I cut/paste this from a post, can't remember whose, what do you think?

I woke up at 6am, took my temp & it was 96.8.  I usually take temp at 8:00am, and the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" says if you oversleep, subtract 1/10th of a degree for each half hour.  So if you wake up early, I would think you add 1/10th degree for each half hour?  So my estimates were, to keep the temp in line with waking up at 8am, that I should record 97.2 since from 6am-8am is 2hrs., so add 4/10ths of a degree bringing 96.8 to 97.2.  Well, I went back to sleep and woke up at 8:00am, re-took my temp and it was 97.4, but DH had also put the heater on. 

 I rarely wake up at the same time bec. i have a 2yr old who wakes up thru the night sometimes and wakes up between 530 and 8a and on top of that, I have problems falling/staying asleep to get the recommended 3 solid hours in a row especialy when he wakes up at 530 and I fell asleep at 245a..should i choose that temp corrector thing on FF?  I could have sworn there was a place to indicate a usual wakeup time, maybe it was the tcoyf software I had for free trial-getting confused...does FF adjust for 2hour or more diff. in times for temps or should I just use the above to adjust it?  or let FF adjust it by choosing the temp correct.?

 

HElp!  lol

ajazmin:

what are crosshairs?  I read it on ff, but don't know what they are.  oh today, i had a major low vag-172, i don't htink ive had one that low in the last 2mths since i used vag sensor.  the lowest ive ever had was day 15 from last cycle and it was 188.  do you think that means something...maybe my vag high will come soon?

Crosshairs is when FF gives you the horizontal and vertical lines that make a T and show what day they put you at O.  Sometimes they can be dotted or solid.  Dotted just means you must have not taken your temp at the right time. 

I think the low can be promising.  I would expect it to now rise to 15% or more to confirm O.  Do you have O symptoms??

I would ask this temp question in gender swaying with a new title because others can help with this.  Most will not see your question in this post.  I am not the temp expert mainly because my temps don't match up a lot.  I trust my Cue more....

hi..i have the cue 2 also and I do my oral at 8am and my vag at night-11p-1am..so going by this, how would I do the O+12 or O+20?  when you say wait until o was confirmed, do you mean by temp, by OPK or by Vag rise(Cue)?

My temps never match up to my Cue readings(my vag rise) or my OPK, I think I'd prefer to go by the cue and OPK vs the temp, what do you suggest!?
