Morning Rectal Temps

Hi all!

Every morning, my bottom takes the thermometer for about 10-15 minutes and then another thermometer in my bottom immediately follows to check for accuracy and to compare. I administer the temps myself as I do not have anyone to assist. Does anyone else do the same on a daily basis? While taking the thermometer, I am on my stomach or couch. What are your morning procedures and do you have someone assisting? How long does your bottom hold thermometer each time before removing?

I am a 72 years old French retired lawyer and I enjoyed a lot your post about your rectal temperature routine.

I have had a strong rectal temperature fetish thoughout my life and most of my girlfriends have shared this strange addiction.

In my late twenties, I had a long standing relation with a smart language student who was very much into medfet. She had set the rule that, every time we were to have sex, she would impose on me a comprehensive medical exam. This mock exam allways ended with her taking my rectal temperature on her lap. I was in Heaven.

More recently, for several years, I had a strong relation with a ladyfriend who was as much into rectal temperature as s myself. When the Covid erupted, she insisted on moving with me in my place, pretending to take care of me, at risk with the virus, due to my age. She then decided that we would take eachover's rectal temperature on our lap, every day, first thing in the morning. This morning routine, keeping the thermometer inserted for 10 to 15 minutes, often turned into sex preliminaries.

My girlfriend dumped me 3 years ago and since then I have been alone to take my temperature. It is less fun than having someone do it for you. I take my rectal temperature about once a week. Keeping the thermometer inserted 10 to 15 minutes, I close my eyes and try to remember the good memories of my various rectal temperature sessions.

As a matter of facts, I have come to consider rectal temperature taking as a way of making love, and a very intimate one. Of course, it has to be recioprocal, you take my temperature, I take yours.

Before I was married, I took my temperature rectally every morning and every night. Because my wife gives me flack about it, and the fact that she’s always home before I leave for work, my temperature taking pleasures are barely once a week . And she always adds that no normal adult takes their temperature rectally, and that I need to get some psychological help.

My morning routines on working days (when my partner gets up first) is to take my rectal temperature after waking up. I insert a Geratherm Basal glass thermometer for 5 minutes while laying on my side. My temp is usually around 36,4 C / 97,5 F.

I take my temp while shaving, many times, this is while standing up in the bathroom. 🌡🧴️🧻️

Laura41, I take mine every morning when I wake up. I have 2 thermometers that I check with, one after another, then record the average temperature of the 2. The I also take my BP, and Pulse Ox and record those numbers too.

I also do the same thing at night just before going to bed. At night sometimes I have to be a little more careful, as I have on several occasions fallen asleep with the thermometer deeply inserted.

Actually started taking mine a while back before I go to work

At 9:40 AM today, 11/12 I had a Red Flash glass mercury thermometer up my rectum getting my temperature taken. Held in place by a warm hand across my buttocks between two of her fingers. Was good as the instrument started to come out but got tapped back in.

The woman was my massage therapist a lovely mature late 30s lady.

I thought she might balk, as I asked directly if she would take my temperature before the massage. All she said was she needed gloves. Have them, gave her the box, she took a pair out.

As I laid face down on the table she lowered my briefs. She took the thermometer ( obviously no stranger to glass types) held it up, read it shook it down read it again then dipped it in a jar of Vaseline.

Seconds later her fingers spread my cheeks and slowly pushed the bulb against my anus then slipped it into my rectum for five minutes.

I looked at the wall clock…9:40 AM. After 5 mins. she removed the thermometer. Wiped it off, said my temperature was 98.8F.

She also gave an awesome massage too!

During my chart days, my husband takes my basal rectal temp while I am still in bed in the morning. We are trying for our second child. Wish us luck! -Gabi

Years ago when we were trying for a second pregnancy we went thru the morning temp routine too. While we were not successful, I still wish you the best of luck. ~Chris

That sounds great. Usually I do not have the time in the morning to take my rectal temperatire as acuraately as you do.

I admire your discipline cencerning rectal temperature taking. Does the second thermometer also stay in your bottom for 10-15 minutes?

How big is the difference between the two measurements in general? Do you keep a record of your rectally measured temperatures?

Actually, I took my rectal temperature this more which was 36.5 celsius.

RN here. We also took the basal temp when trying to get pregnant. It worked. Dr said mouth or rectal were both the same. But he didn't get to insert the thermometer. In bed in AM seems logical because the body hasn't warmed up from muscle movement. And it requires a special thermometer because the temp increase at ovulation is very slight.

@FieberPo yes, each reading is the same time with same results. I do this to also check the thermometers since they're the old glass ones. I do keep a daily log as well.

I admire your discipline doing this. The routine takes some time. However, wehn I want a really acurate rectal temperature reading with a glass thermometer, I also leave inside of my bottom for at least 10 minutes. Addiotinally, I agrees to your other perspective to the subject, namely, contant chscks of the thermomters invilved.

How many years does your record of your rectal temperature morning routine (Do you apprive the abbreviartion RRTMR?) date back?

@FieberPo i have logs back 2 yeard. Each year I purge and old one. Logging my rectal temp goes back to my childhood from my mother and grandmother; they always kept logs of everyone's every thing medical from temps, to dr visits, mecications etc.

Do you take your rectal temperature that regularly only in the morning or also at other times during the day?

Do the logs help you to recognise sicknesses at an earlier stage?

@FieberPo, yes the logs do help me to identify changes in my baseline temp that could be due to an oncoming illness or a current happening. I take my temp atleast 2 times a day but more if I can.
