So I tried later after I went back to sleep for 3 hours but I didn?t sleep very soundly so I figured that was not an accurate reading either. Now my plan is to set an alarm for 4:30 which is working fine but I am getting temps like 96.21. Before it was always around 97.93 (when i did it at 5am and 8am).

Is this too weird. Should I not take it this early, I go to bed around 12ish.

I wouldn't say that's too low.  It could just be normal for you.  The other ones could have been higher because you were moving around or not sleeping soundly.  Just stay consistent and see what happens,

IMHO, take your temp at 5am, when your hubs wakes up, before talking or moving too much.  It takes 2 minutes and then you know its accurate.

My alarm is set for 5:30, even on weekends, I just go back to sleep.

I think that should be ok - as long as you're getting a solid block of 3-4 hours of sleep before you temp. Your 5am and 8am temps were probably raised because of your waking and then poor sleep afterwards. I usually have low temps too, so 96.2 is nothing to worry about. GL!

That is pretty typical for me. I asked about that a while go because I was getting temps at like 96.09 and such. I take my temp at 5 right after my DH's alarm goes off. He still has about 15 minutes before he comes up and starts to say goodbye. So I don't have to worry about moving too much. Plus if my DH's alarm wakes me up (his goes off at 4:45) I am only temping about 15 minutes early and it won't have a huge effect on my temp!

I've had temps in the 95 degree range. There isn't a set "standard." It's just what your body is.

I tend to have fairly low temps as well so I wouldn't worry to much about that.  Your higher temps were likely due to getting up and walking around etc. 

I have my alarm set for 5:30 everyday (even weekends) if I'm not getting up I just go back to sleep after I take my temp.

GL!
