Disregarding temps when charting?

loopylew · Feb 18th, 2008, 09:13 AM

This is my second month of charting and on both charts you can clearly see when i've had a drink the night before my temp goes up, so every sat/sun result seems to be high. Would you disregard the w'end temps if i've had a drink the night before? i'm really trying to take them at the same time on a w'end so the dots are filled in and not open circles like last month but the alcohol is still affecting the temp even if its only a couple of glasses of wine.

Yes, disreguard the temps, alcohol has an effect on your BBT, as you have seen it raises your morning temp!

I would definitely disreguard the temps as they will throw you out and make drawing coverline etc...more difficult.
