Tracking with bbt

[lockdownbabyx]

I already have 2 DC and hoping to conceive our 3rd. Im currently going through a miscarriage but we're keen to try again ASAP.
Before I had kids I tracked my cycle by BBT and it was super accurate. I want to do the same now to track ovulation however I know you're supposed to do it when you first wake up and before you get up or move around. My problem is, I get woken up by my 2 children every morning and obviously get up to tend to them straight away. How do people accurately track their BBT in this situation? 😁

Not that I have done this but could you set an alarm? Eg if your dc wakes you up at 6:30am set it for 6-6:15am? There is still a risk that you get interrupted, plus any earlier and you are sacrificing extra sleep.

I saw some people use ovusense which I think is vaginal? I don’t know much about it though.

I used bbt to get pregnant with my eldest. I was still up countless times in the night with him when I was ttc number 2. I thought the bbt wouldn't work but I tried it anyway. I just took it as soon as I was awake enough to think "oh I'm awake, I should take my temperature". It wasn't the neatest chart but it did show a clear temp shift.

With number three I couldn't find my thermometer so I just eyeballed it using when I'd roughly ovulated (approx day 16) from years of bbt tracking. Made sure to dtd daily until cm dried up and no more ovulation pain too. Luckily fell pregnant before my new thermometer even arrived in the post.

You can get the oura ring or ovusense. Still measuring bbt takes less than a minute, I’m sure your kids would wait for you.
