FF question

OhioUBride

I'm just starting to chart on FF...

regarding taking your temp every day - do you all do it at the same exact time very day or is it okay to just do it when you wake up - even if it's an hour later than other days?

I get up at 4:30am 3x a week to work out and the other two days I sleep in until 5:30...  should I get up, take my temp at 4:30 and go back to sleep or is it okay to just take the temp at 5:30?

What do you do on the weekends? 

I'd like to be as accurate as possible - but didn't want to get up every day at 4:30am if I don't have to!

thx!!

You need to take it at the same time or it won't be accurate.

You need to do it at the same time every day for it to show a clear pattern.  Make sure you're not getting out of bed to take it, either.  I keep my thermometer and a notepad on my nightstand, pop the therm in and write my temp down before rolling over and going back to sleep.

Instead of being lazy, read the tutorials.

Thanks for the response!  I did take my temp in bed before I got up to work out - I'll keep the pen/paper there and just get up at 4:30am - maybe it will motivate me to just get up and work out more often!

As for the "lazy" comment - I work full time and have two kids - just looking for some advice, trying to make this work...

Um, we're all busy but we took the time to figure out how it works.

I set the alarm for the same time every day, even on weekends.  I take my temp, then go back to sleep if I can.  Its really important to take it at the same time.  I try to let mine only vary by 5 to 10 minutes at most.  GL.

I just set my alarm for the same time everyday.  I usually just roll over and go back to bed after. 

I can't imagine getting up at 4:30 to work out.  I can barley get up at 6:30.

If you don't have time to read a SHORT tutorial, maybe you don't have time to raise a third child. Or, maybe you're being lazy. Your call.

take it at the same time.  Set your alarm and then go back to sleep on the days you don't have to get up at 4:30
