temping ??

in Trouble TTC a Sibling
Anyone have a suggestion as to how I can remind my self to temp when I wake up? Or does it just come natural to everyone else? For the last two week I have been trying to temp and I have succeeded twice. Today is cd1 and I w po update prefer to temp this cycle rather than use opks. But for some reason I don't think about it until I've been up for 20 min or so.

    Do you use an alarm clock? If so, can you tape the thermometer to the snooze button or something like that? I place my thermometer next to my phone, so I always feel it when I'm turning off the alarm.

    For me it is second nature as I have been doing it for so long.  I know some other ladies who put it on top of their alarm clock, or on top of their phone.  Some also set their alarm for a different time and temp as soon as it goes off, and then go back to sleep until their regular wake up time.
    This is what I do.  I set it for 5 a.m. and then my second alarm is usually 5:30 a.m.

    I have been setting it on to the night stand next to my phone. I will try taping it tonight or maybe just setting it on top of my phone. Thanks.

    I also always set my bbt on top of my phone.  That way when I grab my phone to turn off my alarm, my thermometer is in my hand too.  It took a good 2 months of temping before it became 2nd nature for me.  I also always had to temp for the entire month, even during AF, because if I took any time off, I would start forgetting to take it.  

    This is the first month in a long time that I am not temping due to a medicated cycle and I still reach for my bbt as soon as I wake up.  Definitely keep at it!  It is worth it!
