Today’s Obsession: BBT

Of course I need something to worry about.

So, much like Decaf at My Little Happy Family, I did not get a temp spike today like I did after ovulation day last cycle. It literally went up maybe .2 degrees, but I took it twice and used the higher temp. Obviously that means I’m spending my day obsessing over whether or not I actually ovulated yesterday, and if not, whether the little swimmers would have made it to today.

Here’s my chart this month so far (excuse the wacky temps on the weekends – we traveled a bit this month and sometimes I sleep in):

And last month’s:

Given that my temp went up over a couple of days last month, I still feel like there is a chance I ovulated yesterday (hopefully) (or maybe that’s just what I have to tell myself so I don’t feel like I flushed $1000 down the vagina toilet). My Monday temp may very well have been artificially high because I had 2 glasses of wine on Sunday night, and barely slept a wink from all the anxiety. I am 99% sure I did not have a solid 4-hour chunk of sleep before temping (it was MAYBE 2 1/2 hours). Also both yesterday and today I temped at weird times (but it was probably only off by a half hour or so), and my CM is definitely drying up – with no EW or WCM in sight. Could all of those things account for a less-than-ideal rise today? Hoping for a better sign tomorrow.

  1. I’ve noticed with temping that, for me, alcohol intake doesn’t affect my bbt much, nor does my 3 am pee break. But that could just be me. I hope you get clarity tomorrow. Also, my temps on weekends when I’m not waiting on bated breath for a positive opk vary a lot too.

    • I’ve noticed a bit of oddness when I drink but have never tested the lack of solid sleep (honestly, I always get solid sleep). I guess we’ll see in the morning. Still holding out hope that I didn’t eff up the timing :/

  2. Unfortunately I’d have to say your chart this month looks like a classic anovulatory cycle. I’ve had plenty, however how long are you usual cycles? I see you inseminated on CD 33 which would mean you’d get AF around CD 47. Sounds off to me. Your last month’s looks pretty “normal”. BBT can really frazzel you so try not to put much weight in it until the cycle is over and you can look back.

    • My cycles are always long and consistently inconsistent. I have had ovulatory cycles that were 45-49 days though (ugh PCOS). I’m holding out hope to see if my temp goes up tomorrow. I’ve had a ovulatory cycles, but never with clear signs of ovulation like this month (abundant CM, positive OPK, ovulation cramps). I’ll have to see what happens the next few days with my temp!
