Hi all, I am new to temping, this is my second cycle
I'm a bit confused as to what is best in this scenario:
I have set my alarm to temp for 5:30am. I tried temping at 8am, but found that I would often wake up around 6am for a wee, which would then ruin 8am temps. I then thought it would be best to temp at 6am then.. But found I ended up waking up earlier still! I now wake up anywhere between 5-6am. I take my temp as soon as I wake up, I immediately roll over (if I need to) & grab my thermometer. Thankfully, my temps have all been around the same time, 5:30-5:45am.
This morning, however, I woke up at 5am without realising. I took my temp & it was higher than normal.. The others have been pretty rocky I didn't know whether to take it later, or to keep the 5am one as a later one would surely be less accurate?
FF have marked my temp with a circle outline (I also only had around 4hrs sleep before taking my temp, having DTD around 1am )
My cervix feels high, soft & open. But my temp has gone up.
I'm a tad confused!
First question would be: Should I keep the first temp? So the 5am one? Even though it's a little higher? Next time it happens, should I go back to sleep & wait for my alarm 30mins later?
Second question: Could I still have not ovulated yet as my cervix is high, soft and open? Even though my temp has risen?
Final question.. The extreme dip on CD11 was a bit confusing. I took the temp as soon as I woke up. Realised it was a big dip & took it twice more! The next 2 temps were considerably higher. The first temp was 35.46c, second one was 35.81c & the last one was around 35.91c! Do I just keep the first one?
Thank you in advance!!
