I think it's also helpful to mention how you measured your temp (underarm or oral) because if you take it in your armpit you have to add 1 Fahrenheit, but oral is the most accurate. To add confusion to that if you chose oral, did you place the tip of the thermometer on top of your tongue, under your tongue, or under your tongue to the left or right of the center where "heat pockets" are located. Naming all these spots might make me sound crazy lol but I tried measuring my temp in all these different places and my digital thermometer had varying results. For example I popped it in my mouth above my tongue and I had a low 97 reading, put it under my tongue got a bit higher, placed it on either heat pocket and got a perfect mid-high 98. I'll keep trying to see if these readings are consistent and not a figment of my imagination.
