Taking my temp to get pregnant

Question

I've been taking my temp every morning so I can get pregnant, I did this when was I trying with my son and worked but I have totally forgotten how I can tell when I'm ovulating.

My temp has been pretty low for a bit now its been around 97.2, 97.3 for about 7 days now then on Sunday it was 97.6, Monday 97.3 and today 97.8, so my question is am I ovulating now? Was I ovulating on Sunday or today. I'm so confused. Please help.

Answer 1

I would start charting on fertilityfriend.com, it's free and it helps pinpoint the important days.  :)

Good luck, I am starting to try this month too.  Been charting since May.

Answer 2

If your temps STAYS at 97.8 or higher for the next few days it looks like Monday was O day.  However, until ovulation is confirmed, KEEP having s*x regularly just to cover your bases, especially if your temps fall below 97.8.

I also recommend using FertilityFriend.com.  They have a user-friendly charting program that's free.  You enter your temps and it does the rest.

Good luck!

You can also use the chart at BabyCenter.com. They show you an example/sample of a filled-in chart, and give you blank charts to download.

The site says that "three days of elevated temperatures after a spike means you've already ovulated."  You're most fertile the four or five days just before your temp rises. So, you were probably ovulating around Wednesday through Saturday.
