Vaginal temps vs. oral temps

[Lacey_Unne]

I have a question real quick.

I usually do oral temps, but I have heard that vaginal temps are more consistent and reliable. I would like to try taking my tempt his way for this cycle, but would like to hear from other ladies who have tried both, what did you like, what didn't you like about either or oral temps or vaginal temps.

Thanks

Well, I haven't temped vaginally, but I have read and heard that as long as you do it one way consistant it doesn't matter which way you temp. You should still see the shift in temperatures both ways, which is all most people are looking for. I hope someone who has done both answers you soon. :)

The vaginal temping can be very helpful to woman that have breathing problems which cause them to breath through their mouth during the night. Last cycle I had one night when my nose was all stuffed up and my temp was way off b/c of that. I can see how if happened often I would need to switch to vaginal. Alwayssmile is correct that it does need to be one way or the other.

When I was temping I started using oral temps, but because I sleep with my mouth open my temps were all over the place. The next cycle I switched to vaginal and my temps were right in line. For me it worked great and that was the month I got pregnant. However, you want to start at the begining of a cycle since it will mess your temps up. Vaginal temps are a higher temp compared to orally. Good luck.
