Just started temping and have a question
| Thu, 07-23-2009 - 8:49pm |
Hi everyone, I just started temping two days ago. The first day, I didn't set an alarm or anything because I have been able to sleep in lately, and I woke up at 8:30 am and took my temp. I figured I need to take it at the exact same time everyday, so I set my alarm for 8:30, but I woke up a little before 7 and tossed and turned for a bit (but I didn't get out of bed or even sit up) and then took my temp at 8:30. The first day (CD7), my temp was 98.4 and CD8 was 98.5. These temps seem high compared to what other people have around this time, so I am concerned that I need to set an alarm for earlier in the morning to get my true BBT. My question is, should I start taking it at 6 or 7am in the middle of this cycle? Or should I try to go with 8:30 until the next cycle and then change the time?

I think as long as you've had 3 hours of consecutive sleep, the actual time isn't as important.
