I can't get an accurate temp because of the way I wake up. Help!
This is my first month keeping track of my bbt and I have noticed that when I first wake up I am not fully aroused for some time. I am not even aware that I am awake until I fully wake up and by then I have moved around and stretched. I'm not sure how long it takes me to fully wake up.
I have tried setting my alarm earlier but after 3-4 days by body adjust and I'm doing the same thing before the alarm goes off. My alarm now goes off at 4:30AM which is exactly after 4 hours of sleep most nights and less on others. But today I woke up at 4:20 because im naturally adjusting to the new waking time. It's very frustrating.
When I first wake up I am paralyzed. I can't move and things still seem like a dream. My eyes may be open and I may answer any questions asked of me if my DH ask but they will be crazy answers that don't make sense. By the time I fully awake I have stretched and moved quite a bit. I'm not sure how long it takes me actually wake up and be coherent enough to take my bbt. I feel like this is affecting my temps.
I now use glow to track my 1st temp when my alarm goes off and fertility friend to track my 6:30 temp. They are quite different. Sometimes the earlier temp will be higher, sometimes it will be lower. Does this happen to anyone else? Will my bbt be thrown off because of this? I feel like giving up.
