Temperatures, can't tie a string to them
Mama0209
Good morning ladies!
I'm new here! In June 2016, we decided to go for a second baby. I thought I'd plan it out properly! Stupid thinking, obviously. I expected to get pregnant quickly again within a month, like with my daughter who is now 3. So the disappointment is even greater.
My colleague advised me to start tracking my basal body temperature. Since then, I've been pretty dedicated to temping. I did start a bit late though, about 7 days after my first period. I also have to say that I've been taking my temperature 4 days around 8:00 AM and 3 days around 6:00 AM. After looking at a lot of charts, I can't make much sense of mine. Maybe you can? Thanks in advance!
Greetings!

mama0209, it's best to start tracking your temperatures from day 1 of your last period and always at the same time. If you measure at different times, you won't get a clear picture. So, I'd consider this chart lost and, if you're not pregnant right now, start again from CD1 with the next cycle, measuring at the same times. That way, you'll get a good picture. Wishing you lots of success and hoping you get pregnant soon
