Is my temp only meant to drop when AF is close?? Confused...

Hi Renstar

My temp always used to drop 2 - 3 days before af was due. Since a had an operative hysteroscopy in Nov it now stays higher right until af arrives. I have had several hormone profiles done over the last 18mths and have never been told I have a progesterone problem. All of our bodies are very different though. I think as long as the luteal phase is around 14 days then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Good luck to ya!

Thanks girls I was just after some peace of mind with my charts and it's comforting to know that it's normal for your temps to drop a few days before AF

Charlotte - that's a great idea, i might try that this cycle.... hadn't even thought of that? It's only my 3rd cycle charting..... first 3mths ttc didn't chart but I knew when I O'd anyway. hmmm maybe I will wait til I get my coverline and then won't take my temps after that, GREAT idea.... that will take away alot of the stress of watching the temps rise up and down.... I don't think it's that stressful but I think sometimes our body is stressed by it without us even knowing

AJC - yep, my LP varies from 12-14 days.... I've been told it can vary from cycle to cycle and that's normal?

I know it will happen soon...
