Hi Jennifer!

Charting can be difficult to interpret and understand at first. I have been doing it on and off for over 15 years and my cycles constantly surprise me. Thankfully I am pregnant now so I can hide my thermometer for awhile! One thing that really helped me out was the book (and it's the most highly recommended book on the OBGYN.net forums!) "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. Your questions in the paragraph above are covered in this book in easy to understand terms with lots of illustrations and sample charts for examples of the many variations in the menstrual cycle.

Personally I have never had a doc ask for more than 3 charts to review (and this is from several docs from MI to CA). Not saying that there aren't physicians who want to see more charts, just that I haven't run into any. :)

There is a section in the book, Appendix A "Temperatures Rise One-Tenth Degree at a Time (Slow Rise Pattern)" which looks like what you are describing.

Check the book out at your local library or you can purchase it for around $22.00 US.

Good Luck to you!
