I tried temping at the wakeup (which was usually 3-5am) and using an online temperature adjuster but I found that to be ineffective and I got a MUCH better picture by just temping at the same time each day (6:30 or 7am) as long as I'd had a good 30min-1hr of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-bbt-go-down-before-your-period#post-2593529 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 10:34:30 +0000 HappyBaker 2593529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: @kes18: thank you! I'm really hoping to make charting work for me but my DD keeps waking me up / messing with my sleep! This first half month has been confusing! Hopefully once I get AF and start fresh things will make more sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-bbt-go-down-before-your-period#post-2593504 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 10:06:51 +0000 kes18 2593504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally yes, my temperature would dip down all the way to the coverline or below it and I would get AF that day or the next day. But sometimes it didn't actually fall until a day or two after AF started.</p> <p>I would think it would be a greater dip than that, but you don't have a full month to go on so there is not a good picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-bbt-go-down-before-your-period#post-2593432 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:51:07 +0000 Shantuck 2593432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that happens for lots of people but for me, my temps wouldn't dip until a few days after my period started (I charted for a year for TTC purposes). I think everyone is different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-bbt-go-down-before-your-period#post-2593410 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:39:32 +0000 HappyBaker 2593410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started charting for the first time and started mid cycle and I'm not sure exactly when my period in June was! I know it was at least a month ago as of this week because I didn't have my period during 4th of July weekend. </p> <p>Should I see a dip before my period gets here? How big of a dip?</p> <p>[attach=1530/16/oaz79w.338x600.image.jpg] </p>
