do you have a link to your chart? Are your temps all over the place? I had a couple of cycles like the one you described, but my temps weren't too crazy even if I was temping at all different hours. Sometimes it makes a difference and sometimes it doesn't.
Do you have a link? I find even if I switch a few hours, the temps might erratically jmp by 0.2 or so, but the temp shift of 0.5 is definitely noticeable!
Go to the sharing button on the sidebar and it'll pop up a mini-menu that you can choose 'home page setup' and it will give you the url to your chart there. :)
Your temps tues-Fri am look more or less regular. I would guess monday is out of whack because you are still messed up from the weekend. You might want to consider simply not temping on the nights you stay up late

I have not been able to successfully check my cervix/CM @ cervix at all. I don't think I know what I'm supposed to be feeling there.
Waking myself up at 6:30 on karaoke weekends would probably be a good idea. I was so focussed on 5 and how that wouldn't work, but you're right. 5-6:30 isn't that big a difference. At least it would be a much closer range for the chart.
TCOYF reckons that temps rise by 0.1 deg for every half hour you sleep in past your usual temping time, so yes, 0.3 deg would be enough of a difference to confuse the chart. In practice, it seems that this affects some women (me, for instance) but not others. About the only way to tell is through personal experience. Similarly, I can get away with going to the loo or answering the door for the post in the morning, as long as it's at least half an hour before I temp, and can also manage on very broken sleep or lying dozing in bed before I temp, where many women can't.
Since you're TTC, it's not the end of the world if you make mistakes. I was also wondering about OPKs or whatever other people like as backup methods.
Your temps are a bit on the low side, any chance you have thyroid problems?
Yes, my thyroid is hypo. I'm on meds for it, but I have yet to see a temp shift. Though, perhaps that has to do with how early I am taking my temp now. My last cycle temps were slightly higher.

Thanks!
We're TTC.
