Mandi - I also take my own temperature rectally because of the accuracy. I have tried simultaneous rectal and oral temperatures, and the temperature spread is not consistent, so I stick with rectal. The secret is lubrication...not a lot, but enough. You will get used to it eventually. I am charting mine for metabolism monitoring(basal temp.). My charting goes back to this past February. Good luck!
