TTC After a Loss

Cat wakes me up every morning. How do i temp?

Ok ladies...after disappointingly getting AF yesterday I decided to order Taking Charge of your Fertility, ovulation strips and a basal thermometer so I'd be armed and prepared for next cycle.

My question is my dang cat wakes me up EVERY single morning between 5-7am very obnoxiously by clawing at the blinds. I wake up pissed and end up throwing her and throw her outside and going back to bed. Usually by then I only have 1-2 hours max left of sleep before i have to get up.

Do I  test as soon as she wakes me up and try to wait to throw her outside or wait until I fall asleep and wake up again 1-2 hours later? This will be my first time attempting to temp and want to give it my best shot.

The best answer it to get rid of the dang cat but I just can't do it...any thoughts?

  • You should temp at the same time every morning and after at least 4 hours consistent sleeping.  I would suggest setting your alarm and taking your temp around 5 if your cat gets you up that early.  GL!

  • My cat also gets me up early - usually around 5:45, so that's when I temp. Then I might go back to sleep, or get up and get ready for the day.  You want to take your temp more or less at the same time each day to really get a good sense of what's going on.
