To keep or not to keep?

Zee

So I had to wake up early this morning due to an emergency (my husband blew a tire on his way to work in all of this snowy mess) and I checked my temp like 2 hours earlier than normal. It was a .25 dip from my last temp and I’m 3-4 DPO. Should I keep that temp or just discard it since I took it earlier than normal?

Keep it but just note in the journal section that it was an abnormal time.

The little down facing arrow on today's temp signifies it was taken earlier than normal. I try not to omit temps but make notes of any abnormalities that cause temps that are out of the "norm"

What setting do you have this on? Advanced? It's odd that the app hasn't drawn crosshairs yet. If you discard that temp, does it draw crosshairs?

I posted my screenshot from yesterday. Please tell me what you think. I have irregular periods.

Once I discard the temps, it gives me cross hairs. I made a post about it the other day and someone told me to remove my positive OPK and it thought I was like 6 DPO based on my dip. I put it back because I believe I ovulated on CD25 (day after my positive test). I have it on advanced right now though.

This was yesterday without my positive OPK.

... Not on that date at least.

Oh wow...I didn’t have a blazing positive so that’s what I’ve been going off of and all the cramping that happened during that time.

I agree with this chart (removing the positive opk) gives you dotted crosshairs. You can do that and "discard" today's temp if you want. Either way, it does look like confirmed ovulation
