which temp should I log?? new to charting! thanks!

Question

Hi! This is my first time charting and tracking. I've been taking my temperature every morning between 7-8am. Well, I have a toddler that's not sleeping well right now and I didn't go to bed until around 1am. I woke up at 5 and just decided to take my temp - it was 97.5. I went back to sleep and didn't wake until almost 9:30. I took my temp again and it was 98.2. Not sure which temp to log!! Opinions?? Thanks so much!!!

Answer

There are online bbt adjusters you can use, I'd plug in the 5 am one.

You need to take at the exact same time, I notice a difference in even 20 mins time difference, but that's what the bbt adjuster is for. I would always take the second you wake up the first time (just need a solid 3 hours sleep) and then adjust to your normal 7 am time

Answer

I agree with the other posters, use the first one.  You don't need exact temps anyway, just close enough to see the pattern.

Answer

I would use the first one, but just make note that that temp will be a little bit off because it was earlier than you usually do it.

Answer

Thank you!
