Tempting question
MrsGreen92014

Ok I'm a little confused still with the whole tempting thing.
I'm currently tempting orally, and I understand it works best after 3 hours of continuous sleep.
I don't sleep solidly for 3 hours lately.
So first question is how badly will tempting after 2 hours mess up my chart?
Second do I need to be sleeping the same 3 hours for best results tempting vaginaly?

Regardless of method (oral or vaginal), temping the same time each day after at least 3hrs of continuous sleep is the ideal. Vaginal temping may offer more consistent results because other factors (mouth breathing, etc) can affect oral temps.MrsGreen92014 said:Ok I'm a little confused still with the whole tempting thing.

That said, I temp vaginally but have had a very erratic sleeping pattern and temping times since I started temping so my charts are hot messes. But the closer you can follow the ideal guidelines, the more accurate your data should be. - Loading the player...

Not sure about the first question. As for your second question, I know there are some ladies who don't chart at the same time every day and still see a shift. I personally just set an alarm for the same time every day because when I charted at random times, my chart was a mess.Married 8/14/09TTC #1 since 5/2014BFP #1 11/14/14 - CP @ 5w2d

According FF, it's at least at rise of 0.4 degrees F. But it can obviously vary from person to person. Have you checked out their website?MrsGreen92014 said:Ok while I'm asking questions how big a shift is a shift? A full degee? A few tenths of one?https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Married 8/14/09TTC #1 since 5/2014BFP #1 11/14/14 - CP @ 5w2d
