Temping Question

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Hey Ladies temping question for you.

Last night might have been the most interrupted night of sleep I've gotten. I take my temp whenever I wake up without looking at the clock and this is what ended up happening last night (my normal temp time is 5:45):

10-12:30am - 97.70

12:30-3am - 97.43

3-5am - 97.41

5-6:30am - 97.73

Would you even both recording a temp? If so what would you use?

I'd probably go with the temp I liked the best honestly. Ha! I wouldn't worry too much about it. Especially in the LP, missing a temp doesn't really matter much.

Hahaha @chloe97 that's exactly what I did before I asked for advice. My thought process was the higher the better! So 97.7 it is!

@soontobemommahowe i usually take the one I like the best depending on where I am in my cycle, too lol
But there is a site I use to adjust your temp based on when you wake up and take it vs when you usually temp:

It is usually close to my reg temp when I adjust it, but I always make a note of the temps I took in FF just in case I have to play with them.

+1 to using the temp I like best lol. Honestly I would probably discard it or make a note of the temps to see what makes sense in a few days.

Thanks guys! I noted what I had for temps in FF and ended up putting in an average of all four temps. I know this temp doesn't really matter but I'm nervous for the next cpl of days be in the last two cycles I get a big rise on 5dpo and then a slow decline until AF so I'm thinking I'll know by 6-7dpo if this is the cycle or not

Haha I am with @chloe97, I would take the one I liked the best

I'd take the one from 3-5, maybe 12:30-3. They are the longest periods of sleep and closest to your usual waking time. The other two are likely influenced by less sleep and/or too far away from your usual time. I agree with the others though, that I wouldn't worry too much about it. This is where I usually use the notes section in FF in case a temp makes more sense in hindsight.
