Record your basal (waking) temperature upon awaking in the morning. Do this for at least four days before your appointment.
HOW TO CHECK YOUR BASAL TEMPERATURE
Procedure 1 - Old fashioned mercury shake down thermometer
(We have an alternate shake down version available through our office.)
Shake down thermometer the night before and place at your bedside. Upon awakening, before arising from bed, place mercury thermometer snugly in your armpit for a period of ten minutes and record your temperature for 5 days in a row. For women who are menstruating, the temperature should be taken starting on the second day of menstruation. This is the best time in a woman’s menstrual cycle to get an accurate basal temperature. For men and postmenopausal women, it makes no difference when the temperatures are taken. Call the office and give us your results.
Procedure 2 - Digital Basal Thermometer
Upon awakening, before arising from bed, place digital thermometer deep in your armpit and leave in until it beeps. Record your temperature for 5 days in a row. For women who are menstruating, the temperature should be taken starting on the second day of menstruation. This is the best time in a woman’s menstrual cycle to get an accurate basal temperature. For men and postmenopausal women, it makes no difference when the temperatures are taken. Call the office and give us your results.
Normal basal temperature is between 97.8° and 98.2°. A temperature below this may indicate a hypothyroid state.
