When I started temping to bought a small BD digital thermo. which wold read very low temps(95.5-96.8). I receently purchased a thermoscan thermo. which takes you temp via the ear instead of the mouth. form what I have heard, the ear gives you a more accurate temp. I was just wondering if this is really true. It just seems odd that these two thermo. would give you such different temps. Any thoughts?

hi, i've heard ear thermometers aren't good for temping. that is according to a book i've been reading - taking charge of your fertility by toni weschler. not sure why not though.

I have the same book. I am not sure which one to use. I took my temp theis morning and it read 96.2 with the BD thermo. and 97.4 with the ear thermo. I just want to make sure I am ovulating and w. a low temp that could mena an indication that I am not.

I would stick to the basic thermometers that you put in your mouth that are specifically for your BBT. They are found next to the pregnancy tests at CVS.
