Although I've charted for years, this is the first time I'm really paying close attention to things since we're finally TTC.

So, I have a question. For those who chart BBT...how much does alcohol really affect your temperature?

I'm nearing the end of the TWW (12dpo) and honestly, I fully expected a major temp drop this morning.

However, it went up more than .3.

I had a single cocktail last night with dinner (so not super late, and I still went to bed on time). I didn't think ONE mixed drink would raise my temp that much...but...what do you find alcohol does to you?

I took a FRER this morning just to be safe, but it's stark white BFN.

With all my spotting/mucous plus this temp increase, FF made my crosshairs dotted this morning (they used to be solid). What the hell, body??

(this cycle has been odd in regards to all the spotting...which I have talked to my doctor about. But he was hopeful because they seemed regular temp/time wise. Now I'm wondering if that's going out the window?)
