Time to try another thermometer!

Ninety-nine point nine. I'm feeling pretty darn okay, oddly enough. (Not counting the rebound pain from going off Indocin this morning. Doc said if it isn't helping, forget it, so I did... but that leaves my feet and abdomen quite unhappy until I stabilize again.)

Maybe that one just reads high? Really high?

Now I'm trying the adorable pink thermometer that came in the adorable pink case and cost something like four times as much as the normal ones. You guessed it, gentle reader, it's a fertility thing. Its scale goes only to about 100.5 and I have no idea whether it is meant to be stuck under the tongue. Er, under the tongue of the lady whose temperature is being taken, anyway. Before you all leap helpfully to tell me -- I don't need to know. Honest.

Aw darn, the Fertility Thermometer agrees. 99.9 on the dot. Either my uvula is ovulating or I'm still sick. I think I don't need to know the answer to that one, either.

[PS: No, we're not planning anything. I own this adorable pinkitude because the regular thermometers were sold out.]

But pink is cute! Who cares how it works?

Well, at least it's adorable. And hey, multi function! If Rob ever needs to know if he's ovulating, he can borrow it!

LOL. There have been many occasions at my house when I could not find the regular thermometer and I have used the basal thermometer. One day my now 14 year old son asked me why it was pink and in my pre coffee fog I actually told him and he dropped it immediately :)
