R.I.P Basal Thermometer

I think she's dead. Doesn't really make sense, since she is only, what, 3 or 4 months old, but she just isn't reporting temps very accurately anymore. Either that, or there is something wrong with me. Temps of 35.96 every day for the past week. I doubt that my temperature is that stable. Anyway, that just reaffirms my decision (or non decision, since it just kinda happened) to not temp any more. After temping for 8 months, I have found that my cycles are pretty darn regular. And my CM does a pretty good job of letting me know what's going on too.
Was that too much? I feel like that might have been too much.

I told my mom about this link, but I am not sure if she has been here or not.

Ah well. So, no more waking up at 5am to temp. It was more of a hassle than one might think. At 5am I would sometimes fall back asleep with the thermo in my mouth, and then it would fall out, and then the temp wouldn't' be accurate. Or I would be a bit stuffy in the morning and unable to breath through my nose, so it would be hard to temp accurately. Or my temp would drop, indicating that I was about to start a new cycle, and it would dash my hopes. Temping is no fun.
Step away from the thermometer.
I'm finally able to.

Phew.

Congrats on freeing yourself!!
We have been "tracking" by the CM method lately. Not that we expect any results but...you never know!
