Why am I so bad at bbt?

Question

Anyone else just suck at taking your bbt? I cant seem to wake up at the right time (I always wake up too early). Then if I am awake at the right time I drop the thermometer and have to fumble around looking for it, and screw up the temp by getting up. 
I don't think I'm ever going to do it right. 🤦‍♀️

Answer

I have ordered the ovusense!

Answer

And for your own interest this is what my average NON-pregnant cycle looked like, with lots of spikes in temps:

Versus my pregnant charts where there are more consistent temps and a steady rise.

Also scanning the sensor took a bit to get used to. Make sure that the little raised ‘wifi’ lines on the sensor are facing up and you scan to the top left underneath your iPhone by the camera. 
My first sensor would seem to take forever to download the temp. They sent me a new one and it was instant every time. I hope that helps. 
Also you can manually lower and raise your cover line in the app by dragging your finger over the green area on the left hand side. Lots of people don’t realise that. Once ovulation had occurred, raise it until the line reaches the average temp line (green line) on the day of ovulation x

Let’s be real. It’s hard. If you’re constantly waking up early, set your alarm for that same time so you can get accurate readings. I don’t fret about a 30 min inaccuracy anymore, because it’s hard, but I also take into account how I’m sleeping. My goal is to get an accurate reading, even if the timing isn’t perfect. I just annotate the temp difference and go about my business. Don’t stress yourself out about it ❤️ Seriously. Do your best and find a better routine/rhythm, even if it means waking yourself up a bit earlier for it.

Answer

Ovusense was the best thing I ever invested in. Really helped me understand my cycles and when i ovulate. I used it over 16 cycles. It takes the stress out because it measures code BBT temp and you don’t have to wake up at the same time each day.
