Quick bbt question

[Querida87]

I checked my bbt when I first woke up and got 97.2. I used the bathroom and went back to sleep. Three hours later I woke up for good and checked it again, just because I'm new to charting and curious, and it was 97.7. So my question is simply this: which temp was correct if both were taken laying down upon first awakening??? (Also, I have never noticed ewcm so that isn't gonna help me on my charting.. )

At what time do you normally temp? Your BBT will rise both with being awake, movement, and as the day progresses. Since you were asleep for 3 hours before both temps, then they are both equally accurate, it's just a question of which temp was taken closer to your normal temping time.

I normally temp at 7am when I get up to get my boys ready for school. The first reading today was at 8:05 the second at 11:15. Thanks for the quick response.

Your first temp is probably the most reliable one, even after 3 hours sleep on the second.
Try to take your temp at the same time everyday because even waking up abit earlier can change things

You always take your first temp.

I would also stick to your first temp. I always wake up once or twice to pee so I always took my temp after first wakeup even though it was at 2/3am.
