I also put this on the TTC board, IM not sure which one to put it on, BUT

im gonna try to make this short, IM CONFUSED!!!! last night me & DH had a few drinks, I woke up this morning at 2:30am, than went back to sleep & took my temp @ 6:00, which is past the 3 hour mark, the temp i got seemed high 98.58, i then fell back asleep till 7, hung out in bed for alittle while than took it again and it went down to 98.29, I am pretty sure i should to use the 1st temp, but from what I have been seeing when your up thelonger your awake, so im confused, it seems like wuite a big jumpo on my temps today mayeb that was caused by the few drinks I had? any help would be appreciated,im driving myself crazy with all the baby stuff
TIA

I was charting when I got PG. Obviously it worked!

Drinking will affect it somewhat, but it probably was affected also by getting up at 2:30pm. I know when I was taking my temp, I'd set my alarm for the same time everyday, and did not move, only my arm did to get the thermometer. I think it also depends on what time of the month you're on? That makes a difference too! I wouldn't worry too much about it... just use the first temp, mark it on the chart, and just see what you have tomorrow.

You have to use the temp that is closest to the usual time that you take your temp. If you wokeup at 2:30 and you took your temp at 6am, that gives your body enough time to regain 'restful temp'. If you usually take your temp at 6am then you are rght on the money. You HAVE to take it at the same time everyday, and just so you know, a drink or 2 would only affect your temp about 1/10 of a degree. If it stays up it looks like you have graduated from the ttc boards.
