Temping Fail (ds mentioned)

MeganS313

Against my original decision NOT to temp, I decided to give it a whirl.  My first and second post loss cycles were EXACTLY the same as before loss.  27 days, ovulated around day 13 perfect.  Last month, I didn't get a positive OPK until CD 15 and had a 30 day cycle.  So, I decided to bite the bullet and temp.

I bought a Mabis *which is great* and had it all ready to go for CD 5 since I'd just stopped bleeding.  Voila, I manage to snooze my alarm for 45 minutes and then leap out of bed b/c I have to be at work in less than 1 hour and DS woke us up over the monitor.  No temping for me that day

CD 8 comes a long and I don't temp again b/c DS has been playing with my BBT the night before and now it is NOWHERE to be found!  We finally find it the next day in the entertainment center behind DVD's.   

So I think it's probably good we are still TTA so I can get the hang of temping, b/c I'm pretty sure this cycle is a loss!!

Again, we are TTA so I'm just trying to get a feel for it and learn, but would you put in a dummy temp for the day I missed (CD8)?  Or leave it alone with dotted lines?  I still haven't had a positive OPK so I don't  think it will affect CH's

As I understand, one temp outside the FW does not much affect your chart.  Just contniue on.

I'd leave it out too. You'll gain enough info from your other days. Don't stress about temping, it will become second nature in no time. I also had issues with DD moving my BBT, so after I record my time when I get up, I put it up on the dresser and try to remember to move it to my nightstand in the morning.
