Could someone explain my chart?

[minilady]

Hello all...

So I have been charting for the past two weeks, but my chart looks a bit all over the place to me : ( is there any chance of someone explaining it to me?

SSBD to everyone : ) x

Yes I am getting atleast 6 hours of sleep every night : )
and Yes my thermometer is digital : )

My cycles vary between 28 - 32 days

Thanks so much : )

I will take my temps at the same time and see if it helps : )

Are you getting at least 4 hours of sleep before you take the temp?  I would try to be a little closer together in time...like always at 6 or always at 7...at least within 30 minutes of each other.  Good that you don't do any movement.  And your thermometer is digital?

How long are your cycles normally?  About the climate change, it's possible I suppose.  However, for me, I live in a place that has freezing winters, and in the middle of winter, I went from weather in the teens to South Florida weather.  And I don't really recall it affecting my temps.  

I do think you are ovulating.

I really wish you great luck!!

Thank you so much : )

I take my temp between 6am and 7.30am every morning, I don't do any movement beforehand, so I feel I'm pretty consistent with that aspect.

I have noticed that my temps rose around day 12, and I think that is due to climate change ( I went to England for a few days, then came back to MN and MN is really hot and humid, so wasn't even sleeping with covers on it was so warm)

I'm 99% sure I'm ovulating as my CM is eggwhite like and very stretchy : )

Thank you for your answer, I really appreciate it : ) x

I didn't track for toooo long because it drove me crazy.  However, I have a good friend who is very good at this, and she taught me a lot.  I am not sure if you are being veryyyy specific with it.  What I mean is, you need to take your temp at the same time every morning...even if it is a morning that you sleep in, you need to wake up  to take it at the time you take it every other day and then go back to sleep.  Also, you need to take it before you do ANYTHING.  Before you get out of bed, before you kiss your partner, before you talk, before you go to the bathroom...before ANYTHING.  Your thermometer should be RIGHT next to you so that you don't have to get out of bed to do it.  You need to do it after having at least 4 hours of sleep.  If not, it's too hard to rely on.  So, if you are someone who gets up at 4 am to use the bathroom, but don't go to bed until 1am, and then get up at 6am for work, temping isn't a great idea for you.  Try to take it in the same place in your mouth every time.  Make sure you are using a digital thermometer.  If you had a sleep disturbance, like a nightmare that woke you up, make sure you note that on your chart as a sleep disturbance.  

It is super easy for your temp to be affected, so the littlest things can cause your chart to look crazy.  If you follow all of those rules above, it may and should help.  If you are getting positive opk's and you have a regular period, chances are you are ovulating.  

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.  Good luck!

Thanks Everyone : )

@Cassandra, my Tracker should be on my profile page, can you not see it?

@Connie G, my OPK's say that I am ovulating, so I'm hoping that I am : ) I'll have a look at your chart : )

Okay...If I would have tracked all month I would say my blue line could possibly be at 96.7 degrees.....So if you track all month maybe your horizontal line will be at 97.9 degrees......

(I'm horribly at getting the thoughts in my head out where other people can understand. lol.  It's garble in there)

I haven't did the temp tracking before, but was reading it needs to be right after waking before getting out of bed, at the same time each day.
