:hello: Ladies
I've just ordered a BBT thermomitter and I'm wondering when is it best to start temping? I'm already half way through this cycle and I think I'm Oing at the moment. Can I still start when it arrives or should I just wait untill next cycle?
I've never charted before so I'm a begginer at this.
probably best to wait till AF starts again or u can from now but u would have to know wat day u are up to
There's no harm in starting as soon as it arrives, but you won't be able to tell much because any temp changes due to O would have already been detected. I personally would start ASAP just to get in the routine of temping every morning ;)

That's what I thought. I know what CD I am. I'm on Clomid so I've been keeping track. I'm currently CD19.

I'll get started asap. I'm guessing it will take about a week to get here??? Gosh the things we do huh?
I would start when you get it also even know I don't think it will tell you much until you have been charting for a whole cycle. At least if AF arrives when your charting this cycle (praying for you it doesn't arrive as your pregnant) you will have it to compare to your next cycle if need be just for those last few days leading to AF. My temp also's dips the morning AF arrives so as soon as I know my temp is down, surf board goes on (pad) and sure enough AF arrives within a few minutes/hour. Some peoples gradually drops over a few days whilst others dont drop until after AF has arrived. It will also tell you for next cycle what your temp is after ovulation so when you start tempting at the start of your cycle you should know what your temps have been in the luteal phase (O-AF)
It will be very interesting and educational that's for sure.
I ordered mine online & it arrived within two days, so you never know ;)
