Intravaginal temp!?

Question

I know this is wierd, but I read on some sites when you're trying to conceive, that you can chart your Basal temp intravaginally. I was wondering, if the temp is usually higher if you take it that way?

Answer 1

Yes, this is an option for charting BBT. And your vaginal temp is typically 1 degree higher than oral temp. Vaginal and rectal temps are usually the same.

Answer 2

It's usually higher when you take it that way, yes, but remember that when you are temping, you are looking for a pattern more than a certain temperature. Check out fertilityfriend.com. They have a lot of very useful information there.
