HELP! I can't get 3 hrs sleep in a row ...

... for accurate temping!

Between ds waking me and my own self waking me up, I haven't been able to get 3 hours of sleep in a row since I bought my thermometer about a week ago. I've been taking my temp once in the middle of the night and once in the morning. How much higher than my true basal body temp could these temps be? I'm wondering because my temps have ranged from 98.2 to 98.7 (seemingly in the post-ovulation range) and I've had dryish cervical conditions for about 1.5 weeks, so I'm hoping that I ovulated.

Thanks!

When I don't get three hours of sleep at a time in any night, my temps are sometimes ok and sometimes way off the pattern. What I try to do is just take my temp the first time I wake up, I used to try taking temps each time I woke, and just got more confused. Then I mark them as questionable - at the end of your cycle you will be able to look back at them and see which ones make sense.
