I have a condition called interstitial cystitis. It basicly feels like I have a bladder infection most of the time. I do have some pain meds that help but I still have to pee a lot. At night I usually wake up every 1.5 to 2hrs to go to the bathroom so sometimes its every 45min. The instructions that came with my basal thermometer said to take my temp after at least 4 hours of sleep. I don't think I've been able to sleep that long ever. If I temp when I first wake up even if I haven't been asleep will I be able to accurately chart? I still haven't gotten AF yet but if possible I'd like to chart when she arrives.

Re: Temping question, possible TMI
Yes, you are supposed to have 4 hours of sleep. Do you get out of bed when you wake up? I sometimes wake up throughout the night, i just try to move as little as possible. I believe it ruins the temp the most when you are up walking around or awake for a long period of time. usually i am able to fall right back asleep so haven't had a problem with it..
... i mean you could at least try temping and see where it goes, but like i said TRY not to get outta bed when you wake up!
