Also I think that you have to take the temps at the same time as the first one on your chart, or else the circles will be open. So like if CD1 was at a 5:30, but the last three were all at 6:30, they're still going to be open circles even though you have three in a row being at the same time. (Because they're not the same time as CD1.)

THAT might be the issue!!!
ETA - I tested...and yes that is the issue. the past 3 temps were 5:00....But the first 2 and the other solid circle....They were 4:00
ssm have you gone to GKU? Those ladies are a lot more knowledgable than I am.
I've lurked some. But, I'm scurd to intro. ::shame face:: I am not technically ttc until the 24th. So, I feel kinda like i don't belong...does that make sense? or am i just being ridiculous?
Currently, I am completely confused why the last 3 circles are open...They were all taken at the same exact time. So, I'm very confused about that.... Before that, there were definitely odd times thanks to B waking up motn. and orally temping.
If you're still getting erratic temps, you could try switching to vag temping. Especially if you snore or sleep with your mouth open. But it's more the pattern that you want to try and see, not individual temps.
I'm going to sound pathetic...But, I'm really creeped out by vag temping. and the logistics. Like, I would have to stand up...Take off my pants to temp? doesn't that defy the whole resting temp? or am I completely overcomplicating the issue?
There are lots of people that are preparing to TTC. You'll be ok. I'm not even over there a lot (thanks, Larry) but I've intro'd and feel comfortable asking/answering questions.

Lol. I think you can just stick the thermometer down your pants while you're laying in bed. That should be logistically possible unless you're wearing jeans or something to bed.

OMG, I didn't really think temping vaginally was a thing! I am dying laughing, I don't know why. Every time I saw it on TTGP I thought it was similar to when someone would ask about their CM and the response would be about tasting it.

Don't be scurred. I intro'd over there recently and I'm not TTC anytime soon. Just do it.

I was scurred too. I just feel like its such a well established group already.... but obviously I am sure people are coming and going. I just always find those board hard to just JUMP in because I feel so lost and can't/don't have time to keep up
There are certain D13 people who I hope never make their way over here, one in particular is a reg on another board but I don't know if she knows we are here.
I'm really surprised it hasn't happened yet, right?

I am giggling like a little kid.
Open mouth sleepers have to do it to get an accurate chart. I am glad I am not one of those people.

Makes sense. I should have known as much but only temped for one month.
ssm go to bed without pants and take the temp in bed
Easier access for when you start TTC.
I guess I should go for broke and figure out this whole sleep naked thing. Makes it even easier
But what about my sheets and blankets? After the parenting FFFC, I'm insanely creeped out by the thought of dirty covers. Sheesh. I'm doing laundry tonight and tomorrow. All the things need washing! Otherwise I'm going to be too paranoid to sleep.
