Trying to Get Pregnant

Temping with toddler Q?

My DD lately has been waking up at 3am(+/-an hour) and 5am(ditto) through the night.  It's hard to guarantee either 3 hrs of sleep or taking it at the same time.  But... It drove me crazy to rely on OPKs and ultrasound last month. Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it better to temp at the same time (5am), or the first time she wakes up (2-4ish)?

  • What time are you going to bed at night?

    Personally, I'd set my alarm for like, 1am, temp and go back to sleep. There's no guarantee she'll continue to get up at the same times everyday...

  • First time she wakes up.  I'm an insomniac and never sleep consistently, but I'm usually guaranteed to get at least three hours by the first time I wake up, so that's when I take my temp.  It might be anywhere from 2-5 am when I take my temp, but I just mark N/A in FF so I don't get open circles and I'm still always able to see a very clear temp shift at O.

  • I'm a scheduled person so temping at the same time every day is easier for me.  I never remember to temp if I wake up randomly.  I know this might throw things off but I'm taking that into account.

    Thank you for the answers!  It seems like 3hrs is the consensus, so I'll try 2am this cycle.

  • I was having the same issue. For me it's better if I temp after my longest sleep than at the same time, so if DS wakes at 2 or 3 I temp then.

  • I have no advice, but I have the same issue.  Neither one of my kids sleeps consistently so I have decided to not temp (for now).  Good luck!

  • I have a 13 month old and he's been getting me up about once a night lately since molars are getting ready to show. I temp whenever I wake up in the morning and set my default time on FF so that I don't get an open circle every single day. Despite temping at different times and being up during the night, I can still see a trend on my charts and pinpoint O. I know that's probably not the case for everyone, but it's been working OK for me.
