I need some help with the charting thing? I'm really confused.

Past five days I've been taking my temps at the same time, 5:20am before work. But today I had off so I took it at 9am. All my other temps from 5:20 were 96.41-96.86 but today it was 97.34. Is it so much higher because I took it later, even though it was first thing when I woke up? I took a opk yesterday and this morning but they were all negative. Can someone explain this to me? I'm still trying to figure it out. And also any other TTC tips or secrets you could share would be wonderful, thank you!

    You must be in the gang first

    Do you have a link to your chart?

    It could be from temping later, but it could be for a lot of other things too.  If you wake up at wildly different times during the week then I would set an alarm even on your days off.  Wake up, temp, go back to sleep, and you can check it and enter it into FF when you actually get up.

    I hope this works...that link is supposed to be my chart. I've only been doing this for 5 days now, so there's not much on there. I'm still trying to get into the hang of things.

    I've noticed in the past anytime I take my temp later it's always higher. I don't set an alarm I wake up on my own every time and I take my temps at different times. Yeah I know I do it wrong but I've always seen a clear shift on my charts. My charts aren't pretty but they give me the info I need.

    If that's your chart that I see I wouldn't worry about it until you have a lot more temps. My charts look funky in the beginning but after I O they start showing a pattern.
    Fucking bump!!!!

    Aha, so that's how I do it. Cool!

    Thanks guys! It really is just confusing, and I did figure with the short amount of time I've been doing it it would be hard to tell. But I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. I have a rotation so 5 days out of the week I'll be up at 5:20ish and the other 2 days I'll be up around 9am. So I don't know, I'm gonna keep charting and see how it goes. One more question though, if y'all don't mind. The opks, do I take one every day on cycle day 1 or...? Thanks!
