So, as mentioned in a previous post, I was considering taking a temp break. This past weekend, I felt like it was the right choice. It would be a great time to put down the darned thermometer, take a step back, and relax (as much as possible) during this cycle.
Yeah... well, that didn't work.
Or, I should say, it didn't work for long. Two days. I was only able to put down the thermometer for two days. I talked myself around. I was still planning to use OPKs and monitor CM on FF. In my head, I was going to be logging into FF almost daily and I could just imagine that blank chart staring at me. Taunting me. Asking me why I hadn't just picked up the thermometer and taken my temps. It only takes a minute. Who doesn't have a minute? I decided I couldn't do it. The siren of the temps called me back.
You better be worth it temps. You better be worth it. Oh, and don't let me down when my sleep schedule shifts and I start drinking like a fish over the holidays. kthanksbye.
Every cycle I like to say I'm going to not temp after I confirm o, but I just can't do it. I may take a day or two off during the first few weeks of my cycle as well, but I can't totally give it up. I like the control that goes with it.
