Should I discard this temp?

[BabyMae09]

I usually wake around 7-7:30 am and take my temp while still in bed. But this morning, I got up at about 7am and went to the bathroom. I don't know why I didn't temp beforehand. So after that, I just went back to bed, thinking, in my sleepy stupor, that I'd do it 'later'. About 7:55am, I got up again and turned the fan on because DH was making noise. I also turned the space heater off because my room was really warm. THEN I got back in bed and temp'ed. It was also later than normal by at least 25-45 minutes. My temp was .2 degrees higher than it's been so far this cycle, and I think between the heater, getting up, etc, was what raised it. Also, I may be slightly sick - I've felt kind of 'off' all week. So should I discard? If not, why? Can I just adjust it down a couple tenths of a degree? If not, why not? TIA

usually you don't discard temps unless somethign extreme like fever or thermometer error/battery problem etc... You can change the time you took it and FF will add it as an open circle on your chart so you will know if that temp is playing a really important role in your cycle, what the circumstances were on that day and hopefully it won't make a big difference (ie/ is it just a temp in your LP? Or could it potentially be O day??)

I would personally disregard.

what CD are you? I would also disregard--if I get up out of bed before taking my temp, I just don't take it for that day. One missing temp usually isn't a big deal.

I vote to discard it, too. Funny, I was reading here to decide the same thing - and think I am going to discard my high temp today b/c it was later than usual, and I had got up to pee before taking it.
