Should I discard this outlier? Chart Stalk please!

On CD11 I babysat my sister's kids and tossed and turned all night, getting maybe about 1 hour of sleep total. Therefore, the temp I took Sat morning was definitely not an accurate BBT (let alone forgetting to take it before getting out of bed). Since all my other signs show I'm gearing up to O, I'm wondering if I should discard CD11's temp. I had previously discarded it but then after "Charting your way to Conception" suggested leaving all temps since one or two outliers don't usually skew the chart, I un-discarded it. However, since it's close to my (hopeful) O day, I don't want FF to pinpoint the wrong day. Should I discard CD11 or no?

I would. Your temp is going to be off with only 1 hour of sleep and moving around first.

You can if it will make you feel better. You've marked it as sleep deprived though. FF is usually "smart" enough to work around it.

Well that's good to know FF is smart enough to work around it. I wasn't sure since this is my first full month of charting. Thanks ladies! I'll leave it for now then.

I wouldn't, at least for now. Its an open circle and FF will most likely work around it. The only time I discarded a temp was when I had the flu and my temp was 2 degrees above normal.nbsp;If it starts messing with your crosshairs then I would maybe reconsider. nbsp;

This. Keep it for now. But if the pattern is skewed then consider tossing it. I've been in that boat before. Good luck.

Yeah that makes sense. In an ideal world we'd all be able to temp at the same time and with a full night's rest but, ah, such is life.
