Temping Q?

This is probably a stupid question but I just want to know how you other ladies do it...
When YH/SO wakes you up for morning sex, do you stop him and temp first or do you temp after and add a notation?
I temped after and my temp was still in the range of where its been the last few days so it made me curious.

What's morning sex? Crying (H hates morning sex)

ETA: If it worked for you with having sex first, I'd keep doing it that way and making the notation.

I just temp after. I don't think it would be very sexy to say wait a minute, let me stick this thermometer in my mouth. DH would be all I have something else to put there.

Obviously this, is this another excuse why temping just isn't working?

First...there is a difference in not getting it or understanding as I was trying to say. This second week has been much better as far as seeing patterns and after seeing other charts it made sense a little more to me. No I don't temp at the exact same time...the other morning I had to get up at 5:30. I temped like always. I never said the actual act of temping is hard...the timing is and so many stress that it needs to be done at the same time. So I was getting a little freaked out that my slight variances were going to make the chart impossible to read. I said I was new to this and didn't know what to expect.

Needless to say, my situation just made me curious to know how other ladies charted their temps in that situation. Or better yet, is it OK to just temp after?
So yeah, I didn't see anything about an excuse, did you?

You funny...I don't think anyone said sticking a BBT under their tongue or up their vag was difficult, yourself included.

Any temp after that level of activity would be completely unreliable so I would probably not even bother.

I would think that having sex would include lots of moving around and would raise your temperature.  Unless you're just laying there??

We generally only have morning sex on the weekends and most of the times I end up skipping temping that day.

I didn't temp right after. I gave myself a 30 min relaxation period in which I laid still eyes closed and breathed similar to sleep breathing before I actually temped.

My original statement still stands.

This.  If you don't temp right when you wake up it is pointless and unreliable.  You are recording your waking temperature, relaxing for 30 minutes after vigorous activity is nowhere near the same.  Either tell him to wait 60 seconds or skip the temp.
