Re: temp ques-confused all you charters HELP
first off, it sounds like you aren't using a Basal Thermometer (I am missing a word here, but I forget what it is) There is a special thermometer you are supposed to use for charting temps.
The alcohol will definitely raise your temperature, which could be the reason for the higher temperature. Perhaps as the alcohol wore off your temperature dropped??? How important is this particular temperature, are you near ovulation time in your cycle? You might want to just skip todays temp, or put it in, but with a note 'unsure' and wait to see what tomorrows temperature is.
A great site to help with this: Fertility Friend They have chat boards like this one to help you.
Good luck!
Remember that the most important part of taking your temp is taking it at the SAME time each day! I even set my alarm on weekends to take it. Don't even get up to pee or roll over a lot or anything
