Maybe once or twice a month? And it's usually not that I forget (I have an alarm for it set to go off daily). Usually I decide to sleep in or I give myself a few days off during AF since those temps don't usually mean too much.

Yep! I usually take the week of AF off, but I'm pretty consistent other than that.

Yep! I never forget actually, I have my thermometer right next to my phone, which I check for the time as soon as I wake up.

I think I'll try next cycle... But it's hard because A sleeps next to me from about 5am onwards so lots of tossing and turning, which I'm sure could screw it up.

I've never tried it!! We're TTC #2 and just got an OPK this last cycle. For those that chart, do you do that and OPK?

@dolphin: I do.
I like to have the OPKs to predict when O is coming. But because I have PCOS, I could have a positive OPK surge but not actually O, so I confirm with temps.

I don't because I get up to pee at least once every night (even when I'm not preggo) so I don't think temping would be accurate. I feel like it could be an additional stress thing for me to try and remember to take my temp at the exact same time every day and log it before I forget, etc.

I temp!! This is my first month of being dedicated to it though! So far I haven't missed a day yet! Although it's only been about 2 weeks now hahaha

@dolphin: this is only my first cycle that I used as BCP. I user opk to figure out any O trends for future cycles.

When we TTC #1 I missed once or twice a month. Now that we are TTC#2 I remember once or twice a month. (Odd wake up times + having to hide the thermometer from LO)

I always forgot while traveling. Maybe 3-4 times per month. FF might scold me, but it always coped.

@travelgirl1: in your case I'd temp at 5am or whenever you start cosleeping!

@sslm: I wondered about that, but it isn't the same time every night, it varies... 5 is the average Her crib is right next to our bed so she might not be very happy if I pop a thermometer in before coming to get her, ha ha. But needs must, do maybe that's what I'll do.
