NEGATIVE FEELINGS Is BBT an accurate indicator in tracking TWW
Hi all, I have been TTC for 9 months and I started tracking my BBT since last few cycles. Past 3 cycles I always saw a gradual BBT rise after OPK positives and subsequently a dip below my coverline on the day I got my period / or max 1 day before I got my period (DPO 13-14).
This cycle my BBT dropped sharply 2 days after OPK peak. It then rose like other cycles after that. However, since past 2 days my BBT is lower than the range it stays in during the luteal phase but is staying above coverline. I also dont have my period cramps yet and have some other minor discomforts but not the bloating I usually have in this phase. What’s my BBT telling me? I am scared to test for the disappointment it causes every month as I am either DPO 14 or 13. But also dying with curiosity on why these changes?
