question about drinking and temping
So I had a few drinks last night and my temp was higher this morning than usual. I blame it on the drinks, especially since I had a - opk yesterday and it's a little early for me to O.
I have a couple of questions about this: 1. Does marking "drinking" on your chart keep FF from counting it as a temp shift? 2. Do I mark drinking for today or yesterday ? (since it was last night.)
The only reason I'm really even worried about this is that there will be wedding festivities for the next 3 nights and I will be drinking those nights too (not a lot, but some 
and I should be Oing soon and I am worried about my temp shift getting masked.

Re: question about drinking and temping
I don't think marking drinking counts it as anything.
It is your choice whether to mark the day you drank or the morning after. Just stay consistent.
Oh, and if you O while drinking, your post O temp will just be that much higher, you'll still see the shift.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
You will mark drinking today, since it is today's temp that is affected (I checked this out with FF a few cycles ago and that's what they said to do).
Your temp is not significantly higher today so drinking may not have affected you as much as you think. For me it's hit or miss. Sometimes it gives me a crazy high temp and other times it doesn't. I don't know (but will now be checking) whether marking the drinking box affects your CHs. I let you know what I find out.
This could definitely happen, unfortunately. I also had a weekend of wedding celebrations last cycle when I O'd and it was really hard to tell the exact timing. Just have sex with your husband as much as possible and try using OPKs to pinpoint. You could also change the FF settings to detect O by OPKs instead of temps. Have a fun weekend!
I mark both!
Blame it on the aaaaaalcohol, blame it on the vodka, blame it on the heni! LOL
You should check the drinking box for today, as that is the temp it could possibly affect.
Drinking checkbox alone will not trigger an open circle, but is something to be aware of. It may or may not affect your temps, its different for everyone and the amount of drinking.
I like to mark it so that in a few days I can see if it was O or not, and then potentially see the data change if I discard that as an outlier.
The more you document in FF, the better for you and for the system to do some thinking for you!
