Has anyone measured badal body temperature to see if they have conceived after ovulation?
Can you do it vaginally?

Maybe move this from arts and crafts to pregnancy for more answers op.
Also, I have never heard of taking a temperature via the vagina, can you not just do it in the usual spots?

You do need to move this thread.

To track BBT you need to take your temperature on waking every day throughout your cycle. If you do that you will see a shift from low temperatures (before ovulation) to higher temperatures (after ovulation). If you conceive your temperature stays high (and may rise a bit more) or otherwise it will drop and your period starts.

You can take it vaginally if you want but you need to pick one method and stick to it. You also need a thermometer that gives your temperature to 2 decimal places.

Thank you😌
I was wondering if it's safe enough that way? instead of in the mouth or
under armpit .

For the developing pregnancy

It's fine.
Just clean the thermometer. It'll likely be a lot clearer than any penis.

It's fine, but fertility consultants rubbish it as a method of tracking ovulation so personally I wouldn't bother.

They do, but if I am honest I suspect it's because they haven't bothered to understand it. I had an ectopic pregnancy many years ago, with all tests showing negative, and I knew I was pregnant and that something was wrong from my chart. Arguably it saved my life.
