Tracking Cycles ~ Basel Temp. Question?

Question

My basel temp spikes once a month like it should, but goes back down the next day. What do you make of this?

I usually get a little cramping and then a few days later, my basel temp spikes pretty high, but then the next day it goes right back down. Instead of a high temp. hanging around, my b*****s get very sore for about 10 days and then I get my TOM. I've read Taking Charge of Your Fertility and she makes it sound like all women have this typical low pattern, followed by a high pattern until you get TOM, but that does not happen to me. Is something wrong? Am I ovulating?

Answer 1

The Basel temp is very fickle, that's why you're supposed to take it before you get out of bed. I don't think this is unusual at all.
