Is there any point in starting temping during the TWW or should I just wait till CD 1? 

I know that a sustained higher temp can point towards pregnancy after a certain point in time, but I wouldn't have a baseline to compare to anyway as ovulation has defo already happened.

It's good to get into the habit, it'll give you some data to compare to in the next TWW, and will likely warn you when your period is coming because even though you won't have your follicular baseline, you'll likely see a big temp decrease right before you start bleeding.

Yup! Mine is around the same. That's why when I had a cold in December and my temps were in my luteal temp range but I was in the follicular phase, I knew it was basically a low grade fever, even though my temp was still below 98.6. it is crazy!
