low BBT even after ovulation

[Chloe'sMama]

Hi all- I have been all over the place this month.... my oral temps were really inconsistent, so I started taking it vaginally. Below is my chart just for vaginal temps. I am pretty sure I did O the day FF says I did, but my temps seem so low. I am nursing DD 17 months old several times a night and the last few are always early in the morning, near 6am which is when I take my temp. Before DD1 and after DD1 (while nursing and co-sleeping), my temps usually shifted much higher after O. My Ovulation Chart

I think your LP temps are fine... those are about what mine are when nursing as well- 97.9 to low 98's.   I think it's that your pre-O temps aren't that much lower so it's hard to see the spike clearly.  This could be from waking at night.  Also, sometimes when your progesterone is on the lower side you can get more of a stair step climb instead of a giant spike.  The cycle I conceived my third I was convinced I was wrong about my O day and that AF was on her way at several points b/c my temps were quite low and fluctuating into my pre-O range.

Thanks. I am trying to stay  strong and not test until 10 DPO (I have the super sensitive tests.... they are calling my name....)

I was surprised again this morning by a lower temp.  Lets see how it is tomorrow.
