Question about charting?

[rustyswife828]

I started charting on this cycle.. I think my chart is a little bit inaccurate cause I didn't know how to use the thermometer for a few mornings so it started off bad..
My question is I go to sleep around 9:30 or so and when my husband gets home at 1 in the morning he wakes me up accidentally..
So I take my temperature cause I'm suppose to get up at 4.

So if I take some temps at 1 and then some at 4 is my chart gonna be accurate?

Also, is it better to take it orally or vaginally?

I would take it at four. As long as you have at least three hours solid sleep, it should be accurate. Plus, if you're not talking or getting up when he gets in, it won't change it to much.

Okay yeah if I wake up when he gets in I go ahead and take my temperature cause I don't know if I'm gonna go back to sleep or not..

But is taking it by mouth very accurate?

Yes. I've only even done it orally and it's always worked for me.
