Does sleeping with the AC on affect your BBT?

Question

My husband and I are ttc #2 I am currently 9dpo, this morning my bbt dropped almost back down to coverline (97.32) my temp. today was 97.33. This has never happened to me before, we did sleep in the AC on all night last night could that of affected it? I am positive of my ovulation day because I am using a fertility monitor as well as BBT. But i've never seen my temp. drop this drastically? Any suggestions? Thank you!

Answer 1

It did with me but only when the room was really cold when the room temp is below 60 degrees your body temp can drop too especially when your sleeping. If you are really cold to the point where you have goose bumps and shivers likely that's a sign that your body temp. is low and is trying to regulate it's temp.

Answer 2

I think it could affect your temp if you're not used to sleeping in the AC and if you were directly in front of it.  It could lower your temp slightly.  Wait until tomorrow, temp again, and see if it goes back to where you think it should be.  If it does, then the AC probably did affect your temp today.  If not, then the two weren't related.  Good luck.

Answer 3

I don't think having the AC on should affect your temps, I usually have a fan on at night and my temps usually dont drop, I am thinking the dip could be a possible implantation dip. I would wait a few days and POAS. Let us know!!

Good Luck and babydust!!

Answer 4

Yes it can effect your BBT.  You are supposed to be consistant with everything when charting your BBT.  For instance they suggest sleeping in the same room temp with the same amount of blankets, etc.  And having the same amount of sleep each time before temping.  Also things like drinking alcohol the night before can effect it.  Some women experience a dip during implantation and then it usually rises back quite quickly or some women have a 2nd surge of estrogen around 10 dpo and that can cause a drop in temperature as well.  Both of these dips can occur during a pregnancy and non-pregnancy cycle.  Just wait a few more days and then test.  Best wishes!!!
