I just bought the book "Taking charge of your fertility and just started tracking my temps this morning. I am on day 3 of my menstraul cycle and Took my temp and it was 98.2 But I was looking at the "sample" charts through out the book and they are showing well under 98 when your on your period more like 97.2 and so on. I did it like it said woke up reached over and took my temp. They are showing ovulation and pregnancy temps as 98 and up. Could I have had a early miscarriage and thinking its my period? I did have a large "clot" and normally dont have clots in my periods. Help I am confused!

It could be perfectly normal for you to have slightly higher than average temps. Also, early in your cycle, the first few days of your period, it is still normal for your temps to be a bit higher due to the residual progesterone from the previous cycle. Keep temping for a few more days and see what happens.

It's going to take at least a month to see any kind of pattern. I just started temping and I didn't see any kind of pattern (I only saw problems with my chart) until today! Keep temping, even if you want to give up, and it will be worth it in the end. And remember, everyone is different. My average temperature is lower than any of those sample charts show (around 96 degrees). Good luck!

in the book there is a section with pink marking tabs at the top....I believe she gives an example of a chart with high temps during AF.....and says it's because of the hormonal changes from AF that are causing the temps to stay high. It's all a little confusing when they don't go back down like normal....for me this month I had a dip to 97.5 then it rose to 97.7 then 97.5 then 97.7 for 2 days then finally back to 97.5 for the rest of the cycle thus far. When I had the first spike back up I thought maybe I had experienced implantation dip but then was reassured that it wasn't when AF came.

that's primary that the basal physique temperature fall on the time of ovulation by ability of a pair of million/2 degree Fahrenheit. for this reason the temperature is somewhat raised above the preovulatory point, and the improve is of the order of a million/2 to a million degree. you will desire to manage to analyzing th thermometer to a million/10th of a level and you will desire to have the capacity to make the recording scientifically devoid of prejudice. Oral temperature is precise presented, you will desire to no longer have the two a warm or chilly element, earlier taking the temperature , which will desire to be completed first element after waking. you may get coaching the thank you to record temperature on a graph from the nurse.
