Temp question

ok - I usually take me temps around 7:00 every morning (give or take 10 minutes before or after 7:00). Well, this morning DH's alarm woke me up at 5:45. I fell back to sleep, but woke up at 6:15 (I actually jumped out of bed - cause the dog was making a weird noise) anyway, I got back in bed and took my temp - it was 98.31. I then proceeded to lay in bed to see if I can fall back to sleep - couldn't - took my temp again at 6:40 and it was 98.11. I then still tried falling back to sleep - of course didn't and took my temps at 7:00 - 98.34.

So after all that - what do I chart my temp with for today? Or do I not chart it at all?

Thank Girls!

Re: Temp question

I honestly wouldnt use any temp today....you really should get at least 3-4 hours of sleep in before taking it, and then around the same time.

BUT...I HAVE to put a temp in, Im obsessive, so for me , I would use the very first one since you had slept before that one, and then if you use charting software, let it fix the temp for you. It would typically rise 1/10th ( I believe thats it, maybe someone else can confirm) per hour. That would give you a somewhat accurate #.

Re: Temp question

I would make it down on your chart as a disturbance - you really shouldnt count it though.
