Temping & sleep issues
Juicy71

I have finally started temping and suddenly now my sleep patterns are all over the place!! I can generally count on sleeping until 6:30 so that is when I've set my alarm for temping. So far, I've woken up at 6:30, 5:25, 4:30 and 5:12. It's driving me nuts! I don't think I'm stressing about temping but maybe that's it.
Also, my temps seem really low (except for the one from my 4:30 wake up as I tossed and turned for a while before I took temp and it spiked). I thought I'd already O'd but my temps are so low (In the 96.4 range) I don't know how it would be possible. Has anyone used the Walgreens BBT - that's the one I have (it's pink). Any particular BBT that is preferred? I think I saw someone mentioned that Walmart's might be good.
Btw, DH caught me bumping last night and said "are you actually looking at a website called Bump?" I said "It's THE Bump and yes, this is how I deal with my crazy obsessiveness to keep from making you deal with it!" He just laughed and rolled his eyes.

Re: Temping & sleep issues
I have the same problems with temping and wake up times. I try to temp as close as possible to the same time every day, even if that means that I haven't had 3 hours of sleep beforehand. You won't know until you have several cycles of charting just how much that affects your temp.
Same is true for knowing when you ovulated. I only see 4 temps on your chart - when/why do you think ovulated?
This. I don't think you have enough data in your chart to determine anything at this point.
As for your sleeping, it varies from person to person. I never STTN, but it doesn't really make a difference in my chart. As long as I don't get out of bed, I just temp around the same time every morning. It takes a few cycles of temping to figure out what your body is doing and how your temperature reacts to different sleeping patterns.
It's purely just a guess based on other factors. I know I can't know for sure without the temps but just based on CM and bloating symptoms and what I was pretty sure felt like O pain. So, just guessing.
Oh, and I thought it was last Thursday, just by the symptoms.
I know there's a lot to learn and I am currently awaiting my copy of TCOYF to show up (should arrive today!). Also, if we don't somehow get really lucky this month I'll order the OPK sticks as well.
