Help! Which temp should I record?

Hi!!

This morning I woke up several times on and off because my partner was snoring. It was over an hour of tossing and turning and probably more time spent awake than not. I was also shoving him a bit so was moving around 😂

I eventually grabbed my thermometer at about 7.45am. Temp was 36.67.

Then I fell back into a really deep undisturbed sleep. I woke up an hour later at 8.45am. I thought I’d temp again mainly out of interest, fully expecting it to be higher and to just use the first temp, but it was 36.49!

Question is - should I record the lower temp cause that’s more reflective of BBT? It’s also closer to my usual time. I would usually always record the first temp but as the second is lower, it feels more accurate?

I’ve never done a second temp (sometimes I’ll do it out of interest, but always record first temp) and had it be lower than the first!

I usually record my temp as close to 8.30am as possible (don’t judge, I work from home 😂).

I usually wouldn’t be so bothered about one temp, but it feels like a pivotal time as want to work out if I’m having another estrogen surge or not. Or implantation dip but I know the existence of that is controversial and is usually just caused by estrogen.

Chart shows lower temp recorded.

Thank you!! 💜

I'd go with first temp, always. You may well have bad your mouth open for second sleep, bringing temp down. If you Google BBT temp adjuster online, you can put in your temp and your normal wake up time. It'll predict what it would have likely been. It took 18 months to conceive my first child with a mmc in between, so I had a good 15 months of doing bbt.
