BBT storage...

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I have a question as to where you ladies keep your BBT? I live on the east coast and right now are experiencing some killer heat, which unfortunately DH can't handle, so the AC has been on for the last few days. I have been keeping my BBT out on my night stand, for easy temping, at 4:55a when the alarm goes off for the gym, buuuut, the temps seem really low, that I am not sure if the AC might be affecting it? because the thermometer itself is cold to start with, should i put it in the drawer.. what do you ladies do?

    I live in the south as well (Georgia) and I have always just kept mine on the nightstand next to my bed so i can grab it as quickly as possible.  I dont even ever put it in the cover... oops.  We always have the AC and a fan on at night (at least since it's been hot.. but this is Georgia so it's pretty much always hot) and I haven't noticed a difference and have seen a clear shift.

    My BBT also sits on my night stand so I can grab it easily. It gets rather hot here in Missouri, so we have to crank the AC. I honestly haven't noticed anything with my temps. 

    What are your temps? Have you gone through a full cycle temping yet? I'm just wondering if you were able to see a temp shift.

    My temps for a few days were 97.23, then up to 97.75, and 97.85, then back down to 97.35 and 97.32. To answer your question, no I haven't gone through a full cycle, I am just trying to get the hang of it, and want to be sure silly little things like AC and other external factors could mess it up. We will begin actively trying next month, but I want to take this month to get the kinks out of this whole temping stuff. Sorry if it sounds silly.

    I keep mine on the nightstand too, in its case. However my temps have been kind low too (97.33-97.49 on average but I just started temping and am only one cd12 so who knows); my hubby cranks the A/C to 72 at night and the bedroom fan on full blast (it's freezing in our house- not my choice) so I wonder if that is affecting mine too? Thanks for bringing this up... Anyone else?

    . These temps don't seem low to me at all. These are my normal before I ovulate. I'm always at 97.2 to 97.4 with some higher random spikes before ovulation and then 97.4 to 98.2 after ovulation

    Yep, these aren't low temps. All of mine have been in the 96's and low 97's.

    I agree these temps seem typical. It may make sense when you can see it played out when you finish a cycle. I'm sure I thought the same thing when I first started temping a few years ago.

    Mine's right next to my phone on the nightstand.

    Those temps don't seem low to me. We have an air system that switches automatically between A/C and heat as needed. When the seasons are changing, my temps don't differ any more than when we are in the middle of summer or winter.

    Thanks everyone! I did just finish AF this go round, so some of the spikes might be from that? I was reading other threads that indicated lots of ladies actually don't temp during AF. I guess I will have to wait out the whole cycle, and hope i see the big picture. Thanks again!

    Mine is on top of my iphone so when the alarm goes off I cant forget to temp since the alarm is on my phone.  We have the AC on at night and it has been super humid during the day.  

    It should not bother your thermometer since it is digital and it is off.  I would not think it would bother it at all.
