Post-O is fairly consistent across the three cycles/charts but this cycle pre-O is different. (This cycle = green line/dots). </p> [attach=2229/13/mmwjua.600x389.revNyQkat.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-786298 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:34:20 +0000 LindsayInNY 786298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: That could be it. I'm wondering if it's a combination of the electric blanket and the freezing cold temperatures inside that are doing it too? My post-O temps are similar to the last cycles but the pre-O are higher than previously. I've noticed other O signs/symptoms too - +OPK (obviously) and my skin breaking out (seems to coincide with O). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-786269 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:25:51 +0000 doxielove 786269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I charted 4 cycles last year, March-June, and so far I'm on cycle 5 (Nov-May), and I haven't really noticed too much of a change of temps with the seasons. It sounds like your new environment may be affecting your temps, though. I know travel can affect your BBT, so maybe moving does too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782750 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:39:22 +0000 LindsayInNY 782750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: Yes! My cycle looks just like yours when compared to previous ones! I think I Oed but things have been slow since so I don't know now. (I friended you on FF too!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782744 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:38:28 +0000 LindsayInNY 782744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @looch: I don't think the heating blanket affected things as much as I anticipated it would. In the middle of winter, our apartment was anywhere from 45-55 degrees INSIDE when I woke up. I'm guessing the blanket brought my BBT to a more reasonable/normal level? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782611 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:08:41 +0000 looch 782611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have thought that the heating blanket would have affected your temps making you run a bit warmer, but what do I know? </p> <p>I temped for three years and never had a noticeable change among the seasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782602 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:06:41 +0000 pui 782602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like I said in the May POAS thread, it is possible you O'd CD23 and you're just having a slow rise.</p> <p>My logic is that since your environment has been consistent this whole cycle of charting, even though your temps are higher, they are consistently higher so they should be accurate... I think. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782598 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:05:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 782598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think the heating blanket would affect things a lot more than the change in season, unless it was really hot or really cold in your apartment.</p> <p>I never saw much of a difference between spring and summer, but my apartment stayed cool year round (ground floor in the shade). I did see a noticeable difference when I switched thermometers but doesn't sound like that would be the case for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782571 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:01:19 +0000 thismustbetheplace 782571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me too, me too!!! How odd.</p> <p>My cycles have been pretty much spot-on consistant until this month. Now i'm all over the place... not quite post-O temps (generally 98.2 or higher) but higher than normal pre-O temps (normally 97.7). I don't think I O'd at all this cycle. Glad to see at least i'm not the only one? *humph*</p> <p><a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3a410b/">My Ovulation Chart</a></p> <p>edit- looking back I did have a funky cycle May-June last year too, bizarre. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bbt-changing-with-season#post-782533 Wed, 15 May 2013 09:53:58 +0000 LindsayInNY 782533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cross-posting this from the May POAS thread hoping someone can help provide some insight!</p> <p>This is my third cycle charting and the last two cycles have had a previous obvious temperature spike post-O. I'm due for a spike now but can't really tell if I have, haven't or if it's in progress. My pre-O temps have been higher than usual this cycle. My pre-O temps usually tend to be between 96.5 and 97.2 pre-O with the exception of some later morning temps. This cycle has been 97 to 97.8 which is much higher, especially pre-O! Today's temp was 97.7 which is higher than recent days and closer to my post-O temps from the past two cycles (97.7 to 98.7 and 97.6 to 98.5)..</p> <p>Here's my chart, if anyone is interested - it only shows this cycle and last cycle though. The cycle not shown was 63 days - I started temping around CD37 and my post-O temps were 97.8 and higher before AF came (pre-O was 96.5 to 97.2).</p> <p><a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/LindsayInNYC"><br /> <img src="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/LindsayInNYC/thumb.png" /><br /> <br /> My Ovulation Chart</a> </p> <p>The last two cycles were charted in a different apartment. It had terrible insulation and was freezing during the winter so we used a heating blanket. My current cycle has been entirely post-move. I know the weather has changed but so have other circumstances - namely, the heating blanket. I'm still waking up around the same time. Possibly wearing slightly less clothing?</p> <p>I don't know if the weather and seasons can affect things like pre-O temperatures or what. Any ideas?? (sorry so long!) </p>
