oh dreams! that reminds me of one of my favorite posts, when i was TTC # 1 i wrote this the day before my BFP " I had a dream that my alarm didn't go off and when i looked at the time it was 7.30 so i quickly took my temperature and it was a dissapointing .35 but then i realised it wasn't a 36.35 it was a 37.35 and i got really really really excited. Then my alarm went off and i woke up and i was heart broken i dreamt the temp rise, i was so crushed because the dream was one of those ones that felt so real. So i temped and got a 36.59 on the left and i thought here we go it'll be a day where i get 36.2 and 36.7 throwing EVERTHING off because i don't know which one to take and the right ended up being 36.68! so i had 36.59 and 36.68! which was a huge spike! I jumped up and tested however BFN it is. *sigh* i shall not be discouraged tho!!!! for once i am happy to hope for a few days rather than sit and convince myself this month is not the month. I feel like doing lots of PMA!"
Then the next day i got my BFP!
LOL
In case any of you are wondering. I take my temperature from both sides of my mouth and put the average on the graph however i record BOTH in the notes. I started doing this because i found whatever side i slept on usually had a higher temperature so sometimes if i slept on my right or left side it would impact on my temp. See if i always tested right and slept on my right side 6-7 days they might be consistent but then if i slept on my left side then my right side would show a low temp and my graph would have this drop for that one day, i don't know about you guys but i hate it when my chart looks erratic. lol. It's also good because i can go back and look at all my left side temps for one month if i can be bothered and determine if it would of been clearer to take just one side. Or when i have a temp that's really really out or my temps are really really far apart i temp both sides again and if i still get the same weird result and an average wouldn't look right i choose a side that i think might be more fitting.
It's probably not the right was to go about charting but i figure the more information i record the more i have to draw on and like i said i can always go back and change them all to one side temps.
