My lurking days are over!

     Hi, I have lurked for 6 months and I am now ready to join the fun. My husband and I have been ttc for the last few cycles, and we are now in our 6th month of trying,( I went off the pill in May) so early days still. We are both 27 and have been married for almost 3 years and have one fur baby.

     I have to admit at this time I am not temping due to the fact that I wake up a few times during the night so, correct me if I am wrong, temping will probably not work for me. I do try to casually monitor my CM but, it is more me noticing it then actually charting it. I, for the time being , am taking a more casual approach to ttc because we are still new to journey. On the plus side my periods are very regular so, I figure why borrow trouble for now.

     I am happy to be here since we have not told anybody that we are ttc so yay, I finally get to talk about it! With all that said I do solemnly swear to never ask if I am pregnant, I will use grammar and spelling to the best of my abilities, and I will never make one of those "woe is me, it's cd1" posts. I have lurked here long enough to already hate the posts you all hate.

P.S. I probably should have joined sooner as I am in my 2ww so if this is the month I promise to quietly slide over to 1st-tri and not be the drive-by a**hole

Welcome!

I'd try temping anyway... Lots of nights I wake up 2-3 times, but at 6am my temp is still in the same range...  It's good information to have!

Hello! I am a recently converted lurker as well.

I haven't even been here as long as you have but with regard to charting, as long as you're getting three hours of uninterrupted sleep at the end of which you can temp, I think you could try temping. I just started temping this month which is my 3rd cycle TTC. My periods are also very regular but I wanted to confirm that I was ovulating. As far as CM, I only make note of my EWCM, which for me only coincides with O, I don't get it any other time of the month.

FX that this is your month!

Hurr?

That isn't fantastic advice.

OP, what is the earliest you generally wake up at night? Is it at least three hours from the time you fall asleep? If so, set your alarm for that time, temp, and reset your alarm for the time you need to get up for work (or if you can set two alarms, do that). 

Welcome & GL!

I generally wake up at 3 am and I go to sleep at about 10pm . But after I wake up at 3 I will fall back asleep and wake up at 5am, so strange I know. hmm so it's only 3 hours?

Welcome and GL! 

I've heard that as long as you have had at least 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep, you should still be able to temp.

I would set my alarm for 3:00 AM then and take my temp at that time every morning and then go back to sleep and have a second alarm to get up later.

Welcome!  I'm fairly new here too and just getting into the whole charting thing.  I've just started temping this weekend with the start of a new cycle, it'll be interesting I'm sure because I'm pretty much an insomniac most of the time, I have very irregular sleeping patterns and wake up at random times throughout many nights...until I go about a week with crappy sleep like that and sleep like a log for a night or two to catch up.  I'm almost always guaranteed at least a few hours in a row at some point in the night, just not always consistent with when that'll be, and invariably I have to get up at least once in the night to go pee, but I figure I'll just always temp the first time I wake up after a good solid few hours of sleep regardless if it's the same time every day, and see how that goes.  A little info about my temp tendencies should be better than none!  :)
