This is the first month i have charted my base body temperature. It elevated on day 14 (from 36.3oc to 36.7oc. It has been down at 36.3oc and today has risen to 36.8oc. As it has not stayed raised does this mean I am not pregnant. Does the rise in temp today just mean my period is coming? I took a HPT on Friday which was negative and don't want to test again until tomorrow so please don't tell me to do these things but any advice on how BBT works would be great. Thanks

Your temp will usually dive, not elevate, before your period starts. The rise in your temp is promising. Do you take your temperature the same time every morning, because if you don't it will affect your results.
According to Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, if you have 18 high temps (above your baseline) in a row, then your are almost positively pregnant. From my calculations, Thursday would be your 18th day if your temps stay high. If they do and you haven't started your period I'd test again on that day.
Good luck!
