If anyone can help me figure out which temp to use, I'd be grateful:

I'm 4 DPO. I normally try to take my temp at 4:15 AM. I went to bed last night around midnight. I woke up around 1:30 AM and was awake for 2 to 3 minutes before falling back to sleep (I didn't get out of bed). Then, I woke up again at 3:20 AM when DH got home from work. I took my temp and got 97.8, which is 0.1 degree higher than my temp yesterday. We talked for a few minutes and then I fell back to sleep. Since I was awake so close to my normal 4:15 AM time, I didn't bother temping at 4:15. I then fell back to sleep and woke up at 8:15AM. I took my temp again at 8:15 and I got 98.2.

My question is which temp should I use? The 3:30 AM temp of 97.8 or the 8:15 AM temp of 98.2? I'm leaning towards the 97.8 simply b/c it's lower and was taken at closer to my regular time (even though I didn't have 3 solid hours of sleep before I took it).


Any thoughts?

Thank you!

I would use the 320 temp, BUT adjust it to your waking time.

So the adjusted temp would be 98.0 and also mark on your chart that you had a sleep distrubance.

I would keep the 97.8 and the time for 3:30am.

I would keep the 3:30 temp and if your using FF, check off sleep deprived. It'll give you an open circle for that temp.
