Are all your temps at the same time? If not do you adjust them?

No, I don't temp at the same time because I wake up when Erin wakes up and she wakes up at different times. How would I adjust it? I just haven't listed the times the temps were taken. (although the last several were between 6:30 & 7am)


Gah, I hate this. It's only made me more confused. I'm thinking about stopping because it honestly hasn't helped at all. If you go by my cervix/cm, I ovulated either cd 15 or cd 21 and the temps haven't reflected that.

Yeah they won't line up if you take them at different times and don't adjust. You add .1 for every half hour you woke up earlier than your "Set temp time", and subtract for every half hour after that time. But you can't use it if the time is more than 90 minutes from your normal set time. I hate FF they confuse me!

If I were having a 28 day cycle then I'd be starting AF today...no sign of her.


I just wish my body would figure itself out already.


As for taking temps at the same time...well...sometimes she wakes up as late as 9 and I'm NOT going to wake myself up earlier just to take my temp. And I don't feel like doing the math for adjusting. I don't have any clue what my set time is anyway.

you don't have to do math lol, just go to data on the sidebar on FF, and you will find temp corrector. You just put in your usual wake up time and then your temp and the time you woke up. Its really easy

are you still breastfeeding? have you had a normal period since having Erin? you chart just may be all over the place because it is post partum.

No, I'm not breastfeeding. I haven't since December (I think the very last time I nursed her was on the 28th). I've had two periods since then, one on Feb. 4th and one on March 21.

Except that I don't have a usual wake up time. I don't have a normal bedtime either, so even if I woke up the same time in the morning I don't go to sleep the same time at night, so I wouldn't be sleeping the same amount.

You're talking to someone who never does anything the same time every day. When I was on bcp and thyroid medication I didn't take either of them the same time every day either.

It doesn't matter what time you go to bed, as long as you have 3 hrs sleep before temping.

Then why does it matter what time you wake up, as long as you have 3hrs of sleep before temping?

Hey guess what lady!! I think youre gonna get AF this weekend or monday at the latest. Yup, i said it, and Im sticking to it.

Your dip and everything looks like mine last month and i read that youll get that dip, and your body has a temp spike the next day to try to get the egg to implant, then it is all downhill from there. Thats exactly what happened to me last month, thats why they say even if u have a dip it might not be implantation and u can still not be pg.

Hope your cycle ends this weekend
