I was wondering if I could asking those of you who follow the FAM method (either for contraception or other wise) a couple of questions. I have started charting about a week ago and have a couple of questions.
1. How long do you wait before you take your temp in the morning? I have been starting to chart, and have my therm by the bed. As soon as I wake up, I give myself a couple of minutes before I open my eyes and then take my temp. This morning I was half awake for about 5 minutes before I took it. Is this ok? Should I be taking it as soon as I am half awake?
2. I have a digital basal thermometer, but the beep is annoying, especially when I am half asleep and if DF is asleep. Is there such thing as a vibrating thermometer? I was thinking a vibrating one would be great as it would let me know when it had finished taking my temperature, without waking us up. A manual thermometer wouldn''t let me know when it had finished taking my temp.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
