Need Help with today's temp reading

Happy Friday Ladies !!!!!!

This is my first month charting, and I'm not sure about this mornings temp - here's what happened -

I take my temp at 6:15am every morning. As it's still dark, and that is not when I wake up and it's still dark, I rely on the memory feature on my themometer to look at my temp at about 8:00 - 8:30 when I awake.

I checked the temp when I woke up and I THOUGHT it read 96.9. After showering, etc. I double checked it before inputing and the memory now read 98.6.

I checked my temp again, figuring since I'd been moving around for about 1/2 hour, it would increase, and then I'd be able to determine which was the correct temp. I measured at 97.0...

So, is my assumption correct that it must have been 96.9 originally, or am I off base. I'm nearing my O date, so I'm real worried about having an incorrect temp!! I am using OPK this month, but I'm also dieting and drinking a gon of water, so it's so hard to hold my pee-pee for 3 hours. I used OPK once before, and never got a +. Although, I was real inconsistent with times, etc, and even missed one full day.

I'll post my chart below in case that helps!! I'm so angry that I messed up the temps right around O time .... AHHHHHHHH!!!

Any help is appreciated : )

Honestly, I would wait until tomorrow to decide. If the temp is low it is most likely the 96.9 but if your temp is really high it is probably the other. I bet it is really the lower one and you are ok but just to be sure I would see what tomorrow brings.
