Hopefully someone can help me to tell me if I need to mark something special on my chart for today's temp. I'm not really concerned with how low it is or anything, just wondering because of how odd of a morning I had!

First I woke up around 4am thinking I had heard DS fussing so I got up to go check on him and of course he was fine. It took a while to fall back asleep because apparently our neighbors get up at 4:30ish and they're loud. Around 5:30 DS really did start fussing so I asked DH to go pop in the paci and turn on his music player so I could temp in case I needed to be up permanently that time. My temp was 97.10 for that time (I usually temp at 6) and its still above coverline though it is a large dip from what I got yesterday. Ds ended up going back to sleep so I did the same. DH's alarm went off at 6:30 and just in case, I temped again and it was considerably different. I used the first temp on my chart anyway because it is closest to when I would have temped anyway, but after such a goofy few hours do I need to mark anything special or discard it?

Thank you in advance

honestly. yes your temp will be off. i think you did the right thing using the first temp on your chart, but make a note with the notes feature and mark it as sleep deprived and it will give you the open circle to say it is off slightly.
One bad temp wont interfere with your chart too much so dont be concerned with that. Just get back in the routine tomorrow!!
Good luck!

Hi! I'm Nikki, one of the hosts here.

I think you've done the right thing by entering the first temp. The only thing I would probably check off is the Sleep Deprived box, since you got less sleep than usual.

Overall, I think things are looking pretty good.

Best of Luck & Baby

Thanks for the replies and the dust!

I did mark sleep deprived on the symptoms page. I woke up feeling pretty good but now I'm ready to take a nap. I think this will be one of those days where DS and I just snooze on the couch for his nap!

Hi and thanks for stopping in. I am Carrie the other host here. I agree that marking as sleep deprived is all you should have to do!

Good luck

Everyone has already answered you, but I wanted to also say I would actually discard it...because even when i get up and just go pee in the middle of the night and right back to bed (the bathroom is really really close) my temp is still way off and lower than what it should be.

Good Luck!
