Hello Everyone.
I'm new to temping and charting and got my Basel Thermometer yesterday. I have decided to take my temperature vaginally as I have read that you get a more accurate reading that way. So I wake up this morning, still half asleep, inserted the thermometer waited for the beeping. When I removed it the temp reading was 36.67. Tried to go back to sleep but i was awake now, so turned the thermometer on again and the saved reading was 36.50 (probably 10 mins later). So my question is, which reading do I take for my chart. Also am i leaving the thermometer in long enough (I wait until it beeps at me) or do i need to leave it in longer.
Many thanks in advance
