Is Temp Normal? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Using Basal Body Thermometer and temp is 96.6 for almost all of the times I tested. I thought it is suppose to be above 97 or above. When I am charting it looks wrong. Is this normal?

Everyone has a different base body temp. My usual temp is around 96ish to. I wouldnt worry..just look for an increase to indicate ovulation...

Me too- The chart I downloaded to track my temps just goes to 96.9 and my temps went way below that in the first half of my cycle. I thought something was wrong. But I think it's just some of us have lower bbt. In the winter I get so cold at bedtime I have to wear lots of layers and an outdoor jacket with a hood and sometimes hand mittens. My DH just wears a Tshirt and light pants. It seems like something's wrong with my temperature, but my Dr just said it was just probably how I am and nothing's wrong.

How high have you gotten in the second half of your cycle? For me the max has been 98.

This morning my temp was 97.2. It is now going up because I should be ovulating this weekend.
