Charters, please come in

I looked but I can't seem to find an answer, but is there something you are supposed to do with your chart because of daylight savings time??

Because now the time I take my temp is 30 minutes to an hour off then I was.

Does this make a difference?

Any information you might have would be great!! Thanks!!

Re: Charters, please come in

Do you have TCOYF? I lent the book to a friend so i can't look it up, but I know there is a part in there about traveling time differences and daylight savings.

Re: Charters, please come in

Well the temps should only be off by 1 hour right?

Your body should adjust after about 2 days...

Found this on FF:

Daylight Saving Time

The effect of Daylight Saving Time (DST) on your temperature is usually limited to the day of the change because you adjust quite quickly. In addition, the exact effect depends strongly on your own metabolism. Some people will see no effect at all while others will see a slight change (increase or decrease). Because in general having one temperature slightly off will not change your chart interpretation, Fertility Friend's recommendation is to record your temperature as usual without correcting it in any manner. We recommend that you keep taking the temp at the same time. If you took it at 6 in the morning before the change, then take it at 6 in the morning after the change.

I do have the book, I didn't even think of looking there

But thank you for finding the answer for me I really appreciate it

And it is funny, it did take 2 days to get it back to normal. I had a big drop for 2 days and then it went back up to about what it was

Re: Charters, please come in

I use FF and in their help portion, they basically say one day won't throw it off, because it is not a single temp, but a pattern that you track.
