BabyMad Basal Thermometer ( How to use)

[BritishDesiGirl]

Hi,

I've just purchased one of these instructions say to put into the heat pocket of my mouth?

Is it advised to be used first thing in the morning? Do l need to keep still and not move much when using it?

Anything else l should know? Thanks

You need to pop it under your tongue as far back as it goes and turn on BEFORE you get up out of bed or sit up, at the same time each morning but there is an allowance of +/- 2hr of your 'normal' wake up time. So in the week I take my temp at 0630 and at the weekend it is usually 0730/0800. You should also only measure if you have a clear 3-4 hours sleep window. If I wake up and need the loo at 0500 (for example) I'll take my temperature then.

The one I use I keep right next to my bed, when the alarm goes off reach over and pop it straight under my tongue, turn on, wait for it to go off and then remove. The thermometer I have allows me to recheck the last temp if I turn it back on for a short period of time.

Good luck!
