Low Temps

[Katiegirl]

Hi all. I have only just started charting - this is my second cycle. I seem to have quite a low temp - the crosshair on BB puts it around 36.1. Last cycle it was around 36.3. If my temps are low, does this mean anything or does it not matter too much? I have no idea about all of this!

Katiegirl, temperature charting is about the changes and patterns in your individual body temperature. Some people just run naturally hotter or colder than others.

That said, low temperatures can indicate a possible thyroid problem, or it may just be nothing at all.

When I first started temperature charting over a year ago, I'd often get temperatures around the low end of 36.something. Now, after a year of acupuncture treatment and having medications which can actually make me ovulate, my temperatures are much more normal. High end of 36.something before ovulation, and very high, bordering on 37.0 after ovulation now. Are natural therapies an option for you?

Thanks Butterfly. I am seeing a naturopath and kinesiologist. They have me taking kelp tablets to help with my thyroid, so maybe i will start to see a difference. I have only been taking them about 2 weeks and yesterday they upped the dose from 1 to 2 tablets per day. Will thyroid issues make a difference with falling pregnant?
