Taking Temperature

Hi, Just checking when taking temperature for ovulation, what type of thermometer you all use, by putting in the mouth, or put it into the ear, or other better method? Pls advise.

I use a digital basal body thermometer.

Hey,

Sorry, I brought a few last time, but have no idea if it is a digital basal body thermometer.
I have one which I put it in my mouth, there is another one which I thk is for baby because it is put into the ear.

Just wonder, which is more accurate because both give me a different reading. Pls advise.

I have never tracked my temp but when I went to CVS to buy my OPKs last month I noticed in that section of the store they had an actual BBT thermometer.  It was around $10.  I think the BBT thermometers are better because they take your temp to the hundredth degree and not just to the tenth (98.66 vs 98.6) so it's more accurate at picking up subtle changes.

Hope that helps!
