November 20, 2020 at 5:12 amI am 32 and my husband and I are TTC actively for about 3 months now. This is my first month closely charting. In TCOYF it states that temps should be taken after three consecutive hours of sleep. Often times I begin to stir around 5:50 am If I wake up around 5:50 am and have not had any wake ups in the previous 3 hours should I take and record my BBT then even when my alarms set for 7am? As consistent with the info in the text temps taken later on the morning due to sounder sleep that night are higher.I'm attributing outlier temp spikes on nights of restless sleep like on 11/2 and 11/19 to not meeting the consecutive 3 hr sleep rule.Is thatfair?

If you wake up at 5:50 am it would be better for you to take your temp then, then try to go back to sleep for another hour. Your temperature will get warmer, in general, the later you take them in the morning. It's pretty common to see your temps fluctutate a little but daily,throughout your cycle. Your chart looks great. There is a clear thermal shift and your temps have sttayed at a new higher range.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
