Temperature taking at annual visit

At my gynecologist the nurse takes my temperature as part of checking the vital signs, and it's an oral temp.

No, the gyn not. but the GP usually asked and took notes what the ordinary temp is. And sometimes checked.

My wife has never had her temp taken at any gun appointment I've attended with her.

I can't ever recall a temperature being taken at an annual gyn exam, even if it was a complete well-woman physical exam.

At the gyn exams I've been to with my wife I have not seen her get her temperature taken.

My wife said they usually take her temperature in her ear and sometimes under her tongue.

My gyn does not take my temp. Of course if it was a play exam, I would want the doc to take my temp both rectally and vaginally, and I would have to put up a fuss...

The nurse always takes a tampanic temp (ear), BP, pulse/ox, weight and height on me.

For my wife,no.

My wife only gets temp taken if in for an illness

I read the various responses, primarily posted by males. That's OK. But for those women who responded and had their temperatures taken, and if it was rectally, was it while in stirrups, on your stomach or on your side, knees drawn up? And do you remember the rectal thermometer used? Was it glass mercury, digital or electronic probe type?

Though I ask the questions, from what I've read, it seems that the taking of temperatures by a gynecologist on his/her patients is rare, and if done, is primarily oral, by ear or in some cases, by scanning. A g/f of mine once told me when ill, and seeing her gynecologist, was given a rectal temperature taking, as opposed to oral which under normal circumstances for a routine (non sick visit) was the way it was obtained.
