How long?

Question

I’ve been reading some of the articles attached to the BBT tracker and I read one thing that said to leave in your thermometer 2 minutes after the beep!! If that’s the case, I’ve been doing my BBT wrong this whole time 😔😭. It’s my first month of tracking though so I know there will be some errors. But I’m really curious if any of you ladies leave your thermometer in after the beep and if so, how long. 
Btw: I temp orally.

Answer

Yeah-doesn’t make sense to leave it in after the beep because it’s done reading. I keep my house the same temp nightly, so I don’t put the thermometer in much before hitting the button to temp. You’re probably fine :) if your chart makes sense, you’re doing it right.

Answer

Once the thermometer beeps it stops reading so it wouldn’t make any difference. What WILL make a difference is putting the thermometer in for two mins prior to actually taking the temp. 
The reasoning behind it is that if the thermometer is cold or hot because of the room temp and you temp straight away it may not have adjusted to your body temp completely by the time it takes the reading 
In saying that I never had any issues and just took the first temp :)
