The time is probably making a big difference. You have to do it at the same time every day, week day or weekend. I would start there and see if it balances out. I would also consider this one a practice one and don't expect to really see much information out of it. Everyone varies on what really affects their temp, but mine is affected if I have more than a few drinks (goes way high, so I don't even temp those mornings); or if I'm an hour or more off from my usual temping time. I have gotten up and peed an hour before temping and then it stayed stable, but that's just what I found for myself personally.

So, take it at the same time every single day, don't do anything besides roll over, turn off the alarm, put thermometer in mouth. And note if the time was different, or if you were drinking, didn't sleep well, etc. It gets easier to remember, but I've been doing it for 4 months now and still forgot the other day.

You should be able to take your temp at different times, as long as you get 3 consecutive hours of sleep before. But you can't lay in bed for 30 minutes before you take your temp, you're supposed to take it immediately after waking. This might be why your chart isn't showing a clear temperature shift.

To illustrate why it's so important to temp at the same time every day - your temperature generally goes up .1 degree every half hour in the morning. so if you were taking it at 6 am and then took it at 10 am one day, that's a difference of 4 hours or up to .8 degrees. It might help a lot to set your alarm for sometime between 6 and 7 every day even if you have to go back to sleep on the weekends.

If this is your first cycle off BC, your cycle's probably going to be kind of crazy no matter what you do! It doesn't look like you've ovulated yet, but as @shutterbug suggested you might find it helpful to use OPKs too!
