Can someone help me with my bbt's? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Ok...here are my bbt's. My BF and I are re-reading "Taking Charing of your Fertility" and for some reason he thinks that since my high temps are low (above the coverline) - then I'm not pregnant. Is there any way to tell this? I will list my temps from CD5 - CD24...please help. tell me what you think. Thanks.

CD5 97.1
CD6 97.2
CD7 96.9
CD8 97.0
CD9 97.4
CD10 96.9
CD11 97.2
CD12 97.3
CD13 97.1
CD14 96.9
CD15 97.7
CD16 97.6
CD17 98.3
CD18 97.8
CD19 97.9
CD20 97.7
CD21 98.1
CD22 97.7
CD23 97.8
CD24 97.6

My coverline is 97.5
Where it's bolded is where I "assume" I ovulated...which of course I BD'ed two days before, one day before and the day of and the day after.

Any analysis on this chart would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I posted a similiar question last week and the responses I got said that if your temperature stays high for 18 days straight after ovulation you could assume that your pregnant... but charting temps isn't a good tool to use to figure out if your pregnant, it is only good for knowing if and when you ovulated, which you did! Best of luck, keeping my fingers crossed for you!***Baby Dust***

But since my "high" temperatures (above the coverline) are low...does that mean I'm not pg?

Not necessarily although I'll admit that my chart looked the same at the end last month and I got af 13 dpo...or atleast when I thought O was. Do you have a 28 day cycle?
As for low temps...don't go by what books or others say...some say you need to be above a certain temp to indicate O but my temps are normally lower than this and I know I have O before...I have a child to prove it!!!
Good luck and if it isnt' your month...happy bd'ing!!!

I have anywhere from a 28-32 day cycle...although this is the earliest that I've ever ovulated...so it must be a shorter month....we'll see...thanks.
