I got up, talked to her, tucked her back in, and lay back down for 10 minutes until my alarm went off. Temp was only .04 different from yesterday when I stayed in bed. So for me it doesn't seem like a huge deal breaker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1798525 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:13:41 +0000 autumnlove 1798525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! Ugh, I forgot to take my temp today....my thermometer was next to my alarm clock and glasses. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1798519 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:11:24 +0000 LindsayInNY 1798519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My charting is more in line with @MamaCate: theory. It's not perfect but I've never had any issues reading my chart either. I temp when my alarm goes off around 5:45-6am even if I go to the bathroom an hour or so before then. The only time I usually temp earlier is if I wake up and go to the bathroom around 5:15 or 5:30. I find that a temp taken around 3:30am won't be as accurate anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1798357 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 01:25:42 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1798357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like op's, I temp whenever I've had 3+ hrs of sleep. I often wake up somewhere between 3:50 &amp; 4:30a, temp, take my thyroid meds (which have to be 30-60 min before food, then go back to sleep until either 5:20 during the week or 7ish on the weekend &amp; it has been good enough to get data on ff (with opk's). Maybe if all I did was temp it'd be too erratic, &amp; I often get open circles, but the temps don't seem to fluctuate simply based on the time I temped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1797259 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 11:00:32 +0000 Adira 1797259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take my temp after whatever was my longest stretch of sleep. So if I got up in the middle of the night, as long as I had slept for 3 hours, I'd temp then. ESPECIALLY if I thought I wasn't going to get an additional 3 hours after going back to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1797239 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 10:53:48 +0000 MamaCate 1797239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up most nights to pee between 3-4:30 and then am up for the day at 5:30 or 6 depending on if it is a workout day. I have still been able to pinpoint ovulation and my philosophy is that my chart is "good enough" not perfect. I do write a note on the day in ff so I can go back and discard if needed but so far it hasn't seemed to be a big problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1796887 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:09:00 +0000 MamaMoose 1796887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why temping never worked for me. My wake up to pee is never at the same time, so there was no way for me to get a temp at a consistent time AND following 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1796882 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:07:36 +0000 LBee 1796882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are supposed to try for 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I had a problem of waking up naturally starting at 5 AM and then kind of snoozing off and on until I woke up for the day - I ended up just taking my temperature at 5 AM everyday. It sounds like if you always wake-up at 4 AM you could just re-jig your temp time to be then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathroom-breaks-and-charting-your-temp#post-1796877 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:05:24 +0000 autumnlove 1796877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked for "bathroom breaks charting temps" and didn't see anything in search.</p> <p>When do you take your temp? I usually wake up around 4 something to use the bathroom and then I go back to sleep until 5:45ish. </p>
