BBT Charting- Can Meds Affect This?

I've had Crohn's for 21 years. I'm now 30 and TTC for over 7 months. I'm using a fertility monitor for the first time, and have gotten only several "highs" this month with no "peaks". I'm trying to chart my BBT to confirm ovulation, but my temps are all over the place with no pattern. I'm on Entocort, and wondering if corticosteroids could mask temp changes during the month.

I'd love to be able to confirm that I'm ovulating. I have very regular periods (although Entocort is causing a ton of mid cycle bleeding), and ovulated for sure during a Clomid cycle my OBGYN put me through to check my egg reserve.

Has your BBT charting been off due to meds? Thanks in advance!
