Hi girls, i just started temping this week for the 1st time and ive done a little bit of reading about it and i think i might not be doing this right some days i wake up with hubby at 5:30 i go out for a smoke and go to the loo then jump back i n to bed till Aidan wakes up witch is around 7:30 then i do my temp its not everyday that i get up with hubby just sometimes, if im geting up at 5:30 walking around for 5 min then going back to bed and sleeping till 7:30ish will that change my temps at all? and my text Q is...thoses who know thay dont ovulate how did you find out that you didnt O?

I think it would probably be better if you took your temps at 5.30am.

Usually, you would know that you are not Oing because you wouldn't see a noticeable rise in temperature to signify that O has occurred. Have a look at my chart to see what I mean. You'll see that temps are low in the period before O and then rise and stay high after O. If your temps stay about the same all month, then its probably likely that O is not occurring.

i think they say you need to have about 4 hours of sleep before you take your temps in the morning. I have always stayed in bed, even if i wake up an hour before my alarm and need to go to the toilet, I just hold it! :D

I take my temps at 5:45am every day, its when i get up to get ready for work during the week and on weekends i just wake up, take it and go back to sleep again!

As Chicken said, you soon know when you have not ovulated... have a look at my first chart (link below, click the drop down box where it says 'Overview' and 'Cycle'), you will see I went about 160 days without Oing, I only did in the end becuase of Clomid. FF even cut out the first 80 days of my chart because it couldnt fit it on the screen it was so long! :laughing:
