Id go with the second Nicole. As long as you didnt move or talk or anything between the two temps.

 

[Charlotteee]

The second one hun xx

Helly I was thinking the same but put the 1st temp..gonna go change it.

 

[Helly]

As naughty as it is, I prefer the second temp obviously and as long as you can justify that in your own mind thats good enough!

 

[Helly]

Your chart is looking really good by the way Nicole!

 

[NicoleB]

I also changed my two temps I took a hour late back and ff gave me back my crosshairs all tho because Ive had ewcm after I dont have solid crosshairs..

 

[NicoleB]

I really think the 2nd one is more "honest": because I know my mouth started to open when I was taken my 1st temp but because I dont think I've Od really yet thats kinda high...all tho since cd 10 my day time temps have been really high for pre O to so hell I dont know lol

I just received my thermometer 10 minutes ago in the post, that took less than 24 hours!! Very pleased.
Tomorrow will be my first day charting temps and hopefully I can open my eyes at the same time each morning, as I tend to be very lazy before work, and like to catch an extra half hour sometimes!
I will be posting a link to my FF once I start charting so I will be able to share my info with you guys.
Good luck all

Good luck MrsMurphy2Be! Just take your temp then go back to sleep, I do that sometimes.

Yeah I noticed on your chart you are still getting EWCM Nicole, weird. Though it may be a good sign!

Hi, really new to temping here... does any one of you use an Ear thermometer? That's the only type I have at home and it gives reading of only up to 1 decimal place... would you recommend that I use this, or shall I purchase another type? Thanks! x

glad you got it!! Good luck honey...

I wouldnt use a ear thermometer honey a oral one is best and it doesnt have to be a bbt one it can be a normal oral one. you can buy one for a few bucks at any retail store or drug store.

I have read that using a thermometer that gives a reading of 2 decimel places is a lot more reliable when temping that a one digit one.

Welcome MrsMurphy2Be glad your thermometer arrived. I just set my alarm for the same time every morning (6am for me) and once I have taken my temp just go back to sleep until its time to get up.

Sleepen usually temps do go down before AF - your chart is looking super promising to me hun have you tested yet? To be honest I haven't seen such a fab looking chart in ages!

 

[NicoleB]

Sleepen I agree with Shazza your chart looks great..

 

[SmileyShazza]

Sleepen I agree with Shazza your chart looks great..

To be fair I'd bloody love a chart like that right now!

 

[sleepen]

thanks ladies, no i have not tested yet since i am not actully late yet. i have no tests in the house and am not going to go out and buy one until i am late. in the past i tested the day i was due and got af like 10 minutes later. so i figure if i hold out and wait till i am absoultely sure i am late i will get my bfp

 

[SmileyShazza]

When are you actually due Sleepen? I notice that on the last chart your temp dropped on CD16 so does that mean you are almost due?

If your temp stays elevated over the next couple of days I would say you are in with a really strong chance, those temps are a lot higher than they have been in your other cycles at this point.

 

[sleepen]

i have a 16 day lp, so should be due for af tommarow. i guess i'll have to wait and see what happens. thanks again ladies
