Temping

Mrs.Cowgirl

So DH and I decided to try to work on baby number 2 I got off BC this last cycle and I should be getting AF any day now, I didnt temp because I simply wanted to see what my cycle was like. However, my question is this, my daughter sometimes wakes in the middle of the night can I still temp? I just remember from last time that it needs to be when I wake up. So if she wakes up at 3 do I temp then or do I temp after I really wake up like at 6ish? Thanks ladies

I always temp at 5:30 because I sleep like crap and wake up numerous times at odd times.  This works the best for me in two cycles charting.  I just mark sleep deprived for the days when I am not temping after a block of sleep.

But some people get more accurate temps when they chart whenever they have a block of 2-3 hours of sleep.

Well, I you are supposed to temp after at least 3 hours of sleep, so just try to set your temping time so that you think that will be possible on most days.  My daughter usually is up for the day between 5:30 and 6:00 (ugh!), so I set my alarm to temp for 5:00.  If there is a day when she wakes up in the middle of the night, I will usually temp then, and then just note the time, so that I know if the temp is off. 

Hope that helps.  Good luck!
