Recording your rectal temperature readings

Do you record your rectal temperature readings ?

No, I don't do that.

I just started to do that, at my Dr's request.

I know that our mom recorded our rectal temperature's religiously; my sister found the note book where she wrote it all down, while she was going through a bunch of her old papers.

I observe any changes, but never recorded them.

I use the Health app on my iPhone to track them

When I was a child and a teen, my dad did it. He took excel to plot a curve, which could be shown to my pediatrician

We are trying for our second child, so it's back to basal temperatures, taken rectally, for my plump behind. My husband charts my temps every morning.

Yes, it gets recorded by the Kinsa app if I took it with the Kinsa smart thermometer

I've found the Kinsa thermometer to be unreliable at best. I think 8 seconds just isn't long enough for a consistently accurate reading. I have a 30 second digital thermometer that seems to work well enough for most uses as well as a glass one that I prefer if I have time for it. Both of those read within 0.2° of each other but the Kinsa can be a full degree different sometimes.

Yes I do I have a excel spreadsheet to record my rectal temp

If I’m feeling really under the weather, yes I note my temperature readings.

Yes when sick. I ask my patients to temp hourly when I’ll till the fever is broken for 24 hrs

As posted on this site, for ten years, I had an intense relation with a ladyfriend who was as much into rectal temperature as myself. We took our temperatures a lot, especially after the COVID crisis erupted and Deborah insisted to move into my appartment to take care of me, at risk with the virus at 68. We decided then that we would take our rectal temperature every day, first thing in the morning, on eachover' s lap. And so we did for about two years and had a lot of fun with it. Deborah recorded all our temperature readings on her phone. During this period, we also had a lot of sex, including anal and oral, and I had the feeling my girlfriend was quite happy with my performances in bed. May be I was wrong ?

One day of May 2021, Deborah sudently dumped me. One evening, she came to me as I was reading. She just said : ‘’I can't stand it anymore, I go back to my place ‘’. She added; ''I am sick and tired of being the nurse of an old hypocondriac pervert. I cant stand anyimore your flappy cock when you pretend to fuck me. ‘’

I was so astonished I did not know what to say. She had never complained about my sex performances. She threw a pile of paper sheets to my face and said: ‘’' As I am a good girl , I leave you a present, the record of our temperature readings since we have been living together, so you can masturbate on them''. She left, the door banged.

Deborah had left me with the complete printed record of our temperature takings over ten years, with details such as date and hour or how long the thermometer was inserted and the circonstances. For instance, she had noted where she had been running along her before/after temperature readings when she went out jogging.

First, I did not want to look at Deborah's document. A few days later, temptation was too strong and I started browsing though the pages. Memories started to come to my mind, I remembered various temperature session, how well Deborah had played with the thermometer in my ass in these occasions, how good it felt. I quickly started to have an erection and to cry like a stupid romantic teenager.

Actually? I took a picture of my readings recently and sent them to my nurse GF. I caught “a variant” (finally) from my son, MIL, and ex wife on Christmas Eve. 105 fever. No other symptoms. Then last Thurs I got a stomach bug and 102 fever. So I took a picture in comparison between temporal temperature with digital scanner and RT from mercury thermometer. Yeah…98.5 on the digital temporal. 102 on the RT. This is why RT is the gold standard for me and why I only use mercury thermometers. Don't trust the new fangled technology. Very innaccurate and unreliable plus batteries go dead after like 5 to 6 uses.

Not every time. Only if i'm sick, but if just taking an RT for fun then I cannot see the point to record it atm.

When I think about it… I recall temperature taking in hospital, but I don't know if the nurses always recorded the temperatures or they just watched for fever.
