Charting over the holidays

Was it a really bad idea to start charting this month? Between a weekend away and all of the holiday parties, I'm drinking more than I would've normally and my temps are all over the place.

On the one hand, it's really interesting to see the effect (kind of an eye opener on what alcohol does to your body!) on the other, will this month be inconclusive or will I still be able to pinpoint my o date?

You should be able to pinpoint it - just be consistent with the timing of the temperatures. GOod Luck

If you want to be safe just bd everyother day from day 8-18

Thanks. Judging from my previous cycle off of BCP, I don't actually O until CD24 or so!

But we're not TTC until January anyway - just my first month temping and I just worry that all this merry making ( ) has meant that I've wasted all those mornings waking up to temp!

Re: Charting over the holidays

As long as you take your temp at the same time everyday, you should be able to identify your ovulation date. There may be some inconsistencies on days you drink or don't get much sleep, but for the most part, you should see a pattern.
