Temps after a sleepless night  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Thanks to a teething, cranky baby, and a sick, snoring husband, I haven't gotten much sleep lately. Yesterday my husband couldn't get me to wake up for a temperature reading at 7am, and I took it myself when I woke up two hours later. This morning my baby woke me up to nurse him at about 4:30am and I drifted in and out of sleep until my temperature was taken at 7am.

When this happens, are these temperatures even remotely reliable? Is it worth it to take them at all? I'm pretty new at NFP so I don't know if I'm going to make my chart completely unreliable by charting these temps.

when I have an interrupted nights sleep, I still temp and still chart it but make a note on my chart what was going on. some women's temps are more easily disturbed than others - I know from experience that I can get up 4 times to use the bathroom and it won't make much of a difference, but for someone else it might throw their chart for a loop.

Take your temp, chart it, make notes, and if it is way outside the bounds you can discard it.

This is me. I've been taking my temp all through the night to see if my temps are easily affected and they're not, but yours could be...
