Because of daylight savings, I keep waking up before my alarm on most days so my temps are off by like 20-40mins here and there.
If I do a temp adjust, the temps are more reflective of previous cycles; the curve is smoother, but I'm inclined to leave it be, because it's only a 40 min difference, which would increase my temp by approx. .1-.2 per temp, so not huge.
I can still see a curve, but it it's just rockier I guess. Is it more accurate to enter temps at varying times or to adjust them when they are too early?
Also, because of the time chance as well, (I assume??) my temps overall have been lower this month. What's crazy is they are taking pretty much the exact same pattern as my two other charted cycles, just lower by a few .1. Crazy!

I didn't adjust, I honestly forgot about the fall back and was an hour off. The temp wasn't too much off and during a part of the cycle where it wouldn't have mattered anyways.

I've never used the temp adjust. If I temp within an hour of my normal time, I leave it as is. I haven't found it to make enough of a difference that it would be necessary.
But I guess I also don't pay enough attention to my actual patterns from cycle to cycle. I only take notice of my temp shift. I obsess enough about ttc as it is!

Yup. I kind of figured. Very interesting stuff. I also think I am officially a slow riser btw I've never seen a spike. It rises, but it's not dramatic.
I never used temp adjust. I just let FF put the open circle on the days I didn't wake up at the same time (which was a lot of them). But I could still see a clear temp shift each month.
And? Your body takes one day to adjust to an hour time difference. So if you fly from NY to LA, it will take three days for your body to adjust. A one hour time change may affect the next days temps, but shouldn't have any effect beyond that.
