Bbt time taken varied - at all reliable?

Question

Ok this is my first temping and I haven't been good about taking it at the same time. Mostly because I tend to wake up at different times and feel like I should take it right away rather than keep sleeping until my alarm goes off. I'm never usually more/less than an hour apart so is my chart at all reliable or did I botch this up completely?

Answer

Thanks, ladies. I am sure I ovulated on the 23rd but on the 24th my temp didn't go up which has me concerned (because I didn't get to BD on the 24th). It did go up today though, on the 25th. I did read that sometimes it takes a day or two for your temp to raise after ovulation so I'm hoping that is the case and I have high temps the next two days.

Answer

I agree- within an hour should be ok- I have the same issue- my cats like to wake me up before my alarm goes off, and first thing in the morning my brain is not with it, so sometimes I would take my temp right away, and sometimes I would get up, shut the cats up, go back to bed and take my temp an hour later. But- I still got a readable chart, with ovulation clear, so you should be fine!

Answer

An hour should be fine. I have found it gives a reliable pattern
