Should I temp early or not at all?

Question

Hey ladies! I’m new to temping but have been solid worth my time for the past few weeks. My dilemma is that I’m traveling tomorrow and will be waking up 2 and a half hours earlier than I normally temp. Should I skip it or just temp like it’s regular? I just don’t want to throw anything off, it’s looking like I’m in the post ovulation rise at this point for reference. Thanks so much!

Answer

Take the temp right away like normal. I read the book “Taking Charge of your Fertility” which I strongly encourage to everyone..but it says as long as you get a couple hours sleep, you can temp.  It also says if you get an occasional random temp you can cover it with your finger when you’re looking for trends (if you’re writing it out on paper that is).

Answer

Is temp just to know. I log in Fertility Friend and if it’s way off I would just check the disregard box. You still see the whole cycle and know you didn’t really miss it. Also, for many people the difference isn’t huge across time. But if it is going to freak you out if it’s off, don’t do it.

Answer

When this happens to me, I take my temp. If it’s wildly off from the rest of them, then I don’t log it. I put it in a note and say something about waking up early for travel. If it’s not wildly off, then I would log it and still make that note.

Thanks so much ladies! Huge help! ❤️
