oh yeah, Sarah me and another lady did some experimenting when we were temping together. We'd take three temps, one after the other, and average them cos they'd vary hugely, even when done within seconds of each other. Turns out oral temperature taking isn't at all accurate, and a few mm to one side will change the temp quite a lot; our mouths are far more open to the elements and therefore do vary quite a lot. I heard that rectal is the most accurate (ahhh, no thanks) and vaginal is next best... A lot of women do it vaginally to get a better reading, and to eliminate those big saw-tooth patterns that show up in oral temp taking. I had one lady on another forum argue with me that oral temp taking was useless for charting and vaginal was the only option. Vaginal is NOT an option for me I'm afraid, and oral temps still showed a definite 'trend' and showed my ovulation totally fine without needing to go vaginal thankyouverymuch. lol! But something to consider anyway... ad to keep in mind when doing oral temps and getting big saw-tooth patterns like I did too! lol.
But in saying that, your second temp was still below the coverline (96.12 is 35.62 according to google. Your coverline is over 36.) so I still don't know that the average of three (or more) temps would take you above the coverline anyway... So it doesn't look so hopeful with such a big drop...
I LOVED temping though. Well, not the actual remembering to temp thing, but the whole chart thing where I could follow the pattern and see for sure what my body was doing!! I'm glad you're going to keep it up!
Dew; yay for good results!!! When are the next tests done?
Sheryl, love the crib! And a good price!! woooot.
Once you have the crib everything seems so much more real... I tend to go and just stand in the nursery and look around. It's so neat!
Baby, we'll miss you! But have fun, and do try to keep us posted from time to time!!! When do you get home again??
I hope everyone else is doing well... I'm doing great as it's saturday so only have a couple of dogs to do then I'm off to a local dog show to enjoy the rest of the day. And I actually SLEPT last night! ALL night!!! Ohh man I dunno when the last time I managed that was, it was awesome to wake up at 5am and still be in the same (comfy) position I fell asleep in! Bliss. So I'm feeling much more perky this morning! lol.
Mothers day tomorrow, does anyone have any plans?? I'm not going to see my mum but I'll give her a txt in the morning and probably a phone call later in the day.
this time next year WE will all be the mums!!!!
you're flying through this pregnancy! 
as I'm still keepign fingers crossed that this is your month!! 
that makes much more sense.... I am clueless! 
Thanks hun! xx
