BBT charting with a cold

Ugh. No doubt about it, I'm sick. Sore throat, stuffy, coughing, headache, sneezing... This is the first time I am charting through an illness. Things have just been crazy since last Wednesday... my roommate came home with a bad cold and I picked it up sometime over the weekend. I just know it affected my bbt charting because I had a big dip and then huge rise way too early. I'm very routine, I ovulate on the 12th or 13th cycle day always.... Antyways last night was miserable... I had a fever and couldn't get rid of this dang headache... so I finally broke down and took two Tylenol... now I'm staying home from work and watching Sitting Ducks and trying to feel better. Good thing is Friday I started taking Mucinex... it's also good for thinning out CM and I know had I not taken it I would feel worse now... I just hope I didn't give Kyle my cold!!!! I'd feel terrible! This is a really nasty bug, yesterday was the worst day so far, body aches and all. I hope to be on the upswing really soon here! how it can affect BBT depends on your cold and how you temp... if its a head cold and you are all stuffy but temp orally... it could be lower because you are mouth breathing when you sleep. if you have a bit of a fever it could raise your temp (well obviously)
