[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again...thanks for the thoughtful feedback. I temp between 5:15-6:15 am and I sometimes use the restroom up to an hour or two before I get up. The thermometer is right next to my bed and I use my cell phone light to input the data. Can even an hour make a difference and the batheoom break make much of a difference? I haven't seen much advice on how much flexibility there is in temping.

Thanks again![/quote]

yes- it can make a big difference.  It can render your temp data  worthless.   Note however- it just makes your data worthless- it doesn't impact your fertility.

How much flexibility there is on timing varies somewhat from woman to woman.  It sounds like it is making a big difference for you.
Here is my advice-  only consider valid those temps that are taken within 15 mins (5:15-5:30).   Do not consider it a valid temp if you did not have 3 hrs of uninterrupted sleep before you temp'd-- If you are using FF you can check 'discard my temperature'.   If you are doing it by hand- record it, but don't draw a line with it (make it a bubble).

Pay more attention to your cervical fluids.

If your main goal is TTC (vs awareness about your cycle)- I would recommend BD's every other day from day 10-day20.   Depending on how old you are If you go three-6mos like that without conceiving, then look more deeply into a possible issue.[/quote]
