Too low?

Ok So ive followed alot the last few months since starting to conceive. And i have a few concerns.


Ok so like i always knew i had a low grade tempature but when i started taking my basal I've noticed it being around 96.5 .... Could that be a hindrance.. i mean i haven't read it before is it something not touched on?


And ive noted about 4 days b4 AF that my Mucus Gets thick ... which seems awfully late. And like clockwork a week b4 AF my breasts become Extremely sore .... its like an early detection ... Nope not this month thing I don't even get to take the test.


Is there any tips besides the BBT taking that i should be doing ... or not doing in any case?

I also had low temperatures, it didnt hinder anything. The other thing I would do is use opk's. BBT is great at confirming that O happened afterwards. OPK's let you know in advance that O is coming. HTH !

I did a little research about low temperatures when I noticed mine are usually around 97. My research indicated that it's only a problem if your temps are below 96. And it didn't say that even then it was a problem for conceiving, it's jut that your temp isn't considered "low" until it's below 96.

That is awesome news i was just too afraid it might be something stupid that was stopping me from becoming pg .... as for an opk Any brand recommended? Cause it scares me to see they range from 14 dollars to 60 ..... What works and does it matter??

Also Theres an interesting tidbit my doc said my C is deep .... if she in meaning to tell me this did she mean i would have to try hard. When i was pg with my first i didn't pay enough attention i suppose (hindsight being 20/20) but i do remember it being said that it was hard to check my cervix because it was. and i know the position of it can determine... or am i in the wrong here?
