Well tomorrow will be cycle day 33, which is when it came the last 2 months and today Ive been really crampy so I think the witch is on her way. Heres to next month.

Question about temping, can I use a digital thermometer to take my temp orally or would I be able to use the ear thermometer or do I have to do it vaginally...

Thanks ladies. I know Im a pest but I really appreiate your input.

Lolly

I read not to use the ear because its not accurate, as for the digital yes you can. They sell BBT digital thermometers, but I read you can use a reg one as long as it goes by .1 tenth(so it goes 97.0, 97.1, 97.2) and doesnt go by .2 tenths(97.0, 97.2, 97.4)
As for how you do it its up to you. I started out with oral but noticed it was more rocky so I went to vaginal and truthfully dont see a different expect the vaginal is higher.

NO ear thermometer, it just isn't accurate enough to determine O. I do it orally, but oral or vag is up to you individually. Good Luck!

I temp orally. Too many kids around here that'll grab my thermometer for me to temp vaginally. Some people find more stable results vaginally. It's really up to you, just try to stick with one or the other.

I temp orally just because that's my individual preference.
