    Another temping qn, Im having abreak from it now but will start soon unless I dont need to. Im a shift worker and have erratic temps as I just cant take them at the same time. I did oral as was told it didnt matter which you used but had to be consistent. Is it likely I will get less erratic temp vaginally??

    I only ever did it orally & it was very easy to see the temp shifts - including temp dips when implantation occurred.

    I was a shift worker too (QAS) and i took my temps vaginally - i found that they were alot more consitant taking them that way than anyother way!
    Goodluck with it all!

    Thanks for that girls, i hope we get a BFP this month or next but if not will have to give the temping another go. Might have more success than last time

    I am a shift worker and always took temp orally. Generally I would wake up anywhere from 5am - 8 am to go for a wee or because DH getting up so I would take temp before getting up and often wouldnt read it till i actually wake up and get up properly. No issues here
