Best Route For a Bbt Reading Posted: 02-10-06 18:09pm
:?: what would be or is considered the
most reliable route for taking a basal
body temperature? Is it rectally, orally
or is it also done vaginally? I know the
thermometers that are out there for this
are gradiated differently than fever
thermometers, and that now they're also
available as digital models as well as the
glass type (note: I am aware of the
concerns about mercury).
I spoke with my girlfriend on this, and I
was very honest, I told her, I suspected,
though didn't know that like a fever
thermometer reading, rectally is most
accurate. I realize the use of a
thermometer rectally may not be her
particular preference. Any info,
comments or thoughts on this?
