Help understanding BBT
Hi I'm new to tracking BBT this is the first month I have used it.
I am really confused as to what is going on with my chart and if this is normal.
I take my BBT at the same time everyday immediately after waking up before i do anything else.
Since when I think was ovluation my BBT dropped and then has been up and down every other day as you can see in the photo, the blue line on the graph.
I use the premom app to track not sure if that makes a difference.
Has anyone else experienced this ? Is it normal I'm so confused.

Looking at your chart, I'd say you've not ovulated yet, looks like your body tried (the rise) but failed (the sudden drop)
You need a minimum of 3 high temps compared to the previous 7 days to confirm ovulation
@Heather oh ok that would make sense as I didn't get a peak on my ovluation test strips this Month either but I was really ill on the weekend the app said I would ovluate. I am due my period tomorrow so does that mean I won't ovluate this Month ?
Have you continued to monitor your BBT as usually your body will try again 5/7 days later, and then period the usual 14 or so days from ovulation as the time between ovulation and the start of your period is always regular, this is often why women get a "delayed" period and negative tests.
@Heather yes I am still monitoring BBT every morning
Can you share your chart now? X
Yeah it doesn't look like you've ovulated yet. It's possible to have a cycle where you don't ovulate occasionally but if it's a regular thing then you'd need to speak to your Dr.
@Heather thank you it's so confusing I'm going through fertility tests with the doctors at the moment as we have been trying about 18 months now with no luck but I am just trying to do anything I can to improve our chances I the mean time.
