TTC After a Loss

Drinking & temping

I said I was going to stop drinking once AF was over so alcohol wouldn't mess up my temps, but I've had so much stress in my life I let myself have ONE beer with dinner a few more times.

Interestingly, if you look at my chart, every time my temp spiked up to 97.9, I had had one beer the night before:

It doesn't really matter, because we are not trying to time FWP this cycle, but it's funny how one drink affects me so much. I also wake up with a headache the next day after one drink! Tonight we're going out for my friend's bday and I know there will be more than one drink involved... I'm going to be hurting tomorrow. I'm getting old!?

Re: Drinking & temping

  • I hear you.  I can't drink like I used to.  Now I have 2 beers and wake up hungover.  I just started charting this month and I had 2 green beers on Saturday since everyone was celebrating St. Patty's day and my temp was the highest it has been my entire cycle the next morning.

  • your temperatures must be senstitive.  I have to drink 3-4 drinks for it to affect mine.

  • I will have to look at my chart and see if i have any fluctuation but I don't think so.  i typically have a glass of wine a few nights a week with dinner and usually drink at least once during the weekend.

    just looked at my chart....my temps go up and go down after i drink so i guess it doesn't affect my temp that much.
  • I hear you.  I can't believe I have to get back to the grind of that stupid purple thermometer every day at 5:45 again.  And I have to think about what my behaviour is going to do to my temps yet again.  I say F it.  I'm thinking about having a drink right now and it's only 2pm.  Temps be damned.
