Everythgin: Absolutely everything seems to affect bbt, they are notoriously difficult to do. Suggest always take BBT with a BBT thermometer, first thing in the morning, same time of day, before you get out of bed. Good luck.

No: The room temperature does not affect the temperature inside your body. Try using a home ovulation kit. This is much more reliable than body temperatures.
