I just got a positive opk and don't want my chart to get all messed up. I forgot all about daylight savings and took my temp this morning at 5am like usual (but it was actually six since the time changed). TCOYF had a schedule to follow for DST but unfortunately I didn't put my temps in there for a couple days so I didn't see the schedule in time. Now I am not sure what to do tomorrow. I was thinking I would take my temp at 4:30 tomorrow instead of five but if I do that should I adjust it since it would have been 5:30 or just put an open circle.

Do you think this is a good plan or do you have some other ideas for handling DST?

I'm not sure, I have two weeks before I have to worry though!

I know i posted this in AIP, but i thought you might see if here first.

This is what FF said!

Do I have to do anything special to chart my BBT when the time changes for Daylight Saving Time?

The effect of Daylight Saving Time (DST) on your temperature is usually limited to the day of the change because you adjust quite quickly. In addition, the exact effect depends strongly on your own metabolism. Some people will see no effect at all while others will see a slight change (increase or decrease). Because in general having one temperature slightly off will not change your chart interpretation, Fertility Friend's recommendation is to record your temperature as usual without correcting it in any manner. We recommend that you keep taking the temp at the same time. If you took it at 6 in the morning before the change, then take it at 6 in the morning after the change.
