Is it that big of a deal if you get up, shut your alarm off, walk downstairs and then take your temp?

it's the best way to get the *most accurate* temp

Like PP said, you should not move at all, not speak, etc, just temp right away. THAT, my friend, is why i never temped when TTC #1. NBD, i just monitored CM and got PG right away. then, for #2, something was wrong with my cycles, and i temped to figure it out, and i finally got into a routine of temping and have been temping ever since.
i get up, move around, go bathroom, strip the pee-pee sheets off my DD's bed, and temp, LOL makes no difference for me, my temps are not THAT varied. Maybe they should be even closer than they are, and maybe since i have been temping and charting for a while, i can just see my pattern even with my weird temps, but that means that anyone else could do the same, unless they are the unfortunate sort whose temp goes up 2 degrees when they sit up in bed. Mine does not.
so stick with temping FIRsT thing. then get up and pee (or whatever teehee) and temp again, see how it goes, if it is very different. Just dont drink or talk too much, that will make a difference. but movement might not - test it and see!!!
