I know in TTC (or trying NOT to lol) we are supposed to take BBT (basal body temp) vaginally for more accuracy, is this a more accurate reading for temps for BO as well?

I took my temp with my BBT thermometer upon waking this AM, it was 99.5° - out of curiosity I used my kids’ ear thermometer at the same time and it read 97.6°

Which is more accurate?  I’m CD18, 4DPO based off period tracker, I know temps spike post ovulation, but why did my ear thermometer read nearly 2 degrees lower?  Both thermometers are digital.

Do I need to raise my body temp for BO to work based off the ear temp?  I did it twice, it was 97.6 both times, found an oral thermometer as well, it was 98.0 exactly but I had to get up and walk around for that.

I know I’m historically testosterone dominant, had blood work done this AM so will know exact levels in the next couple of weeks. (I do blood work quarterly for optimizing health & longevity)

Thanks in advance!

I don't know which is more accurate, but I've always been told that the ear temperature will be a little lower than the BBT.

Are those wearable fertility trackers accurate?

Well the Ava bracelet claims to have clinical evidence that it's more accurate than BBT. But these fertility trackers are expensive! Not the kind of thing you'd use just to take your body temperature.
