And yes after a nice session of googling anything I come out of it convinced that I will drop dead at any moment lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173872 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:40:43 +0000 Mrs. Blue 173872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pre-O temps are often in the 96.5 to low 97s range. I wouldn't worry at all at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173852 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:28:28 +0000 tororojo 173852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome! That doesn't sound super low, especially since you haven't established a normal pattern for your own waking temperatures--it will probably take a few months before you get a general idea of what is normal for your body. Google is sometimes the worst thing to do when you have health questions! (For me, anyway--I always end up convincing myself that I have cancer or something) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173794 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:59:22 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 173794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre O my temps range from 96.8 to 97.5. I had no idea that low temps could be linked to infertility. Good thing I didn't know that because it would have been something else I stressed about! </p> <p>@chibee welcome! I'm glad you delurked and joined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173787 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:56:47 +0000 Adira 173787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: Make sure that you're using a BBT thermometer as opposed to a normal thermometer. When I first started charting, I was using a regular thermometer and my temps were WAY low (around 95.0!). When I switched to a BBT one, they were still low (around ~97.0 pre-ovulation) but higher than what the regular one thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173780 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:51:51 +0000 SleepyMonkey 173780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a little concerned bc my temps were higher than most. Around 98 before ovulating. I dont think it matters, only the relative movement of your own temperature to itself. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173776 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:44:14 +0000 chibee 173776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! I get carried away because when I googled "low bbt" scary words like "hypothyroidism" and "infertility" were popping up. I've been lurking for a while, this board is very helpful and informative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173725 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:07:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 173725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pre O temps were usually around 97 degrees. It's totally normal. In fact, I've never had a temperature near "normal" 98.6. Good luck.</p> <p>ETA: Welcome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newbie-joining-with-a-temp-question#post-173713 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:57:08 +0000 chibee 173713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all! I am not actively TTC yet but this is my first cycle off the pill (after 10 years!) and I have started charting just to see how my body works for the next few months while we get ready. I am on CD6, and I noticed my temp is way lower than most, ranging from 96.3 to 97.3, mostly under 97. Has anyone experienced this? Is this normal? Thanks!! </p>
