    Hey Renee

    I"m not really sure what the rocky pattern suggests. Sorry I can't help...

    Just wanted to wish you all the best though...

    Renee,

    I just looked up FF FAQ about rocky temperatures...this is what they said...

    My Temperatures are so rocky and erratic. What can be causing this? What can I do about it?

    If your temperatures are erratic, the first thing you should do is review the guidelines about taking your BBT and make sure you are using a special basal body temperature thermometer. If you are following the guidelines (taking your temperature at the same time each morning, before getting up and using a BBT thermometer) and still have erratic temperatures, the first thing to do is review your data to see what could be disturbing the temperature. You may also consider changing your thermometer or replacing the battery in your thermometer to see if this helps. You may also want to talk to a Fertility Friend guide to get her opinion about what could be causing the erratic temperatures. Some women who are unable to get a clear pattern when taking an oral temperature are able to get a clearer pattern when they take their temperature vaginally. If you have several cycles that are erratic and you are taking and recording your BBT properly, and you are unable to see an ovulation pattern, you should talk to your healthcare provider.
    I'm not sure if that helps.

    Cheers!

    Thank you so much Monnie! Im stumped too. My temps looks fine before ovulation and then after they have gone crazy. Only time will tell I guess...

    By the look of it you are using a digital thermomter which only goes to one decimal point??? Your temps might not appear so rocky if you used one which went to two decimal places as it covers even the slighest movements. It also prevents you from "flat lining". eg: 3 temps at 36.1 would produce a flat line instead of showing some slight movement if say they were 36.14, 36.17, 36.19
