I am 31 so I guess I am supposed to wait 6 months. That just seems soooo loooong!!

My charts look pretty good, I think. My cycle is generally 26 to 28 days. I ovulate (a rise in temperature) almost always on day 14. So my luteal phase is anywhere between 11 and 14 days. My main concern is that my temperature only goes up about .3 degrees when I ovulate (from about 97.8 to 98.1). There is not much change there. It is obvious that I have ovulated though because it stays above 98 (barely) during my luteal phase. I am worried that my progesterone levels are not high enough during the luteal phase because of the minimal rise in temp.

Thank You. Melissa
