I had a horrible time sleeping last night so when I work up at 4:20 am (my usual temping time) to take my temp I had just barely or right at 3 hours of poor sleep. I also had been sleeping with my mouth open. My temp was unusually low (97.01) for only 2dpo. I feel back a sleep for about an hour and woke up and took my temp again. During this time my mouth was close. My temp was 97.77 which seems a bit more realistic. I am unsure what temp I should use? Any suggestions? I have done so well charting this cycle and would hate a crappy nights sleep to mess it up.
Thanks!

That's a toughie-- I'm more inclined to go with your first temp, just because it was the one you got with the most sleep. It's obviously pretty low, and that's because of mouth breathing, I'm guessing, but your + OPKs and CM will also factor in to FF being able to pinpoint your O date, even if you have to toss away today's temp.

Just as an aside, I've had much better luck (and FF has actually given me real crosshairs the past couple cycles) with temping vaginally rather than orally. Just something small you can change to make it a bit easier to interpret your chart (yeah, sticking a cold thermometer up there isn't my first choice of things to do right when I wake up, either! )

I would probably go with the second temp as long as you didn't get a lot of disturbed sleep between the two temps. I've also been known to not chart a temp if I feel like they are inaccurate, so I guess that too is an option. I hate it when I wake up and have been mouth breathing! Blah!
