Ist alarm at 5am was always to temp. 2nd alarm at 6 was to get up. I got the thermometer that kept your last temp so i would record it when i got up for the day. mrs. tictactoe on "I can't remember to chart!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-remember-to-chart#post-756593 Thu, 02 May 2013 12:17:30 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 756593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thanks for the advice, everyone! Shutterbug on "I can't remember to chart!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-remember-to-chart#post-755564 Wed, 01 May 2013 20:25:24 +0000 Shutterbug 755564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I quit temping because I kept forgetting. I take thyroid meds and they have to be taken first thing in the morning (1 hr before breakfast) so half the time I take my pill and then think 'shoot - I forgot to temp!' and then it's too late, because I just drank water. I still chart using OPKs (in FF) but that's it.

I'm going back to basics this month and just using CM. I'm still going to temp but I'm following the creighton model to TTC. One of the only reasons I started temping was to help confirm O. I do what @TemperanceBrennan: does wake up to my alarm, temp, log it, and I'm back to sleep. GL!

I used just OPKs and got pregnant on the first try twice.

That's what I did initially. You might take them for quite some time but no harm in that! mrs. tictactoe on "I can't remember to chart!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-remember-to-chart#post-755290 Wed, 01 May 2013 17:17:44 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 755290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I keep it on my nightstand, but it's a good idea to keep it on top of my phone (which is my alarm). I guess I should set my alarm a little earlier because I'm almost always awake before it goes off anyway. TemperanceBrennan on "I can't remember to chart!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-remember-to-chart#post-755271 Wed, 01 May 2013 17:02:25 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 755271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do the same thing Foodnerd81 does. I usually get up at 6:30, but set the alarm for 6:15, take a temp, log it in ff, and then snooze until 6:30. I usually do it half asleep. I used to do the same thing when I was taking bc. It's also really easy for me to fall asleep after I wake up, so it doesn't bother me too much.

I would just watch my cervical position to see when to start taking OPK's.

But, I didn't have a baby, so I think that would be a lot harder, plus you probably really don't want to lose half an hour of sleep! I never did OPKs so can't speak to that. mrs. tictactoe on "I can't remember to chart!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-remember-to-chart#post-755201 Wed, 01 May 2013 16:19:16 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 755201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For some reason I never remember to take my BBT in the morning before I get up. I think part of it is that Liam wakes up before my alarm sometimes, and I'm so preocupied with him that I forget. Even if my husband gets up to bring him in bed to nurse, I still forget. Do you have a trick for remembering to take your temp? Is it a bad idea to just try an OPK without charting?
