A question on temping. please have a look.?

Question

I'm trying to figure out when the best time for me to take my temperature is. I sleep bundled up with the pillow over my head so when I wake up my temperature is always higher than normal. Should I wait 5-10 minutes for my temp to go down or take it right away even though it will be high?

Answer 1

As soon as you wake up, with minimal movement to reach your thermometer, no talking no nothing. And of course as close to the same time as possible EVERY day. Like previous answer you will still see a temp shift when taking it even if you sleep with a pillow on your head. Good luck.

Answer 2

It won't matter, take it immediately when you wake up.  You will still be able to see a temp shift after you've ovulated. Just be sure you temp at the same time each day.

For the answer above mine, I think she's talking about temping for a fever, not for BBT. You should always take your temp immediately upon waking or you temp will start climbing and you won't get an accurate result.

Answer 3

wait a few minutes but i don't think it would matter...that much if your not sure just try either way;-)

Answer 4

you should always wait at mostt 10-15 min no less than 5 after waking from under cover, eating or drinking hot or cold fluids.  it will always alter the results if you dont wait.
