Not to worry we've all been there at some point :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570526 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:30:19 +0000 MrsADS 1570526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously feel SO dumb... I can't believe I did this. Wow. Well, that makes me feel a little better. I am not losing sleep over it since my first cycle off BCP, I'm sure it will work out. Thanks for the reassurance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570509 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:23:14 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1570509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: That's it! I bet that's why your temps are messed up! So glad you figured it out - hope the change helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570508 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:23:05 +0000 pui 1570508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, that might be way your chart looks strange!</p> <p>Also, like PPs said, since this is your first cycle off BCP, it may be a little wonky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570504 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:21:12 +0000 MrsADS 1570504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG you guys. I am such an idiot. I have been taking my temp UNDER MY ARM.... I'm supposed to do it orally or vaginally?!?! Agggh. I feel so dumb. Yes, I'm using a basal thermometer.</p> <p>I swear, I have a graduate degree. Obviously not in this area. LOL. This may be why my chart is messed up. Sigh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570473 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:13:35 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1570473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as you're temping consistently (sounds like you're doing it right), external temperature shouldn't affect much.</p> <p>Since its your first cycle off BCP, I wouldn't be surprised if your cycles are odd for awhile. It took several cycles for me to regulate post BC. It sounds like you're doing everything right - might just take awhile to regulate/see a pattern! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570448 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:06:30 +0000 mrswin 1570448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: Are you using a basal thermometer or just a regular one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570366 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:36:26 +0000 MaryM 1570366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long have you been temping?</p> <p>When looking a just a few temps, they can seem very all over the place. It usually takes two weeks or so for me to see a pattern in the bigger picture</p> <p>I don't think outside temperature or body temperature matters that much. But I have heard that mouth breathing can have an effect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570352 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:31:47 +0000 psw27 1570352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like the correct way of temping. I never worried about if I was hot when I woke up or if I needed to go to the bathroom. It might take a few cycles for you to see the pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570336 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:24:24 +0000 snowjewelz 1570336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: I don't think outside factors affect your internal body temp that much.. I vary from feeling cold to hot when I temped, it's normal to have them kind of wacky. Your cycle may also be long since you just got off BFP. I would call up your OBGYN if it goes on for longer and no AF still.</p> <p>Do you have a link to your chart? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-question#post-1570328 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:21:03 +0000 MrsADS 1570328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first cycle off BCP and I decide about halfway through to buy a thermometer to start recording my temp. I check it as soon as my alarm goes off, without getting out of bed or anything, and then put it in the app I'm using. </p> <p>My question is, sometimes I wake up and I'm kind of hot from being under the covers. Is that going to affect my body temp? Do I need to be a comfortable, neutral temperature before I get a correct temp? Also, I usually have to pee really bad but I temp first. Is that the right thing to do? </p> <p>I'm asking because my cycle seems kind of messed up (today is CD 35, no period, not pg). And my temp chart is just all over the place. Just a bunch of jagged ups and downs. It doesn't look like any examples I've seen. So I'm wondering if maybe I'm doing the temping wrong. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
