Bbt how to not go crazy while doing this?

Question

I hear of people doing this to confirm o but I don't want it to make me crazy. I don't want to stress and try to remember to do it before I get up. Does it really help? Will I go nuts from it lol?

Answer

I really like doing it. I like being able to confirm ovulation, and I like counting the days after the thermal shift (hoping to hit 16). It's a nice backup tool to the OPK, and it helps you learn your cycles and better understand your body. I keep my thermometer on my nightstand and do it as soon as I start to feel restless in the morning. I also set an alarm for 7 am (in case my kid hasn't woken me up yet). If you have to get up with your little one during the night, that can throw off your BBT if you don't get another 4-5 hours of sleep after. That made it hard for me to track at first... But, now, if my son wakes up before midnight, I deal with it, and if he wakes up after, I send my husband. That has really helped.

Answer

I think it's extremely helpful. Just have the thermometer right next to your bed so you roll over and pop it in your mouth. One piece of advice is NOT to try temping throughout the day. I did that last cycle and went crazy. Just do it once, record it, and don't think about it. I had a really clear shift 2 cycles ago and it's so cool to see how your body works :)
