BBT time question

CashewsMommy

My normal temp time is 5:30am. But I forgot about the 5am phone calls that I can get with my job. So like today, I was kind of scared awake at 5am. Not happy!!!

Do you think next cycle I should change times? They do not happen that often, but can still happen.

Also, my temp this morning was a lot higher than normal, (even though its been all over this cycle) Does being scared awake maybe tamper that? Cause seriously! I was quite scared for about 30 seconds trying to figure out why the hell my phone was ringing so ealry this morning.

Sorry if this is all jumbled. Bumping from my phone from bed. so that'd be a post and run for me cause I be going back to sleep!

I've been having dreams the past few nights that I was late w/my temp lol.  I also am thinking of switching my time to an earlier one next cycle b/c DH's work schedule changed so I get startled with his alarm clock.  All but one day I went back to sleep, but stressing about it is so annoying.

I think a 30 minute time difference, though it will create an open circle on your chart, isn't that big of a deal. Said another way, I'm not sure it would be worth it to me to wake up 30 minutes earlier every day. 

I can't offer much in the way of advice on the being scare awake, thing, though!  I have to admit, I giggled a little bit on that one.  Today my alarm went off in the middle of a dream where I was really mad at my dog for peeing in the house.  My temp was nearly as high as what I normally get post-O!  Who knows!

Hmmm I would say that 5am vs 530 is no big deal and wouldn't change the time.  But I think there might be something to this "scared awake" theory...

I think it will depend on your body, and how much of a thermal shift you normally get at O time.  If your temp variation is less than what your thermal shift would normally be, then I'd say you're fine not changing your temping time.

I was worried about my chart this month because I started a new job mid-cycle, so my temping times have been all over the board (as has my temp).  I still have a very distinct thermal shift, though, so I'm not worried about the open circles/changes in temping times.  HTH!

I think we all need to check out this theory! We can start our own little research project.

Actually. I just noticed that it didn't even create an open circle for that 30 minute difference! Sweet.

I think that 30 minutes does make a difference, but usually it would be lower, right? 

Did you take your temp after talking on the phone? That could be reason for the jump too. 

Of course I'll be stalking to see what it does tomorrow!

 

Edit: Strike the "usually it would be lower."  I put in your temps//times and it went up!

 

PS I LOVE YOU!

Thanks Patience! Luckily my 5am phone calls involve no talking, they changed the line to automated and it only involves me listening and pushing a few buttons. I was p*ssed this morning too!! I went to accept the job, and they told me that someone else already accepted it. Damn automated. But i was temping and listening at the same time.

And the adjuster made it go up .10 a point. I think i'll keep it the same.
