Hey all
Just thinking about taking my temp every morning and i heard you can take your temp vaginally. Does any one do this?? I am getting wierd temps and i think its because of me breathing through my mouth when i do the temp. Thanks  ------------- TTC Sept08 July10 FS APP ICSI#1 BFN-No frosties ICSI#2 BFN-2 Frosties FET-8th August - BFP 20/8/12 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hi Emma,
I havent tried temping Vaginally - nor do I want to ! I do however mouth breath and find my temps consistant and show OV everytime. I pop the BBT under my tounge and breath through my nose untill it beeps.  ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I have always taken my temp orally but vaginally is far more accurate ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

LB, i was doing that and when i looked at them when i got up they seemed to be rather low. So i figure if i want to do things right, i will have to make sure my temps are as accurate as they can be! ------------- TTC Sept08 July10 FS APP ICSI#1 BFN-No frosties ICSI#2 BFN-2 Frosties FET-8th August - BFP 20/8/12 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

If you mouth breath your temps are generally low anyway as the room temp can effect it alittle.
If you take your temp at the same time every morning with as little movement as possible and after 3 hrs solid sleep it should be pretty accurate ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I notice that I mouth breathe only when I'm stuffed up from allergies or a cold.
On the days I don't, my 3 temps are fairly close together... On the days I do, my first one can be 0.1 celcius less than my second two which are generally close together... I dont' mind doing the 3 temps as it takes me that long from waking up to getting out of bed anyways.... DH isn't impressed with the constant beeping first thing in the morning though ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| The instructions that came with my BBT said if you are a mouth breather, then close your mouth for 4 mins before putting the BBT into your mouth. Let's hope you can breath a little thru your nose in this time! |

Hey girls,
I'm about to start Temping but the only trouble is I can't find a battery to fit my BBT Thermometer. I brought it off Baby4you a few years ago. Any ideas where to look? It takes a CR41?? Or something like that. |
