Just prepare everything that you may need and make sure you will do it in the morning. And to facilitate your task, signup to Cyclendar.com, a tool that will help to keep track of your BBT.

How to take BBT

Taking your BBT should be the first thing you do in the morning, the same time every morning. You will need a conventional mercury, digital or special BBT thermometer. You can take the temperature vaginally, anally or orally, just do it consistently. Do not round the readings, for instance, if your readings are 98.15, take them down as 98.15.

Various factors like stress, drugs, illness and so on can influence the accuracy of basal body temperature, if you are not sure that the temperature is accurate, take down a note about that.

Not BBT only chart

Besides the obvious requirement of marking menstruation days on your basal temperature chart, you also need to keep track of other things, including cervical mucus and cervical position, as well as some other information. This will give you a full picture and the more accurate result.
