Did Anyone Do the Tempature Thing?
Posted: 02-25-05 10:57am

My husband and I have been ttc for 6 months now and I am getting frustrated. This month I decided I was going to take my tempature since I knew that my periods were regular and came about every 28-29 days. From the day my period ended it was about 97.1 first thing in the morning. (i am using just a regular thermometer in the mouth) on tuesday it was 97.5 so my husband and I had sex that day and the day after. (we also had sex on sunday night) he pounched on me while I was trying to make the bed after doing the laundry) anyways I have been taking my temp since then and it has gone back down to 97.1. I read somewhere that you temp would stay up till you next period and if you were pregnant it would stay up a bit higher.
(put the pillow under the bum and stayed that way for about 1/2 hour or so)

am I just reading into things or what?

I took my temp, but I was never ttc while I did nfp. So, i'm not sure. I'm going to look into that right now.

I found this:



if conception did occur some women notice a second increase in temperatures about the time implantation occurs, 6 days after ovulation. When this happens it is called a triphasic pattern. This doesn't happen for everyone who conceives but it does happen for some.

Here's the site I found that at, but I don't know if I agree with all the info. I'm going to look around a bit more.

So my temp was 97.5 on tuesday and wednesday when we had sex. Now it is 97.1. I guess I should just watch it for the rest of my cycle and see what happens. I so what a child and my husband and friends think that I am obsessed with reading everything.

I am trying not to stress but I am 31 going on 32 in september and want to get started with the family thing

Well, it did say it could spike up like 6 days after conception or something, so you have a couple more days before that.
