another fortune cookie." lol-not cool.
Well, I guess I will see if my temp re-rises and just keep having sex.

I can not tell you without seeing a BBT chart what is going on but it sound slike you are not ovulating which they call anovulatory, you said you are taking clomid so I would guess you are not Oing yet and they will raise it. Do you have PCOS? That is a thing that can cause you to be anovulatory. Then they should put you on metformin to be able to concieve. PCOS the longer you wait to concieve the harder it will get and they should act ast with the meds and definetly put you on metformin.

I also suggest that you look up fertility firend onlione. they have charts and it is free even after the trial. You can look up other charts like yours or whatever. It is the best way to teach you about charting and learning your cycles. Best of luck.
