So I don't go into work until noon 3 days a week and then i get up for 8ish the other 2 days so i decided to set my alarm for 640 in the morning to temp... problem is i'm always getting up between 4 and 5 to pee! Is this messing up my temps?? I know you should be sleeping for like 3 hours or something before you temp?? but is it okay to get up to pee? i try and hold it but then i'll just wake up closer to 6:40 to have to pee. But i don't know if i should be temping quick before i use the bathoom or if that is gonna mess me up to because it's not my normal time!

if i was you I would temp when you go to the loo, as you're supposed to have 3hrs of uninterrupted sleep, as getting up and moving, changes you're temp.

For the past 4days I've had to get up between 1am and 2am, instead of 3am for work, so the temps are a little off. I've set my temp time as 3am daily, and for the fertility moniter, as thats the best time, to do everything, if I'm not working, I'll just go back to sleep, and wake up at 7ish

You want to take your temp before you do ANYTHING else! If you can't stay in bed until your temp time, then I would advise you to take your temp before you get out of bed to use the bathroom.

When you log your temp for that day, make sure you change the time in FF and mark Sleep Deprived. You will be given an Open Circle on your chart for that day.

With a little luck, you'll still see your thermal shift.

I thought that if you change the time, from your set default time, that FF automatically gives you open circles, at least that what its done to mine

It does... but it's good to get into the habit of marking Sleep Deprived as well, just to be sure.

Ok, at least I'm not going mad, guess being up at 1am has muddled my thinking,
