I've been charting for about four months and haven't had very consistent
results with my bbt--but I think I'm finally starting to see a pattern.
My temps are crazy during my period, then I have a dip, then an increase
of about .5 degree and then they go crazy again. They never get higher
than 98.0 or lower than 96.9.
My advice is to not try too hard to interpret a sinlge month, but to
chart for a few months to see if a pattern emmerges. Use your CM and
OPKs to try to predict ovulation.
Good luck!
