Just wondering what your thoughts are. I usually take my temp at 615-630 every morning. This morning I woke up at 6:30am, and then fell asleep with it in my mouth. I then woke up at 7:10am with it st ill in my mouth.

Do you think I should discard my temp? If you have a look at my chart, I actually thought I O'd yesterday, but my temp rise today wasnt near high enough to confirm that..dont you think? I am totally annoyed that I stuffed up my temperature taking this morning... right around O time... grrrr...

woudl love to know your thoughts....

Did it turn off? Mine turns off after 2 minutes, and when you turn it back on shows the last temp - if that is the case then I would take the temp and add it to your chart.

If you did ovulate yesterday I think that temp rise is okay - I know mine takes 2 days to go over the coverline as its progesterone that rises your temp and that takes a day or 2 to affect your temps to have a rise.

Thanks Shellby,

I actually have a mercury thermometer so it doesn't 'turn off'.

Suppose have no choice but to just 'wait n see'... sigh...
