Confused on Temp

RzrBk310 · June 2011

I have been waking at 6:30 to temp. Well this morning I woke at 4:40 (didn't get up) but I couldn't go back to sleep so I temped at 5 (97.34). Shortly after that I did fall back asleep. I woke again at 6:30 and went ahead and temped (97.48).

I know there isn't a huge difference in the two but I'm confused on which one to use.

This happened to me a lot in the beginning. Still does occasionally. As long as I don't get out of bed and do fall back into a sound sleep I use the normal temp time and check sleep deprived.

Either way you will get an open circle. Make note of the first time/temp and circumstances in the notes so you can go back later if you need to "play" with your chart.

When that happened to me I just added the two temps together and divided it in half. Not the most accurate way of doing it but at least it gave me a number. I would place a note in the remarks box with the two temps so I could go back later and play around.

Thanks!

I would use the first one because that's when you had at least 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep

This has been happening to me this cycle too. I'm new at this so please correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that you want the temp with @ least 3 hrs of sleep behind it. So my normal temp time is 6:30, but if I wake up at 4:30, I temp then so I have a temp with 3 hrs of sleep. FF marks them with open circles. I was still able to see a temp shift and FF confirmed O. Hope this helps!
