Started temping today.

in Trying to Get Pregnant

So, I finally went out and bought a basel therm.  I tried it out lastnight, seems pretty much the same as a regular therm.  Is there really a difference?  Anyway, my alarm went off promptly at 7am, and I reach carefully to the nightstand to grab it.  I no sooner stick it in my mouth and dh, who always sleeps through me hitting the snooze for an hour, decides to start asking me repeatedly if I was going to get up. WTF?  He never does that!  I can hit snooze for an hour and a half and he won't say a word to me.  But this morning, he figures he needs to ask me if I'm getting up 10 seconds after my alarm goes off?  I wanted to punch him.  It was dark, I could hardly function, and I'm trying to get this stupid stick to take my temp and its not working.  Finally, I pull it out of my mouth and say HANG ON! lol  So, he immediately asks me again!  UGH!  I was like, HANG ON!!  I'm trying to take my temp!  JEEZ!  So, finally it takes. 

 

My question is this:  The instructions say don't move, don't talk, etc. before taking the temp.  So how much can I really move while I'm taking it?  Can I turn over, shift in bed?  Do I really have to not talk?  I was hoping you experienced ladies could help me with that.  I was trying to lay so still that I actually started having hot flashes and was sweating by the time I was done taking it.  Taking my temp has never been so stressfull before! lol  TIA!!

    You really just shouldn't get out of  bed before temping. Good Luck!

    I wouldn't worry about it.  Just remind DH before bed that you are temping and to leave you alone until you are done Smile

    Yay for temping though!

    My DH asked me last week what the diff was between the two thermometers. There is a slight difference in a basal thermometer to a fever thermometer.  Basically basals are more accurate. A basal measures in tenths of a degree where fever thermometers measure in two-tenth degree or whole degree increments. Basals are also much faster then fever thermometers and they record the temp until you use it again so  you can chart at a later time. Welcome to charting and good luck!

    I started on Wednesday...what an adventure!  DH works out of town during the week so I don't have any distractions when I wake up to do this.  This weekend should be interesting!
