WWYD: Temp Question

VeilSdeGTO

I need to go on an overnight retreat with my students Thursday - Friday. I will be sleeping in the same cabin with 13 other middle school girls.

I will temp Thursday morning but should I bring my BBT to temp on Friday?

I don't see why not.  Are you worried about them hearing the beeping?

If they hear the beeping, it could sound just like an alarm clock, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary to be hearing in the morning time.  Or you could always keep your finger on the button the whole time, and turn it off as soon as you hear a beep.

ETA: my work computer blocks tickers, so I don't know what CD you are on.  If you're not close to O time, then I wouldn't worry about missing one temp.  If it's even borderline close to O time, you'd better believe that I would be bringing that BBT therm with me!

Since you are already post O, I think it only matters is you want piece of mind to make sure our temps are staying up.  If you can go one day w/o temping and not have to worry about answering middle schooler questions about "why" then I would say skip the temp....

(But then again my day starting out on sh!tty note b/c I couldn't temp DS was sick all night = no sleep for me.... so I understand the temp "obsession".)

I would say to temp Friday. That way, you'll have a complete and pretty chart. I think it just helps you see the way your cycle works, if you have a temp for every day.

I would probably just leave it home.  At 9dpo, you won't likely gain anything from knowing that temp.  It is probably too early for an AF drop and you won't be testing simply because it stayed high that day.  Also, you probably will sleep like crap and the temp won't be reliable anyway.
