Since my daughter does not get up at the same time everyday (she's usually my alarm when I am not temping) it's hard to pick a time to temp.
The last week I've been doing it anytime between 5am and 6am.. I know that's a huge time period.
I set my alarm for 6am this morning, and lo and behold she gets up at 5am. I immediately took my temp.

So, anyway.. some of the temps I took at 6am. Should I discard all those and just keep the ones I took at 5am??

I wouldn't discard them. The days that you wake early, mark it as Sleep Deprived and change the time in FF. That way you'll be able to differentiate between temps taken at the proper time and those that were too early.

Well FF has a temp adjuster that you can use but I find that when I V temp it is not as big a deal if I am off a little. I am not sure if you are wantin to do that or not but it really helped me.

You can use a temp adjuster if you want.

I tend to leave mine as they are, because I never know if I can really trust the adjuster or not, ya know?

I don't adjust my temps either. I think your chart is more accurate if you just leave them alone and go with open circles, but that is just my opinion.

I have the same issue because of my little one (who shouldn't still be waking me up but she does.) I set my alarm for 6 but sometimes I get woken up at 5. I just take my temp and put it as an open circle. I am trying not to have so many open circles but my charts usually have quite a few. It is kind of out of my control so I just don't worry about it. I can still tell when I ovulate even with all the open circles so I think you will be fine too.
