Temping ladies, I have a question...
I haven't been temping like you should for bbt, but I been checking my temperature 2-3 times a day, when I've been at rest for a while, and I've been doing this for about a week and a half. It's been anywhere from 99.0-99.9, and I usually run about 98.3. Af is due in about a week. Any chance this is good sign for me conceiving this cycle? Or should I just ignore it?

You should only be taking your temperature immediately after waking up, before talking, eating, or drinking, and even before getting out of bed.
If you are taking your temps at random times during they day, you will be getting an inaccurate result. The reason you are supposed to do it in the morning after sleep is because of the inactivity, which lowers your temp to your "resting temp".
The higher temps during the day could mean anything, really. You could have moved around a bit and raised your temp, you could've drank something warm recently, or eaten something warm, you could've been wearing warmer clothes or covered up with blankets. I would say that because the method you are using could shift results, to not count on it as an indicator of pregnancy, but to at least keep that in the back of your mind as a higher temp *can* indicate pregnancy.
Good luck! I hope you get your BFP!!
