Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi Tina, Might I suggest taking your basal tempurature for a few days and posting the results?... It is by my basal temperature that I am starting to medicate by... I have read two different ways of taking your basal temperature: One would be placing an old fashioned mercury type thermometer under your arm (armpit area) first thing in the morning for ten minutes, before you get out of bed. This way you will see what your resting temperature is. The least amount of movement will give you the best reading, any muscle movement will start the bodies temperature to rise a bit. (you need to do this before the morning trip to the restroom.) The second way is to take your temperature under your tongue using what ever kind of thermometer that you have, again first thing in the morning before you get out of bed. I don't remember what the ranges are, tempurature wise, that are indications of needing more medicine, but I think if you are averaging below 97.8 or is it 96.8 for your basal temperature that you may need to change your level of meds. I'm hoping that someone, with a better memory for numbers than I, will jump in with the correct temperature ranges. There are other indicators but this will get you started.
