Confused by temps...thoughts pls?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

So, this is a new one. This weekend has been a bit crazy since DD came down with the stomach bug on Friday evening. It was luckily short lived, but I didn't sleep much at all Fri night after being up with her and so I didn't temp on Sat morning, mainly because I honestly forgot to when I did get up but I also knew my temp would be a mess. I did pee on OPKs twice, and both were negative. 

Yesterday afternoon/evening I started feeling a little off...spare you the details, but I think I got a mild version of the bug. I was up till after 2 am and finally fell asleep. Woke up around 6 and temped...my temp was 97.71, which I attributed to being up and not feeling so well. Fine, but I temped again a little while later just for the hell of it (after getting up to pee, etc) and it was 97.34! 

I'm just really confused as to why it would be so much lower after getting up. I'm pretty sure I didn't O, between having had all neg OPKs up to now and the factors that would cause that big spike, but that's a big difference....Any thoughts on what could cause my temp to drop that much after getting up? Could being a little sick and lack of sleep cause a big spike just at wake up? I would think my temp would be elevated overall.

Sorry this is somewhat lengthy -- hope it's not worthy of a tl;dr!! Wink

    What do you mean by "etc"? If you brushed your teeth or had something to drink that could give you a lower temperature.

    Hmmm...I didn't brush my teeth, but I did take a sip or two of room temp water I had by my bed...forgot about that. Maybe that is why. Thanks for the input!

    I would say just see what the next few days bring temp-wise. I know that is not super helpful, however you are looking for an overall pattern, not day-to-day temps.

    This is true. Hopefully my temp will be back down tomorrow and this will all be moot.

    If you drank water, that would totally do it. I've temped after drinking water (just to see) later in a day, and had a substantially lower temperature. Water is usually around 60-70ish degrees (room temp), so that will mess with your mouth's temperature. 

     Hope you feel better soon!

    Thanks!! I'm sure now drinking the water is why. And we're both much better....seems like it was a milder, 12-hr bug. Better than the day and a half of agony DH & I both suffered through last year. The stomach flu is seriously evil!
