I'm temping for the first time properly this cycle and I'm having some problems with wake up times.

I usually wake up at 7.10am and I've recorded temps for this time for the past week. Problem is, for the last 2 days I've woken up at 5am (yesterday) and 6am today to go to the bathroom. Today at 6am my temp was 36.19 and after going to the bathroom and a good bit of tossing and turning, I woke up at 7.10am and it was 36.41. FF says on adjusting it it should be 36.35. could someone have a look at my chart and let me know if that sounds about right? 36.19 definitely sounds too low looking at my chart and I'd only have had about 6 hours sleep at that stage. 36.41 actually sounds right but I'd already been up and about to the bathroom an hour before!

Any advice would be great please, don't want to screw up my first chart!!!

Thanks ladies

Never temped myself, hopefully one of the other girls can give you some advice though

Hi there Lu! Just had a peek your chart hun.

Personally i would not try to correct the temps, as FF does not recommend it. I If you think it's only gonna be these 2 days that are off, you can put in the later temps as "sleep deprived" on your chart, which means the temps were taken with less than 3 hours sleep.

If it's a persistent problem, I would suggest setting your alarm for a horribly early time, when you are usually sound asleep. You will soon get into the habit of automatically temping whilst half dead! It's best not to change your normal time mid-cycle though.

Hope some of that helps!
