Basal Temp Charting - Orally or Vaginally?

Hello! 

I'm just starting to chart my BBT after being on Implanon BC Implant for 5 years--just removed on July 24th.  

I'll temp for the first time in the morning but I've read a lot of mixed info.  Just curious how most of you temp: Vaginally or Orally?  Or does it really matter?

Thanks!

    Personal preference, but I do it orally. I'm not a mouth breather though, so it works for me.

    I've always done orally and gotten good results.

    Thanks for the replies.  I think I'll start charting with oral temps first.

    @dragonmom35‌ My thoughts exactly after reading up on a few different brands of thermometers. I'm one of those nerds who reads reviews on everything and so many women were saying they were charting their vaginal temps. So then I thought maybe I was crazy for thinking you all were doing it orally.. hahaha! Glad I asked. :D

    I temp orally with a digital thermometer intended for fevers and it is still really easy for me to tell what is going on.

    I take my temp orally and have had no problems with it.  You need to take your temp at the same time each morning without talking, drinking, or getting out of bed first.  Also, you should get a full night's sleep (or at least 4 hours) prior to taking your temp.  Just keep in mind that certain things can throw off your temp, such as illness, medication, alcohol, stress, and traveling, so make note of that on your chart.  Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a great resource if you're new to BBT.
