So I think I might begin temping next month, I was TTC my daughter for 9 months and never did my temp or used OPK's so I'm very new to it all.

Do you wake yourself up with an alarm at the same time to temp? Is there any tips or 'rules' of temping I should be aware of?
 
I set my alarm every morning at the same time 5.30am and before anything take my temp. Weekends are abit more difficult and tends to be an hour later at 6.30am.

However I should add I'm new to temping too. Get my thermometer by the side of my bed and using my phone type in my temp straight away so I don't forget.

Good luck
 
I take mine at 630am and I have my phone alarm set. I now wake up automatically at 630am. My thermometer is on my phone so I grab the thermometer and poke it in my mouth immediately and cut off the alarm at the same time.
 
I almost always wake up around 3:30 am to go to the bathroom, so I take mine then bc I know I will not get another 3 hours of noninterruptive sleep once I go back to bed.

i think the most important thing is to take it at the same time each morning and take it before getting up out of bed. Also make sure you've had at least 3 hours of sleep b/4.

Oh, and myn bbt has a memory for the last temp taken, so i don't have to worry about writing it down right then or remembering, which is nice.
 
Well i love the 6:30 temping but I think my house temp/fan makes my body to cool wen first awaking and so I've decided to take at 7:00 a.m. for more accurate.
 
Luckie does that mean you've got out of bed by 7 or you snooze in bed then take temp at 7?
 
I take mine between half 5 and 6, whatever time oh sets his alarm for to get up for work :) x
 
Thanks for the responses ladies, I think I will be looking at taking it at around 6.30am as my OH get's up at around this time. Who know's temping could be the one thing that gets me out of bed at a nice early time, I'm terrible for having lie-in's lol
 
Since I have a 9 1/2 month old who likes to wake my husband and I up early in the morning, I set my alarm to 4:00 AM every morning, even on my days off, to take my temp. I work 12 hour shifts (shift work), so that works best for me.

I put my thermometer underneath my pillow at night so when I wake up, I don't have to go digging in the drawer for it. My thermometer has a back light and a memory log, so when it's that early, I take my temp, look at it, then immediately fall back asleep. When I wake up, the temperature is still there and that's when I log it. Ain't it fun? Lol.
