Temping Question

in TTC After a Loss

Hello, 

I intro'd yesterday and I was able to have some of my questions answered on the newbie thread.  But I realized I had another Q about temping:

Do you temp during AF?

I finally got my second post MC AF....13 days "late."  I was looking forward to starting charting today, but the instructions that came with my BBT said not to temp during your period.  ... is that right?  What do you do?

Thanks!  And I hope everyone in Sandy's way is high and dry today :)

    It's really up to you.  Your temperatures might be more erratic during AF.  Some people like to temp just because it's habit and they don't want to get out of it.  Personally, I take a temping break during AF.  I also O later, so I can get a good stretch of temps before Oing to help FF establish the coverline.

    Good luck!

    Thanks, Alex, for the input.  I really appreciate it ... I have a lot of learning to do with charting and temping, etc.

    Like PP mentioned its up to you regarding temping during AF. I temp during AF, because I ovulate earlier in my cycle.

     Thank you...I'll probably start tomorrow, then, since this is my first cycle temping.

    I usually temp during AF because I'm a creature of habit and it's easier to just temp every morning. I also like to see all the temps on my chart and not have a big section that's empty.

    But in reality, it's completely up to you. Good luck!

    As PP said, it's totally up to you.  I personally temp during AF because I need to stay in the habit and like Jenn,  I can't stand the big hole in my chart!

    Thanks, ladies.  Sounds like temping throughout is the way to go for me.  I couldn't find out how to do the fancy hyperlink that lots of you have in your siggies, so I just copy-and-pasted the URL to my chart in my siggy.  I'll start temping tomorrow.
