bbt help

I'm trying to track my bbt but I'm confused. I'm hoping someone can help me out. So during and after ovulation your bbt is elevated right? My temp wad between 99.1 and 99.3 for a couple of days. Then I woke up this morning and its 98.3. Does that mean I'm done ovulating and about to get my period? I don't know what my temp should be doing. I had my last period on 8/13 and normally get it every 30-34 days. My fiancée and I aren't necessarily trying to get pregnant but I know he'd be happy if it happened. I've been feeling off for the past week so that's why I started checking my temp. Its too early for an hpt so I'm just wondering if my bbt can give me an idea of what's going on.

I just checked out fertility friend. Thank you for the suggestion. I just started charting this month so I don't know my pattern yet. This will definitely probably help my confusion.

Hey there,
so when you're doing your chart you have to remember that you'll have off days. so you will know more about your chart flow after several months of charting. you have to give some wiggle room for things like, going to sleep late, moving too much before taking your temp, opening your mouth, not having 4 hours of sleep before doing it. there are many factors that can affect your temperature.
charting was nice cause it showed me that i didn't ovulate each month. but to tell you when you O its a day late so that isn't quite helpful until a few months later when you see a pattern showing up. it is also helpful to tell you if you are pregnant because your numbers wont go back down.  
as for your 98.3 i would consider that a bogey and discount it on your chart and see what happens tomorrow.
hope that was helpful.
you can always try the free tracker on this site or on fertility friend . com
