  The word according to FF:

  Do I have to do anything special to chart my BBT when the time changes for Daylight Saving Time?

  The effect of Daylight Saving Time (DST) on your temperature is usually limited to the day of the change because you adjust quite quickly. In addition, the exact effect depends strongly on your own metabolism. Some people will see no effect at all while others will see a slight change (increase or decrease). Because in general having one temperature slightly off will not change your chart interpretation, Fertility Friend's recommendation is to record your temperature as usual without correcting it in any manner. We recommend that you keep taking the temp at the same time. If you took it at 6 in the morning before the change, then take it at 6 in the morning after the change.

  So I guess according to FF, if it does make a difference it won't be a big enough difference to matter since our bodies will adjust quickly. Thanks!
