Charting: 18+ days of very low temps

[Anonymous]

Hi -
I successfully charted for my first PG and am now in month 3 of TTC via charting. First two months everything text book normal. This month I have not had a temp rise and my temps have been very low, like below 97. Typically I'm mid 97's and ovulate on the 14th or 15th. I am suffering from allergies. For the past 3 months I've taken my temp orally at 5:30 AM, so the time change may be a factor, but this is a very long time of very low temp for me. Based on CM and my pattern, I really think I ovulated the 14th, but I don't know why my temp would not rise at all. Today was day 18 and my temp was 97.3. What's going on? Any ideas?

Unfortunately, every cycle is different. You may just be ovulating later this cycle. If your temperature hasn't risen, then you haven't ovulated. I would keep checking your temp every morning.

Your thermometer may need a new battery. Low temps were a warning sign for me.

You could be late. I normally ovulate on day 12, but this cycle I waited till day 22. Also it's not all that weird for a normal woman to skip ovulating a cycle every once in a long while. It's happens to me about once a year.
