My thermometer has been giving me fits for the last few weeks (it is brand new this month). Last night, I was fiddling around with it to see if I took out the battery and placed it back in, if it would make it work properly. I never got the battery our, but somehow I ended up changing the setting from F to C!!! But, after that, it worked great so I left it alone just figuring I could convert the temp each day.

But this AM, my temp was 37.50 C which converted to 99.5 F!! I would Love LOve LOVE LOVE to claim this temp cause it makes things look really nice for me on my chart, but I am afraid it is not valid. What do you think? Oh, I didn't wake up "hot" or anything, I slept quite comfortably last night. I would think with a temp like that you would be pretty warm or hot.

Honest opinions only please, I am at the end of my 2ww and fragile!

Wow! That is a high temp.

If I'm being honest, and that is what you asked for... I would think something is up with that temp.

I say this only because you said you woke up and didn't really feel hot or warm, right? My temp this morning was 98.67 and as soon as I opened my eyes this morning I knew my temp was gonna be up because I FELT really warm, ya know?

That being said... I do still think the rest of your chart looks really excellent. Hopefully tomorrow's temp is a bit less... odd.

Im going to stick with Nikki.
We have a tendency to lean towards the things that make us feel better about our chart.

I would take my temp a couple times during the day with it to see if it still seems wonkey.

I gues you have to wait and see what tomorrow's temp says but then again if yout thermometer is messed up that might not be the best option.

Once you turn on the thermometer before it flashes ready to take your temp push and hold the button again. That is how I make mine swich from F to C

Wow, yea that temp is higher than a "good" temp. Its either not right, or your getting sick...and you didnt mention feeling sick so im sure something is messed up with your thermometer!
