Fallen that sounds ok to me. What CD are you up to? The reason its taken first thing in the morning is so there is greater accuracy with your rested temps.]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:09:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=488124&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#488124 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=487216&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#487216 Author: fallen

I bought a digital thermometer yesterday because I didn't like the mercury one. I tried the new one this morning and got a reading of 35.11

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe I'm just really cold first thing in the morning??]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:46:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=487216&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#487216 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=486187&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#486187 Author: WestiesGirl

I've got a digital one and find it really nice and simple to use. It beeps when it's ready too and saves the temperature so if I'm not ready to turn the light on and check I can just turn it off and check later.]]> Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:35:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=485905&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#485905 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=485899&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#485899 Author: fallen

Yes, you need a Basal (Ovulation) Thermometer (BBT) and if you can get one that goes to 2 decimal places it has greater accuracy.

Sunshine everyones temps vary but around the fertile time it should be a low temp. If you go to the charting thread you will see some charts to give you an idea. Your temps are high after Ovulation ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:58:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=465369&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#465369 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=465282&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#465282 Author: sunshine

and this:

How can I take my temperature when I have to get up in the middle of the night almost every night?


If you have to get up in the night and it is unavoidable, like having to take care of a small child, or if you have to go to the bathroom, just do the best you can. While some women notice rocky temperatures when they wake during the night, some women notice little impact. Take your temperature as close as you can to the same time each morning and choose a time that is likely to be when you have had the most sleep. For example, if your toddler wakes up every morning at 6 am, then take your temperature at that time, even if you go back to sleep. Try to avoid taking your temperature in the middle of the night, though, even if you seem to always get up at the same time in the middle of the night. Temperatures taken in the morning show a clearer biphasic curve and the time is more predictable.

Found this on Fertility Friend:

Is it more important to take my temperature at the same time every day or after at least three hours of sleep?


Ideally, you will be able to take your temperature at both the same time and after at least three hours of sleep, but sometimes this is not possible. Do your best to meet the ideal as closely as possible. Whether or not you will have a more accurate temperature after sleeping the longest or at your usual wake-up time varies depending on your own unique metabolism. You will only really know after you have charted for several cycles and have experimented a little bit.

i'd say go woth 630 even if you havent quite had enough sleep (make a note of those days) at least it will always be at the same time as apposed to anything between 2-4am]]> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:31:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=444250&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#444250 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=444208&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#444208 Author: Peanut

Yeah, I know thats what you are suppose to do so thats where it gets confusing as sometimes I am up from 4-4.30 and then only get 2 hours sleep if I set my alarm for 6.30am so its really needing to sort out which one is worse

Temping at different times eg between 2-4am
or
Temping at 6.30 after less than 2 hours sleep.

It was so much easier temping the first time with no child as could sleep through the night and just temp at 6.30am when my alarm went off

you really need to temp at the same time every morning, and always after 3 hours sleep. i think you would be best setting an alarm for 630, if you have an electronic thermometer it will store the temp and you can just record it when you get up for the day.]]> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:00:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=444123&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#444123 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19279&PID=443980&title=temping-question-or-2-or-3#443980 Author: Peanut

I am just about to start temping for the second time.The first time round was easy temping as did it as soon as my alarm went off in the morning for work...

Thsi time around my "alarm" is all over the show. DS wakes anytime between 2 -4 am and then wakes for the day between 6.30 and 7am.

Right my questions:
When should I temp? Just when I wake or before I get up to him at the earlier time.
How much wil it effect my charting if I haven't got the same amount of sleep time between getting up the 1st time then temping when wakes for the day.

Any other advice appreciated!
