Time for my monthly chart stalker question....

meredithcarole

H and I went to the Epcot Food and Wine festival last night. I drank, but did not get drunk. I probably had the equivalent of 2.5 drinks. I fell asleep around 1:30 (normal for me) and woke up at 4:15 really having to pee. It had not quite been 3 hours, but I took my temp which was rather high (97.8 - indicative of O, which I was expecting). I had trouble falling back asleep so I think around 5:30 I finally succeeded. H woke me up when he was getting ready for work which was around 8:15 or 8:30. I took my temp again just to see since I had about 3 hours this time and it was 97.53 (which would still be a .3 jump form yesterday so likely indicative of O) and fell back asleep again. I woke up at 11 (don't judge. I don't have to work until 2:30 ) and it was 98.13.

So my question is, do you think that first temp is relatively accurate or that I at least Oed? I'm a little BDed out, frankly, but I want to give it every chance since it's the last try without medical intervention. Thoughts?

Well, I would keep the first temp indicate in the notes you drank, but you cannot of course confirm ovulation with one high temp, so keep temping and charting!  Have intercourse tonight (if you choose) in case you haven't O'd yet.

I would discard the first temp. What time do you normally temp? That's the one I'd consider, good luck

The second temp time is closer to my normal time.

I totally understand being BD'd out. I would probably record temp 2 and add additional info in the notes.  Do you use OPKs as well? Mine seem to correlate with my temps so that helps me.  

Edit: I just read your check in.  I would guess you Od.  If you can muster the energy one last BD won't hurt.

It is hard to know if the spike is O or drinking related.  I think it is fine to take today off and then if you temp is back down tomorrow you can have sex and you still will have hit EOD.  Since you have a + OPK I would guess you did O, though.

I always record the first wakeup temp--even if I disagree with it.

Thanks Ladies! I am 90% sure I did. The last spike I got from drinking was only .25 and this was more like a .7 jump. I think we will muster the energy for one more go - just in case. Thanks for your input!

@meredithcarole   delete/empty your time default to close up those circles if they bother you.  I see another jump this am so you're on your way to crosshairs!  best wishes
