I'm so dumb - I thought they were supposed to be done vaginally. That's how I always did them. I am a mouth breather, though, when I sleep, so I knew that those temps would be inaccurate.
My temps are really low in the am - using the rule that it's one degree hotter than if you were doing it orally, I run 96.0-96.5 usually. Obviously it reads 97.0-97.5. I know that as soon as I'm up, my temp is up. When I first started temping, I thought something was wrong with me for my temps running sooooo low (esp. when I wake up feeling hot!) There have been times I've taken it, and retested just to see ( I have an addictive personality) and the number has been up by .5 degrees! I will average the 2 numbers then. This cycle, I'm just doing the first number and that is it!
My advice - don't worry and don't retemp - you'll drive yourself crazy LOL I did!
