BBT

If you wake up for a minute and go right back to sleep, will that alter your BBT a lot if you didn't get up or anything? I finally got a high temp and I wasn't sure if it was because I got woken up for a minute so I didn't get three hours of consecutive sleep - thanks!

Re: BBT

restless sleep can alter your temp... i dont know if what you are asking is considered restless sleep, so it might... i gave up on the BBT - my temp was constantly all over the map!

Good luck

Re: BBT

If I wake up around 5am, I take my temp... then when I fully wake up, I take it again and see if it is the same. Usually it is the same or .1 degree off...

I keep my thermometer at my bedside though and its digital so its pretty easy to remember.

Re: BBT

where does it fall in your cycle? In this case, I wouldn't go "by the book," but rather by your typical cycles.....if it seems like an odd time to get your high temp, then maybe so. If it seems right on, then it likely is.
THat's just my opinion.

Well I'm not TTC yet... Just charting since it's the first month off BCP and I'm at CD 47... Thanks!

Re: BBT

I temped for the first time this month and had a lot of trouble with it because of irregular sleep and waking. My DH snores and I am up at various points during the night for a few minutes here and there. I recently read a book that suggests OPK's over temping for TTC. For me the OPK's are the better choice. Good luck!
