yes sleeping with your mouth open makes a big difference and ff suggests if you sleep with your mouth open to take your tamp vaginally maybe next month if af shows take your temp vaginally and see if there is a difference xxx

here ya go from FF Q&A

I notice lower temperatures when I sleep with my mouth open or when I breathe through my mouth at night. Is this normal? What should I do about these temperatures?

When you sleep with your mouth open or breathe through your mouth at night, you may notice that your basal body temperatures are lower than usual. This is not unusual but there is really no way to correct the chart to account for this. If this happens only occasionally (due to nasal congestion with a cold for example) this should not have much impact on your chart. Simply make a note of the circumstances so that you will remember why that temperature seems out of place. One or two unusual temperature points will not usually affect your chart interpretation. You will still likely be able to see your ovulation pattern

yeah so if af comes ( which im hoping she doesnt ) then after af, try take your temp vaginally but you need to stick with it for the entire cycle and you need to insert it the same depth into your vagina each day xxx

How to take the BBT?
You can either take your BBT orally or vaginally.
Leta3 says:
I took mine vaginally the first cycle, this cycle I switched to orally, my temps are eratic no matter which way I take them. I switched to orally taking them when my waking temps were so high. They ranged from 98.4 - 98.6. That made my cover-line 98.7. I thought with the high waking temps that I had a thyroid problem. Doctor even did some blood work. It was just that I didn't know what a big difference it was between the 2. Taking my temps orally they range from 97.4 to 97.9 post Ovulation. Just wanted to let you know so that if you do, dont be surprised if they are high

EileenB says:
I've done both. I switched to vaginally about 3 cycles ago. I prefer it, first of all because I have a tendency to sleep with my mouth open, which ruins the accuracy of an oral reading right after you wake up (how do you know if your mouth was open or closed if you were asleep?). Secondly, I saw that my temps tended to CREEP up orally, but vaginally I get a consistently quick reading, usually in about 40 seconds. Plus, you can fall asleep without having the thermometer drop out of your mouth! Much more comfortable too.

When to take the BBT?
Dawn says:
First thing in the morning. Do not move, do not get up to pee, do nothing but pop the thermometer in your mouth or vaginally, if that's your preference.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------










What if I wake up early?
Add 1/10 of a degree for every half hour that you wake up earlier than your usual time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




What if I wake up late?
Subtract 1/10 of a degree for every half hour that you sleep over your usual time.



***************** Should I keep that temp or ditch it????????????

I have only been up alittle over 35 minutes and it is 98.2 SHOT ME NOW lol

FF Q&A

I have heard that temping vaginally is more accurate than temping orally. Should I try it?

Most people are able to see their ovulation pattern clearly enough while temping orally. When temperatures are very rocky and ovulation cannot be detected, it is usually due to poor temperature-taking habits (especially not taking the temperature at the same time). If you are certain that you are taking your temperature accurately and you are still getting a great deal of fluctuation, you may find it helpful to take your temperature vaginally. If you plan to take your temperature vaginally, wait for a new cycle to start. Do not change from oral to vaginal readings within the same cycle as this will disrupt your interpretation since vaginal temps are typically higher than oral temperatures. To take your temperature vaginally, just insert the tip of the thermometer into your vagina in the morning and record your temperature as usual.
