Now that I temp vaginally, I can clearly see the months that I ovulate (dips, peaks, etc) and the months that I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1807062 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:36:05 +0000 kiddosc 1807062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My temps were low, but they still showed a consistent pattern. Which was all that mattered to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1807058 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:30:24 +0000 Anya 1807058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal temping! So much easier to chart </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1807056 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:21:07 +0000 LAZB 1807056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a mouth breather, so I always temped vaginally. It really wasn't a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1807051 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:02:35 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1807051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a mouth breather and never had a problem with temping. I would keep my mouth closed for a couple minutes and then do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1807013 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 11:58:12 +0000 lilyofthewest 1807013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first couple months of charting were kinda messy because I didn't realize that on my thermometer, the beep just meant it was done being sure I didn't have a fever. It actually took another 90s to 2m to get a completely accurate temp. So, maybe look at the directions on your thermometer? (I use the Geratherm Basal)</p> <p>After figuring that out, I also switched over to vaginal temping, because sometimes I would doze off again for a little while waiting for the thermometer and it would come out of the little pocket under my tongue or even out of my mouth completely. </p> <p>Since those two changes, my temps were much, much easier to interpret. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1807000 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 11:41:31 +0000 autumnlove 1807000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KelLeeLeee: @Mrs.Pinecone316: thanks, not sure if I will try that yet but it is good info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1806962 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 10:32:50 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1806962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: My acupuncturist told me to check my temp intravaginally if that sort of thing happens. It wasn't fun but my temps were WAY more reliable and consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1806959 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 10:28:38 +0000 MrsKRB 1806959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am too, my temps are usually high 96/low 97. You can try temping vaginally to get more accurate results if that's something you're okay with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mouth-breathing-and-bbt#post-1806952 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 10:09:37 +0000 autumnlove 1806952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you a mouth breather at night? I am a drooler and mouth breather and my temps seem kinda low in the morning. I just started charting this week and I'm still trying to figure out my normal! </p>
