I have started taking my temperature when I got my period. - Yes, I got my period after 2 weeks of worrying! That was still weird to me, but whatever. I got it, and so now I have a new starting line to start counting the days again. I also found out that taking your body’s temperature in the mornings when you wake up is a good way to predict when you’re about to ovulate.

The most important, or primary, fertility signs are your basal body temperature (BBT) and your cervical fluid.

Your basal body temperature rises after ovulation due to increased progesterone in your bloodstream. Your cervical fluid is the fluid that is produced by your cervix as ovulation is approaching. You can see and feel it in or outside your vagina. Cervical fluid, which is sometimes called cervical mucous (CM), changes throughout your cycle depending on your fertility status. It becomes watery and stretchy, like raw egg white when you are most fertile just before ovulation.

Taking note of these observations and recording them is enough to provide the clues you need to help time intercourse appropriately to get pregnant and see when (and sometimes if) you ovulate. Other, secondary, optional signs can add extra insight and help to cross-check the interpretation from your primary fertility signs.  source: fertilityfriend.com

I am not sure how this is going to help us but I am willing to do some work. So far, i’ve been consistently recording 97.2F.  Today I recorded 97.1. I think that’s on the low end of the normal body temperature (97-100).  I wonder if htere’s something wrong with our thermometer. hm.
