Taking BBT's

I have been very consistant in taking my BBT at 5:30 every morning. I set my alarm even on the weekend. However, my temps still seem to fluctuate quite a bit. So here is my question. If I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom would it be better to take my temp then or still wait until 5:30?

Example/this morning I woke up at 3 am to go to the bathroom. Should I have taken my temp at 3 am since by 5:30 I did not have 3 consecutive hrs of sleep before taking my BBT? or was I correct in waiting to take it at 5:30. Please help

I did not take my temp this weekend because we were camping and I did not sleep well either night so I just skipped it thinking it would be really off.

Thanks April.

PS how do I get the address so you can all see my chart on FF?

April,

I believe it would have been better to take the 3am temp. You're right that in order for it to be a "good" temp you need at least 3 hours sleep.

To post you FF chart:

Go to the tab "My Chart". Click on the "Home Page" button. Fill out the information on that page after you hit "Create Home Page" you should see the link listed under "Your Charting Home Page Web Address".

If you need additional help or have any questions let me know :)
