@CecilB93. Best to set a soft temping alarm or even on your fitbit for the same time each day, 7 days.  And then YES!  You can <i>TOTALLY</i> go back to sleep after / set a second alarm that may vary depending on your schedule.

@CecilB93 It works best if you take your temp at the same time every day, give or take an hour. I temp between 5 and 6am during the week, but on the weekends I obviously want to sleep in so I set an alarm, temp, then go back to sleep.

If your work schedule is really erratic, check out FF's guidance on temping with shift work. Even if your schedule isn't that crazy, it may give you insights on when to temp.

Thanks ladies! I ordered my thermometer off Amazon last night, so I'll start as soon as I get it!

@MJDsquared I haven't done digital, and MFM says it isn't necessary, but I have now realized my Wondfo OPKs aren't really reliable since they are close to positive all the time. That's why it's really important for me to temp and check CM, which also aren't that consistent. I rely heavily on FF's interpretation. I MUST temp at the same time every day because it can vary by like .5 in just half an hour!

@NYTino24 I definitely think Wondfo OPKs aren't for me. Wow! I wake up at 5:45 for work during the week and have been getting up at 6 to temp on weekends and then going back to sleep. I don't know why I feel the need to add those 15 minutes when I just go right back to sleep, so I'll probably start doing 5:45 on weekends too!
