I know this may be a dumb question but when you BD before you go to bed but it is technically anytime after 12:00AM what do you chart? Do you put that you BD'd PM of the day you just finished or AM of the next day?
How do I record intercourse that takes place in the night?
There are a few options for recording intercourse data. You can use any one
of them, as long as you are consistent.
You can go by a 24 hour clock and record any intercourse that occurs before
midnight for the previous day and any later intercourse for the following
day.
You can record any intercourse that occurs once you are in bed for the
night for the following day. This method is the most natural since you don't
have to go back to the previous day's data when entering information in the
morning. It is often more accurate as well since the intercourse data entry is more
relevant to the following morning's temperature than the previous one.
You can use the AM/PM options on the data entry page to indicate when intercourse
took place.
What I like to do is, from the time I temp to noon is AM. From Noon till i temp again is PM. So not that long for AM, but we're boring and only do it either in the morning before getting out of bed or at night before going to bed.

for me and example is if it's Thurs before I go to sleep for the night but still after midnight technically the next day I just put an x on Thurs and make a note that it was after midnight. Not sure if that's the most accurate way to do it. I often wonder about this too because we don't usually bd until super late (often around midnight) or first thing in the am if it's a weekend.

If Monday I woke up and was still awake after 12am (does not happen often) and we BD, I would mark it Monday.
