It was totally the heat! I was running that low grade fever while our AC was down but have been fine since. I tend to get hot but don't sweat much- are you the same? I turn beat red exercising in the summer. I'm throwing the temping out the window for now!

I don't sweat much, either... Remind me - have you ruled out low thyroid function?

I sweat beautifully, unfortunately. And my sweat has a really high salt content--after a long run or bike ride I have salt crusts all over from dried sweat. It's very attractive! I have to work really hard to put all of the salt back in, otherwise I keel over.

Rust - I get those salt stains on my shirt, too. I agree - very attractive I'm not positive, and it doesn't really make a lot of sense, but I notice that if I get too much sun, my temp the next day will be lower than normal. ??

Sorry, Jaye, just saw this! I wonder if your dropping temps are a way to get your body to cool down after a hot day in the sun? Do you burn/tan? Wonder if that's it. I had to post this month's chart. I just got my period today which means I only had a 8 day luteal phase, but I'll blame it on progesterone. I was taking it at the start of my LP but ran out, and when my new stuff came in on time, it turns out I ordered the wrong prescription, so it took another few days for my progesterone to come. I'm taking a guess my body sensed the drop in progeterone and decided it was time to bleed. However, check out how freaking tight my temps are!!! I started a strict diet on the 23rd, seems like it took a few days for my body to figure things out, and then after ovulation, they really tightened up. I don't think they've ever been that spot on before! Attachments:

Dayum, Karen! That is a nice looking chart! I love when my temps stay tight like that. Feels like something is going right! I think you are right about my body trying to keep temps low due to the sunburn. Makes sense!

my temp has been REALLY weird lately. I'm on day 24 of my cycle, and no temp rise though I SWEAR I ovulated last week. I've also been really wacked out electrolyte-wise--pretty serious at certain points. I assume that has affected my temps, but it's still kind of scary.

I remember from TCOYF that stress can put ovulation off at the last minute. I wonder if you were starting to ovulate and showing all the signs and then the electrolyte stress ended up putting it off. It will be interesting to hear what you feel like when you ovulate next.

What's up with the electrolytes, heat and exercise? When you thought you ovulated, did you have your usual pain? My cycle (as I've realized by temping & tracking) is iron clad (to the point I'm fascinated!) but my ovulation was thrown off a few times, like when I had the HSG. It is odd what throws off a cycle and what doesn't.

It's really weird, actually. I had normal pre-ovulation pain around normal time (2 weeks ago) and then got all whacked out electrolyte-wise and my body went into a holding pattern. Then last week I was convinced, again, that I had ovulated, but I only had the pain for a day, and my temperature never rose. And now again today I'm having the weird swelling on my right side that always precedes/accompanies ovulation--I get this large swollen mass on my right side, sometimes just in the lower part, sometimes all they way from my right hip bone to my right rib. It's very painful and obvious from the outside--I can push it around and that is even more painful. I assume it's some combination of the endometrioma on that side, and adhesions stuck to the intestine, and who knows what? Anyway, it's weird.
I'm still blaming the electrolytes. I was really sick, without realizing it, but finally got to two points where I was actually vomiting water, because my electrolytes were so diluted that I couldn't drink any water.

So I've been trying to figure out my Follicular Phase temps are high-ish and came across this article. It explains specific temping issues or patterns. I don't know anything about the author, so take it with a grain of salt. www.whitelotusnaturopathic.com/basal-body-temperature-chartAn excerpt... Conditions which affect Phase 1 readings
In thyroid disorders, we will tend to see an abnormally low or high temperature reading in this phase. In the case of stress, we tend to see instability of temperature, and in the case of primary hormonal imbalance we tend to see either an increase or decrease in length of this phase. In polycystic ovarian syndrome this phase can be longer than usual, indicating insulin resistance or excess androgens(male hormones). Insufficient nutritional elements and decreases in blood circulation to the uterus can also cause this phase to be abnormally long. I also found this article... acupuncturesantacruz.net/fertility-awareness-for-women-part-3/An excerpt... When evaluating the BBT for a full menstrual cycle, take the average follicular phase temperature and subtract it from the average lutial phase temperature. This is the overall temperature change between the two phases. Ovulation and progesterone levels that are sufficient to maintain a pregnancy are reflected by a rise in temperature of at least .04 degrees, though .06 is preferable. Follicular phase temperatures are typically between 97.0 and 97.7 while lutial phase temperatures should range from about 97.7-99.0 degrees. The healthiest follicular phases are marked by relatively stable temperatures that don’t fluctuate more than .4 degrees. The key thing to look for in lutial phase temperatures is that the rise after ovulation is maintained for at least 12 days. Also, we don’t want to see temperatures drop to pre-ovulation levels until menses occurs.

Hmm, interesting - I'll have to read that a bit. What you put in the excerpts I've seen before.
So temps in your follicular phase are high? How high are we talking? And how do they compare to your luteal phase temps?
My follicluar phase temps actually dropped by .3-.4 this past week. I can't quite figure that one out...

that is interesting. I think I'm signign myself up for primary hormone imbalance , cause I can't find any pattern. I think I ovulated on day 10 this cycle, last cycle was day 15, cycle before was day 28 or so....drives me nuts.

And how do they compare to your luteal phase temps? My follicluar phase temps actually dropped by .3-.4 this past week. I can't quite figure that one out... My fp temps hang right around 98. As high as 98.4 and as low as 97.5, but that low is a rarity. Normal is supposed to be between 97 and 97.7 so I'm sorta close. My lp highs are good - right up at 99 or 98.9. I looked up hyperthyroid symptoms. I do have a high metabolism - difficult to gain weight but I have a pretty good layer of subcutaneous fat - not emaciated or anything. I've always had an anxious personality but otherwise, I don't think I have the other symptoms. I had the full thyroid panel done last year and everything was normal. So maybe I'm just a freak of nature. That's interesting about your temp drop Karen!Does it put you below "normal" (97)?
