lauradi7dwOr measurement, which is sometimes the same thing. We have three mercury thermometers and one digital.
All but one of them are basal thermometers, which only go up to 100 degrees F, but are more precise than other mercury thermometers.
We have just done an experiment and tried three of them (all mercury) each, with long under-the-tongue times and short breaks in between. My three were very close: 97.6 or 97.7. Arthur's ranged from 97.6 - 98.6. I also used the old electronic one and got 97.7 as well, but before Arthur could try it, the display picture looked kind of like an empty battery, so maybe I have drained its last bit of juice. We are going to disregard the lowest one, which was 97.6 for both of us, and use the other two to take our temps daily. What one might notice from this is that we don't look like we have fevers. We both feel pretty good now, so was it some sort of false alarm? I'm way past hot flashes, so that doesn't explain it. Do we stop counting days?
