Having trouble temping

[ChocLover]

I was so excited about taking my first temp reading this morning that I woke up about 4 times - couldn't sleep for the required 3hr block - ended up taking the temp at 5:30am when is already been awake about half an hour .. And took it again at 6:50 when my alarm went off (i hadn't been able to get back to sleep between 5:30 and 6:30).

The 5:30 reading was 36.55C .. The 6:50 reading was 36.77C

Sigh.

Don't worry about it too much. I OFTEN (almost every night) have restless sleep. Sometimes I'm lucky and wake up for the last time at 2:30am (get up at 6AM) so I consider my temps ok. This morning I woke up at 5:30AM and had to pee, tried to wait, but just took my temp so I could get out of bed. I took the 5:30am temp and adjusted it to 6AM...check out this website for when you wake up earlier/later.

For example, if you woke up at 5AM after a 3 hour sleep and know you are getting up in an hour I would temp and adjust it with the website.

I am just learning too! My chart is all kinds of crazy...just use the link Beachy posted, and adjust your temps accordingly, it has been working great for me.
