I woke up around 4:30-5am due to cramps and back ache. I took my temp at 5:30, just in case. It was 96.?? (it's written down, upstairs). So, it's an obvious huge temp dip...makes me think AF should be arriving any minute now. I still kept my alarm for my usual 6:30 temp alarm. Took it - 97.42? (after 30-45 minutes of sleep, after finally taking Aleve) Either way, the temp is a full degree different. Huge in the world of temping.

Do I go with the 5:30 temp or the 6:30? I'm unsure to which is more important - first temp after waking up or at the same time of day?

BTW - I tested, and it was a BFN. I just hope AF finally arrives soon. I'm tired of these freaking cramps and pains and nothing to show for it.

perhaps throw it out or check sleep deprived for today's temp... it could be implantation tho!!! All those cramps sound like it could be either?!

I'd use the 5:30 temp and mark "sleep deprived". I don't think either temp would be accurate since you didn't sleep very well. I hope you get a better sleep tonight!
