Compare the two times/numbers to see how different or accurate they look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-vs-getting-up#post-741491 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:56:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 741491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did some experimenting to figure out what changed my temps more-- and I think I found it was the time of morning more so than hours slept, unless it was a really short amount of time sleeping. All you can do is try it and see how your chart looks. I think it really does depend on how awake you are though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-vs-getting-up#post-741462 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:46:53 +0000 runsyellowlites 741462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I've been thinking the same thing! My first month charting I temped in the a.m. when it was time to get up &amp; my chart looked beautiful. Then I started waking more so I starting temping after my longest sleep period, the 2 following charts look totally wonky... Then again I also had an 18 day cycle then a 38 day cycle so I was confused. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-vs-getting-up#post-741324 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:07:26 +0000 pui 741324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of struggling with this now too... and I think I have determined that the time I take my temperature is more important than how many hours I've been fully asleep before temping (at least for me), as long as I didn't get up and walk around when I "woke up" early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-vs-getting-up#post-741290 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:00:36 +0000 runsyellowlites 741290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently changed our sleeping arrangements so I no longer having to get out of bed if/when P wakes up. I do still wake, well more like stir, quite a bit through the night but it usually entails just rolling over, latching P, and going back to sleep.</p> <p>I'm wondering if since I'm not actually "getting up" if I can start temping when I actually get up at 7:45-8 &amp; it be an accurate temp? I would think since I'm not really moving around it should be fine right? </p>
