Anyone know how being up at nights affects BBT? My lo is 20 mos but has been up a lot this week for a variety of reasons and my am temps have been all over the place.
I know that being up from say 4-5 am would change my temp at 6, but am wondering if there is a direction of the change like if that would make it higher or lower.
Any advice or experience?

I remember reading that you should still try to take your temperature in the morning rather than after you wake up at night, and I think it's preferable after 3 consecutive hours of sleep. They say vaginal temping is more accurate so maybe that would help?

@MapleMoose:yes i had read that, otr something like it as well. When i started charting this cycle lo was sleeping much better, so i was not worried.
Do you know if it is ok to switch between oral and vaginal mid cycle or if it is better to wait until the next one?

@MamaCate: I started with oral temps and then switched to vaginal. I waited to complete a cycle before switching. I think I read that on FF that you should not switch temping methods mid-cycle because the analysis will not account for it.
