I know once we have menstrual like bleeding we are in a new cycle. I have been charting a new cycle both orally and vaginally. First thing I have noticed is that my bbt is high for the follicular phase, and hasn't really dipped below CL from last cycle. I have looked back over three charts (one is from May and written down) and there is a clear pattern for folliicular and post-o temps. I took a test this morning and it is negative. It's just odd that I haven't dipped below the CL as I would when AF comes and then go lower as I bleed and enter the follicular phase with temps fluctuating from 36.1-4 and a couple of odd 5's.
I have also felt warmer than usual in bed, nothing has changed with my routine, clothes or bedroom, no medicine or alcohol. I have more pimples than usual on my face too. I stopped spotting day before yesterday (quite long for me) but have ewcm yesterday and today, also a little blood in my ewcm today too. Again this is unusual this early on esp the blood. Also since last cycle I have noticed my hunger has been impeded, I'm usually very hungry as I have my period. Could this all indicate estrogeon dominance? I had the day 21 bloods drawn last cycle and I had a good/high progesterone score so that is fine.
The other thing I have been trying to work out is if there is a basic range for normal follicular bbt when temping vaginally? My temps are obviously higher vaginally but is it normal to have 36.65-36.95 in the follicular phase? Just seems high after browsing some other charts in the follicular phase. I snore and mouth breathe so I decided to start temping vaginally. I'm just a bit worried that everything seems off this cycle so far. Also worried that temps being high will harm the follicles.
Thanks,
