Why are my temps still low?

[OJosMom]

CD20 today. Lately O is has been around CD17-18 and my u/s last week showed that would be case again this time. Then I got the flu and had a fever leading in to those days, which could account for some delay I'm sure. However I had my O pain on Sunday so I fully expected a temp rise after that. I also dried up completely. I'm confused as to why these signs would be so far off now. Any thoughts?

Could the dry up be from medications for the cold? Can you call your IUI doc or nurse and ask?

I was wondering if you not feeling well has something to do with it. Hopefully you can get some answers soon.

Well I finally got a temp rise today. I called and asked the nurse whether she thought O was Sunday, yesterday, or not at all. She thinks it was Sunday (which was my initial thought) and said it isn't uncommon for temps to stay low for a day or two after O, even though it's not common for me (and I had never heard of it!). My biggest concern was that I was told to start progesterone at 3dpo so now I can do that on time. My gut tells me that I geared up for O and it didn't happen, so we'll see how the next two weeks go. Fingers are crossed!

BTW, I entered in high temps for the next week and ff never gave me crosshairs. So, I had to override and put them in myself. Grrr.

Yay! Glad you got your temp rise. Now we can be in the 2ww together!

Cool Rachel! When was O for you?

[rachelandtyke]

I think it was the 20 or 21. I'm counting it as the 21, so I'm 6dpo.

Lisa: very nice temp rise!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Eh...I ALWAYS go to 97.6 after O. Look at my previous chart and it's nearly identical! So, it doesn't mean anything yet, but at least its the rise I was looking for!
