This is what I found on this site:

Quote:

Typically, pre-ovulatory temperatures range from 97.0 to 97.6, although there is a wide range of "normal" temperatures.

So, the 97.3 doesn't seem so abnormal...but I'm not quite sure about the 93.3. My lowest temps are usually around when I O and I haven't (yet) been any lower than in the 96 degree range.

I would say you read it wrong (does it have a memory feature)? My temps are super low and the lowest I get is 96. Good luck!

My guess is you read the thermometer wrong. If you had a temp that low you would be having severe hypothermia or dead (I am really not sure if your temp could even get that low).

The other possibility is that your thermometer is broken.

@ Patty! I was thinking the same thing!! I actually said out loud "Can you have a temp that low and still be alive?"

I normally range between 97 and 99 degrees. I noticed i seem to "run hot".

Yup, I think you had to of read it wrong. I found this on wikpedia.

Generally anything under 95 F is considered life-threatening and rewarming should be by medical supervision. A healthy adult can withstand temperature drop much more than can the elderly or children. Infants and neonates are notorious for hypothermia, especially in the case of childbirth outside the hospital. Heart dysrhythmias are common as the core body temperature drops, and medical intervention (Paramedics/Emergency Room) can mean the difference between life and death.
Please don't take risks with your length of exposure to cold. One of the first signs of hypothermia is an altered level of consciousness, occasionally manifesting as an unwillingness to move from the cold environment.

Get one that has a memory so you don't have to read it until you really get up and can turn on the light! GL!!
