I read that I'm supposed to take my temp at the same time each morning, after a good 'block' of sleep.
Thing is, my morning just don't go like that. Get out of bed time is 5:45am. Usually I'm up at least once sometime between 3am & 5am. And even if DS sleeps through, I now wake up out of habit. What do I do? Just take my temp at 5:45 and hope it's good enough? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I would take it before you get up between 3 and 5... I am assuming that is after a longer sleep... I think it's more important to have had a solid 3 hours than to take it at the same time each day ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

Nope....those mums who have little ones will take their temp a few times a night if necessary then use the temp which followed a 3hr block of sleep (or the nearest thing to that). Shift workers have the same problem 
So if your DS wakes, take your temp then see to him...if you have a BBT it will remember your temp when you next switch it on. Hope that helps  -------------

He's at the stage where DS wakes us up about every other night, and then we don't go to him unless he makes noise for more than a minute (which is even less often).
So, taking temp when I first wake will be ok. May even get to making him wait 2 minutes  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I don't notice much difference in temp between 2 or 3 hours sleep - I'm often up too.. so yeah just take it whenever ya wake up and see how ya go... Good luck for waiting 2 mins ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |
