Which Temp Should I Use?

Normally I temp at 5:30 am, but this morning I woke up at 3:30 and really needed to use the bathroom.  Knowing it wouldn't be a full 3 hours before I would temp at 5:30, I temped before I got up to use the bathroom - temp was 96.5.  That is a very low temp for me.  I decided to temp again at 5:30 just to see if it would be close to the one from earlier, and it was 96.93.  Ugh!  Which one to use?

I would use the 5:30am one.  I just looked at your chart and I think the 96.9 seems to fit the pattern.

You'll get an open circle for either one. If you pick the early one, mark the time and FF will give you an open circle. If you pick the late one and mark sleep deprived because you didn't have 3 full hours of sleep FF will give you an open circle. I don't think it matters, because neither one is going to make a big difference in your chart. I'd pick the first one and mark the time.

use the first...it will give you an open circle but it's more accurate than the one you took later. You always want to use your waking temp after a min of 3 hours.

Use the first one and then make a note of the situation with your 5:30am temp.
