What cd are you on? It could be that AF is on its way, my temp tends to drop by a couple of degrees when shes nearly there, about 14-16dpo.

I suppose its possible the Robitussin could have lowered your temp though im not 100% sure, maybe it will go up again tomorrow. See what happens and go from there. It could also be a drop in temps outside as it is cold at the moment and this may have an effect on your temp. Just an idea!
Good luck ;)

You may be ovulating soon/now, that's certainly possible. If your temps rise soon, I guess you'll know you ovulated. How long have you been charting your temps? Do you know on what day (or range of days) you typically ovulate? Just an idea...
Also, some women can experience a little more temperature variation than others. Sometimes my temperature can go down and back up by 0.5 degrees and I haven't ovulated yet (my temp goes up almost a full degree after I've ovulated).
I don't know about the Robitussin, I've never heard of that. I suppose the only way to know if it's Robitussin is to see if your temps do this each time after you take it.
Keep us posted on what you find. Good luck!!

It's normal for your temps to flucuate a bit in either part of your cycle. The important thing is that they are staying above your coverline. Mine are anywhere from 97.6 to 98.1 post O, and they rarely get above 97.3 before O. Also, it's normal to see 2-3 days of high temps in the middle of your LP b/c this is when your progesterone peaks. Try not to worry about the individual temps so much. You're really just looking to make sure your chart is biphasic.

HI ~ I recently got pregnant after trying for 8 months. I was in my 2nd month of taking temps when I finally got pregnant. I was also taking EPO from CD1 until O day and then stopped, and also taking Vitex for about 2 months. I did try the Robitussin for a few months, but could not find that to be much help. If your taking Vitex sometimes it can take up to 3 months before it's effective. But, I truly believe that's what helped me get pregnant. I noticed the 2nd month of taking Vitex that my temps seemed normal, like they are supposed to be. In fact, I ovulated a whole week earlier the month I got pregnant. My temps ranged in the beginning of the month from 96.8 to 97.0 once I ovulated my temp jumped up to 98.0 and stayed pretty steady at that after I ovulated fluctuating once in awhile from 97.8 to 98.3. Everyone is different, so like Heyknack said you could be ovulating now. Unfortunately, you won't know for sure until your temp spikes up, and then it's too late. If you just started taking EPO etc... they might have no effect this month since your already on day 11. How many days are typically in your cycle??? I was lucky, I could always feel when I was ovulating, I would always get these menstrual-like cramps around days 12 or 13. If you can afford it, you could always try using Ovulation sticks, and they will be able to detect your LH surge right now, if you are indeed about to ovulate.
Good luck!!!

I've been taking Vitex too b/c I have a long cycle. Much to my surprise it kicked in last month. I Oed on CD 13 instead of CD 20! Unfortunately, I missed my chance last cycle though. I wan't expecting to O so early & DH & I were not BDing that week b/c he was working late every night. I started using an OPK on CD 9 and it never showed my LH surge. Thank God I was charting or I would have thought I didn't O and would have had something new to worry about! Now I'm sticking strictly to my chart and body signs. The OPK went in the garbage!
