What is your recycle time and what sample? It sounds like you are not waiting
long enough between scans/experiments. For this type of callibration you
really do need to wait at least 7 * T1. If it is a simpe water based sample D0
= 30 s may be acceptable but for a degassed chloroform or acetone sample
several minutes will be needed.

Hope this helps,
