Temping question -help please!

[StretchMarks]

After 6 months of failing to conceive #2, I have finally decided to take the plunge and start temping. I've been using OPKs every month, but after this month's weirdness, I realize that I have no idea if I'm even ovulating.

Anyway, I am a really light sleeper, have a snoring husband, and a toddler who wakes up in the middle of the night...so yeah really messed-up sleep schedule. It's never consistent, but Most nights, I end up waking up anywhere from 1-4 times in the middle of the night and then permanently at 6/6:30 in the morning. Ugh. My question is: Can I still temp if this is the case? I read tht you're supposed to take temp at the same time every morning, the first time you wake up, but for me that can mean 1:30am, 2:00am, 4:00am, or on a really good day 6:30am (happens every couple of months)!
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm the same. I have two toddlers that sometimes wake and a snoring husband for that matter, lol. I always make sure I record my temp if I had at least 3 hours of sleep prior to taking it. I usually temp at 6:45 each morning. So say my son wakes up at 6 I will quickly temp and imput it in to FF. It will show as an open circle. FF is pretty good at figuring everything out. Oh and today I had to discard my temp because both boys have the stomach bug and I was awake all night. But I will still temp tomorrow morning. Give it a try, if it doesn't work you can always stop. I'm enjoying it so far and I hope it helps me get a BFP Good luck to you!

I also wake up 1-4 times to use bathroom due to bladder condition. Talked to specialist about it. He said to still temp. I just set my alarm for 6 15 and have thermometer under pillow. Take it then either go back to bed or get up. Been doing this for 4 months now and Temps stay pretty accurate still even if I happen to not been asleep for 3 straight hours. Really like fertility app but my doc likes paper temp graphs so I do both!

Good luck by the way I've been at this for 2 1/2 years temping is by far the cheapest and best info I have ever received that was worth putting time into. I will never do opks again haha

FF says just temp every morning at the same time and it will do the rest for you! Don't give up
