Which end do you temp? :/

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I was checking out some BBT's on amazon and stocking up on Opk's for my next cycle (if it will ever get here already!) and I was thinking as I was reading: Where am I suppose to temp? 

I've read you can temp orally, vaginally or rectally. It seems like orally would be a little more convenient but vaginally would be more accurate? Was just wondering where you ladies are temping. lol This may be a ridiculous question...I don't know...but I'm asking anyways because one things for sure... you're always honest!

Thanks guys

    I temp orally. It's much easier for me. My temperatures fluctuate a lot (so FF tells me) but I can always see my clear O temp shift :)

    I temp vaginally.  I mouth-breathe sometimes so I feel it's more accurate for me.

    I temp orally too but my temps have been all over the place and I think I might be a mouth breather....so I may try vaginally this cycle.

    Just started temping vaginally (this is my second month charting). Last month, I was all over the place with my mouth breathing and I wear a mouth guard. So far, the temps seem to be much more consistent.

    I have always temped vaginally, I never have huge jumps in temps unless its really related to my cycle (ie O or AF)

    I temp orally because to be honest temping vaginally kinda freaks me out lol.. and I would never stick anything in my butt while i was conscious

    I started orally and my temps were all over the place so I switched to vaginally.  It kind of creeped me out at first too but now I prefer it.  (Although temping vaginally during AF is no fun, I'm not doing that).

    As an added bonus, temping vaginally (under the covers) muffles the loud beeping of my BBT so it doesn't bug DH.

     

    IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.
