BBT question
I've started tracking my BBT, as soon as I wake up. Today it's 36.2 C, yesterday 36.4. I know it fluctuates during the day (it does rise to 37 if I've been moving around a lot!), but I'm wondering if this is too low? Not specifically in a ttc way but also in a general way! It seems strange that I'm tucked up in bed but so cold?

It's just cold first thing as you aren't moving about as much so your body is generating less heat. Plus remember a lot of people sleep with their mouth partly open, and that might reduce your temp a little bit. I know this used to throw my temp off so I now take my temp vaginally. The entertaining thing about this is that I can only just hear the beep from the thermometer from under the duvet in the morning, so I have to turn the radio right down!
