Another question about BBT.?

Question

I have started charting only for a couple days. I have my alarm set to wake up at 5:00 am but I noticed that sometimes I have been waking up at like 4:30 or maybe a little earlier and other times I wake up to the alarm. I dont get out of bed but is this gonna mess up the temp? Thanks.

Hello!

Yes for every half hour that you wait to take your temp it goes up. For some women their temping is easily effected and for some it wouldn't make that big of a difference.

You should really read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It's a really fab book, and tells you everything you need to know about BBT.

Are you using www.fertilityfriend.com? you can adjust the time on there too. I would take it when you wake up even if it's at 4.30. If you KEEP waking at 4.30 you might want to change your alarm time to 4.30 instead of 5?

All the best & good luck x*x

Update : where are you in your cycle? It is a bit of a rise and I would have expected the temp today to be lower than the other.....
