Re: ovuation? spike in temp, or dip?

Hi! Yeah, I use a bbt thermometer. I just didn't include all the .##'s in my
message. Even considering that, I still jump at least a degree or fall a
degree (sometimes less sometimes more) several times during the month. I
have been tracking my cm also and sporadically I have clear or egg white w/
water consistentcy. I can just be sitting there and it's like someone poured
water out from down there. It's never stretchy like what other people have
talked about. Could it be fluid from cysts dissolving or something. My
body's just retarded I guess.
Thanks!
Kristen
