I got a BBT and I am now going to start temping. I'm still sort of sick so it might affect things. Does anyone have some tips on temping properly?

Thanks ahead of time!

Main tips for temping are set your alarm for the same time each morning so that you can temp and then either get up or go back to sleep.

Don't get up and then temp, make sure you temp before you do anything, ideally before you even speak. Oh, and make sure you've had at least 3 hours solid sleep.

Temping does take a month or two to get into, but once you do, it's like second nature.

GL!

Hey there, you're in the same boat as me. I started temping two days ago. First morning was great but this morning, i turned the alarm off and went straight back to sleep. Wakened an hour later, text my mum and then realised I hadn't temped it takes a bit of getting into but I'm sure its habit forming!

Hey i started temping this month...Im not getting the hang of it lol....my OH has his alarm set for 6am mon-fri so i jus wack it in me gob as soon as it goes off....only annoying thing is the weekends lol cuz ya have to set ya alarm for same time lol so im awake at 6 on a sat n sun lol....but its def a good way to see things. im hoping i ovulated today ....my temp will soon tell me tomo xxx good luck xx

Good luck i'm going to start also, i've just found the kit i bought ages ago but never bothered using it!

this is my second month temping and im still getting the hang of it, my chart said id ovulated on cd13 then changed today to not ovulated at all. Having any alcohol the night before seems to affect my temps so i've started to disregard the morning after a drink. But the best advice i would give is definately taking your temp at the same time every day incl w'ends, which is hard, i messed up last month by being off work a week and having lie ins.

I might have that problme this week as i'm off work don't fancy setting my alarm for the usual time i would have to get up for work!!!

i think the most accurate thing is the cbfm, im hoping that anyway, i think temping there is so much room for mis-interpretation etc

How are you getting on with the cbfm? I get o pains and also EWCM so figured if i temp that will confirm when i think i O well hopefully anyway!

starting next cycle, waiting for my sticks to arrive, cbfm arrived Thurs. I don't seem to have ewcm and it all seems the same from about cd 10onwards so i figure my cbfm will help me properly, not ha d apositive on an opk either
