Basal/ vaginal temperature

I've taken a vaginal temperature in some play scenes, typically if the patient isn't up for a rectal temp.

I think it a good idea to monitor it, so you can track the female's cycle.

Then there is a technical assessment to determine the time of ovulation or impending bleeds.

Vaginal temperature? Only for play exams. The rectum is two inches away. In RL rectal is used instead.

^^^ I guess some just get it arse about

Yep. Bass ackwards.

^^^ LOL -- good cum back

I do remember something called a Basil Ovulation Test that was based on body temperature, but never knew that it was based on vaginal temperature. My younger sister is a pediatrician so if I can get up the nerve I'll ask her.

I didn't know that taking a vaginal temperature was any big thing. That is how I take my own temp when necessary, it just seems cleaner than rectal and it is easier than holding a thermometer in my mouth. As others have pointed out, "It's only two inches away."

Yes this is a good procedure as it is very sensual and temps can be calculated to a higher degree of accuracy due to the scale on the basal thermometer.

Never tried a vaginal temp.. only in the bum

Yes, bum is better place for thermometer stay in.

Higher accuracy than what?

Rectal and vaginal are the same.

ORAL is just fine also.

The thermometer is a centimeter different in location deep in the body between vaginal and rectal.

The important thing is to take the temperature at the same time, the same way every day looking for fertile days.

I've used it in conjunction with oral and rectal temps...the female patients said they found it arousing. It's actually quite helpful if you want to check the temperature during an enema session. Obviously, you wouldn't want to do rectal, given the water temps, etc., but basal/vaginal is still accurate and more arousing/embarrassing than an oral temp in that case. I also use it to measure temperature after the patient achieves orgasm.

When we were planning to have kids, my mother suggested the basal temperature method. When I was growing up, rectal temperatures were always taken, even in high school- and beyond. My gyno's nurse even suggested rectally, when I asked her. So, every morning of my chart days, Mike rolled me over onto my tummy. Then he pulled my pj's pants down and spread my bare bottom cheeks for the basal thermometer. To answer a previous posting here- basal is more accurate because the Farenheit thermometers are graduated in tenths of a degree, as opposed to mom's rectal fever thermometer, which was in two tenths. My baseline rectal temperature, by the way, was 98.4 degrees, while still in bed in the morning. By the way, we now have 2 grown kids, thanks to all of those 6AM rectal temps!

I am a married thirty year old woman, who is trying to conceive. Right now, we are following the basal body temperature chart. Like others here, my temperature is taken rectally every morning of my chart days with a mercury basal thermometer. It belonged to my mother. Mom had 5 kids, including me, so we hope it brings us luck. If I can get pregnant with the aid of basal temps, all I have to say to myself is- forget the red face cheeks and turn up the other set of bare pale cheeks!. -Gabi

You want to know the best way to get pregnant?

FUCK WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT

and stay lying down in bed on your back for a good 15 minutes so the semen doesn't drip out down your leg.

You don't need any thermometer or instrumentation.

You WILL get pregnant if you have good eggs and a good uterus.

If you are having a hard time getting pregnant, it is a good idea to have your husband tested to see if he has sufficient good sperm.

I'm lucky, I fell pregnant easily each time and didn't need to track my cycle or moniter temp. I honestly think best way if no medical issue for subfertility is just to relax and enjoy having lots of sex when ever you want. Don't only "book" sexy time when your thermometer tells you to.

Each time we tried for one it wasn't a mission statemen. I came off the pill and we carried on having our normal (for us) sex life.

I've had friends essentially give up having tried all sorts of things to full pregnant when the pressure was off.

Yes a vaginal temperature would be important it be nice also the feeling
