Mouth breathers and BBT

karaknrkaraknr member
in Trying to Get Pregnant

My temps have been all OVER the place this cycle. At first I thought it mightve had something to do with my regular thermometer so I bought a BBT at CVS. However, that hasnt helped anything. They still seem to be wonky.

I breath through my mouth MOST nights when I sleep but every once in a while I breath through my nose. I was wondering if anyone knew if this could make a large difference in your waking temps. I temp at the same time every AM after consistent sleep. 

I am planning to switching to vaginal temping next cycle, but wanted to see if this could possibly be the cause of my whacked out chart and if anyone else had noticed this who was a mouth breather.

    Maybe I'm a mouth breather too... Because my temps are all over the place. I didn't think of that. I'm sorry I'm not much help but thank you for inlighting me of what my problem might be.

    My last to cycles are vaginal temping. I can't say if that's what has made them *prettier*, but they clearly show a shift. The 2ish cycles before that, I temped under my arm, which was much more reliable than temping orally. I am the WORST mouth breather and I wake up too congested to hold my breath long enough to temp.

    good luck!

    Thanks guys, it helps to know I am not alone in that haha. Guess that's what it is. It's kind of nice to have an answer and not just think my body is weird. Oh well, good to know for next cycle, I'll definitely do it vaginally.

    Yes, breathing through your mouth can make a difference. I do highly recommend temping vaginally.

    I breathe through my mouth and have jacked up temps... but I still can usually see a clear shift :)

    HEY PAPPS!

    yeah, Im hoping I will still see a clear shift, except I breath through my nose some nights and I think those nights are the higher temps. If I consistently breathed through my mouth I think it'd probably be better, but I dont. So I'm wondering if the switching back and forth is what did it?

    Thanks girl. I appreciate it. Going to start that next cycle. (Im afraid if I switch now it will just screw things up more.)

    PS. How is your brother doing? Is he coming home soon or is he already back?

    I have been a very, very, very bad temper this month, but usually when I temp, I close my mouth and breathe through my nose for like 10 seconds before I stick the BBT in and then I am sure to shove it all the way under my tongue and keep my mouth closed while temping.

    When I'm a good temper, I can see the shift, so I haven't switched to vaginal temping, since it hasn't been a problem. GL!

    thanks! I appreciate it. I hate breathing through my nose so I will probably just switch to Vag next cycle, but good to know for the rest of this cycle! Ill try that from now on.

    Ok so am I the only one who read that its is ok to breath through your mouth because thats what most people do at night

    All you need to do is to keep your mouth closed for 60 seconds before temping. Never had problems spotting my O
