on the temping part why are u having such odd sleeping time???if u dont have a good sleeping pattern than ur temping will never be correct hun!
are u doing anything other than that to knw ur ovulation ? like opks?
i wouldn't recommend [temping at 4am] to everyone, but it's worked so far for me. last month was my first month temping, so FF is still trying to gather data and figure out my LP, average cycle length, etc. and i've never paid attention to fertility signs before now, so it's a work in progress, but my chart still shows a pretty obvious pattern with low pre-O temps, a temp spike for and following O and then a decrease at the end of my LP, and AF the next day. of course there are the occasional "what the...?!" temps but overall nothing that doesn't sort itself out over a couple days and looking at the overall pattern. so i think it'll be okay

now if we could just get a baby
Jumpingo sweets I think if u can do opk as well along with temping if temping is something which ur not getting a proper chart due to ur sleep pattern so that way ull have another help to knw when u ovulating and u can time ur bd well..hows ur cycle going on btw?
pearly, i'm confused...
please re-read my response (last paragraph quoted above) to your question the first time
temping is giving me a fairly clear pattern (aka, it's WORKING).
my sleeping times may be weird, but i am still properly temping at the same time every day.
i'm not looking for something to supplement temping to get a better "reading" on my cycle.
i am too cheap to buy OPKs and don't want the extra stress of "is this positive? is it not?" every day.
i have read a lot of posts from women using OPKs who are still just as confused on when to BD.
don't get me wrong, i'm not saying they aren't helpful or people shouldn't use them,
because obviously they work for a lot of people, but they are not for me, right now.
maybe in a couple months if we still can't get pregnant, i might consider it, but not yet.
temping is also not 100% because you only know when you ovulated AFTER you ovulated,
so yes, it makes timing BD harder, but for now, that's what i'm doing.
i want to get pregnant, but i also can't afford (financially and emotionally) to do everything all at once.
just taking it one step at a time
