I have multiple times in cycles where my temps flatline. I think I went four or five days one time, and last cycle just after ovulation my temps flatlined. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Next cycle I'm thinking about buying a new bbt thermometer and see if that helps, maybe you might do that too?
Praying for a positive opk for you soon!

Good idea! Maybe I need a BBT thermometer. I've been using a regular one. Doctor said it's sufficient, but I'm wondering if it's sensitive enough.

Oh I would definitely get a bbt thermometer, they are more sensitive and with bbt it only changes by .01 sometimes. I got a cheapie at Walmart but you can find them almost anywhere!

Well when I first got a thermometer, it was actually because my daughter was sick and the old one broke. So I bought two cheapie ones from Walmart. A regular one, and a BBT one. Well the BBT one said "Err" on it the first time I turned it on. It was already broken! And I just never got around to returning it or getting a new one. That is going on my to-do list for sure!!

I know cvs has some good ones too. The one I use right now might actually be from Target. It is white and pink and I like it because it beeps when it's done, where the one I got at cvs doesn't. If I have to keep going more cycles I think I might splurge on the one I saw at cvs that was also back-lit, that would help a ton!

Just checked, the one I've been using is from Target.

Good point! The backlight would help. I hate it when it's so dark and I'm half asleep. Luckily the thermometer I have shows the last temp taken when you first turn it on, so I can double-check it when I fully wake up!

That's what I do right now too. I take it, don't bother trying to read it, go back to sleep and read it when I get up.
