@angela2011bride: I take my temp around 5:30 every morning and I tend to be in the 96.2-96.6 pre-ovulation. It was so low I had to modify the form we use to keep track of my temps. Post-ovulation, it's only maybe 97.1ish.
I have no idea if this applies, but is your temperature normally lower? My SIL's body temp is nearly 2 degrees lower than most people's, and even after a long active day, mine is seldom above 98.1. We're all different!
Welcome to NFP/FAM! If you go under Catholic, there are a lot of posts about it, even from us non-Catholic girls because many there are also using this. Also, chelseamorning (here on the bee) always advertises that if you have questions, she'll try to help you out. She's been using this for nearly 3 years I think and is still baby-free!
Good luck! I've been charting for a few months now.
My temperature isn't as low as yours, but it tends to be lower than all of the examples I've seen in the book. I would suggest just charting as best as you can and realize that everyone's body is different. It is a drag, though, that the templates Wechsler offers are all above your range...
I use the software that came with the book, so I don't do it manually and therefore the forms don't bother me. My temp usually does run low, so it's not that I'm super concerned, just wondering if anyone else experienced this. :) Right now (because I'm new to charting) we are using barrier methods but after I see a pattern and get used to it we will rely fully on it, and hope to conceive using the method in march. :)
We used barrier methods the first 2 months after the wedding, until we felt that we understood better what we were doing. Now, it's just barrier when it's an unsafe time or I feel unsure. My cycles have been really long lately due to stress, so there's always this random week in the middle where I tell him, it looks like I ovulated, but other things are a bit less sure, so condoms for you. He respects that.
Good luck, and I hope in March/April, you have good news for all of us!
Thanks! I am very much looking forward to it! I hope FAM really helps me!
@angela2011bride: Hmm, temps that low are a bit odd....but not necessarily a cause for concern. There are potentially some outside factors that could be producing such low temperature readings. Here are some of my thoughts:
Good luck and feel free to PM me if you want.
My temperature is that low too. I've had bloodwork as well and I don't have hypothyroid.
Weird.
I just started reading that book. It's amazing. I wish that I had read it earlier. I am sick of the pill. I wouldn't have been on it so long if I had that book. It's funny. For so long I tried not to get pregnant and now I want to (sometimes).
:)
My temps are low too! I was actually going to post about this today. I take mine everyday at 7:00 and they're usually around 96.5-97.2 (on a high day) I've noticed that the later I take my temp the higher it is. So if I test at 6:30 instead of 7:00 it's around 96.3 but if I test at 10:00 it will be 98.7 or something. Maybe it's because you test early in the morning?
Thanks for the tips chelseamorning. Very helpful!
Mrshudson brought up another factor---the time you take your temperature. Your body temperature is at its lowest early in the morning and then increases as the day gets later. All this means is that you need to be consistent in the time that you take your temperature, because a 5:30 temp and a 9:00 temp will not mean the same thing.
Well, I've been charting for a full month now, and my temperature is ALL OVER the place. it's not biphasic at all and there's definitely no clear rise to pinpoint ovulation. This is why I started charting in the first place, because my cycles are irregular and I was worried getting pregnant would be difficult so I wanted to try to really get to know my body. I'm going to have an ultrasound and some more in depth testing next week, which will hopefully answer some questions. Thanks for the help though ladies.

I am new to charting and FAM. I just finished reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility, which is an AWESOME book, by the way, but I just have a question about temps. My preovulatory waking temp around 5:15am is usually between 95.2 and 95.5. Does anyone else have temps this low? I've read this could be hypothyroidism which I'm not worried about because I just had extensive blood work done, but I'm still curious if any one has temps this low. Thanks, girls!
