Basal Temp tracking advice please?

Hi, just wondering how you get an accurate temperature? As soon as I wake, I do my temp, but sometimes there is a difference depending on how I have woken up, e.g this morning when I woke i had the covers right up to my ears when i took my temp and it was higher so i pulled the covers down a bit and did it again and it was about the average it has been. It doesn't seem like a big difference but when i then input that to fertility friend and click the chart it does a big spike so i feel I have to retest.

Basically I just would like to know how and when others do their temperature to make sure it's accurate and to have that level line throughout cycle so that ov is noticeable.

Thank you.

I found the bbt really hard when I was ttc last. I just went with the temp I got and along with my ovulation tests I could usually see when I ovulated.

Funnily, the month I fell pregnant my bbt readings made my app tell me I hadn't ovulated that month 😅 so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think getting an accurate reading is tough, just try to go sameish time and straight away before you move

@lemonZestDribbles I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, yes, it is really quite complicated. I will try to worry less about it then, thank you 🙂
