I usually don't but I decided why not. I get up anyway. I want my chart to look prettier. LOL. Plus, I want to see what my temps look like during my wacky AF. I am hoping I have a more normal one this month instead of the forever long AFs I have been having.

Well it depends now that I started V temping it is hard to hard to do it during AF. I am going to try to temp evey day till Af. But next cycle I will not tempt till AF is over I only have a 4 day cycle so it should not mess my chart up to much.

You are so lucky. My AF used to be like that and now it goes on and on and on.

I V temp, so charting during AF is difficult. So I just don't. It makes my chart ugly anyhow.

Well I Am lucky to only have 4 day cycles but I tell you I did not think V temping during AF would be as hard as it was. I think I will just have a ugly chart from now on....lol

NO! I do not.

̀ve tried it but my temps are so high during af it really messes with my coverline later on. I dont seem to ovulate until late in my cycle anyways so I still get a good number of temps in before O comes...

Patti, sorry you have such long periods. I`m sure its TERRIBLE!

I do but I also don't V temp. I think it would drive me nuts to see some missing lines on my chart so that's mainly why I do it.

I do, because I don't trust myself to keep things straight if I don't.

When I chart, I don't temp during AF, just because it gives me a break from being neurotic, if that makes sense!

I do because once I'm in the habit of temping I can't get out of it again, and also if I stopped during AF I'd get out the habit and forget to temp when the witch went home!

Good point. I have that problem too sometimes. I have been trying to chart every day now.

I do just to keep myself on schedule and I like to see a full chart.

THis is only my third month charting and, yes, usually I will temp during af not least because I'm still a 'learner' and it's informative for me to see how my body behaves during my whole cycle...

That said, I couldn't temp this morning as I had a great night last night night involving lots of adult beverages and very very little sleep (about 4 hours in the end, but horrible quality - thanks redbull!). Eh, I'm prepared to lose a temp as I so rarely let go like that and who knows when I'll be able to again given that I hope to fall pregnant (let me just be clear, I'd never drink dring the ttw)
