Thread: Do While error prints twice despite scanf

I am trying to teach myself C and decided to make a console project that would be a Basal Metabolic Weight/BMI/Calorie Calculator. Anyways I am stumped early on with this problem. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? I have been racking my brain but haven't been able to figure it out. (But I am somewhat new at this) Thanks!!!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char Gender = 'a';
    char tempGender;

    //Title
    printf("WEIGHT LOSS CALCULATOR \n\n\n");
    //Gather gender info
    do {
        printf("Are you male or female? \nType M for male and F for female.\n\n"); 
        scanf("%c", &tempGender);
        //printf("%c",tempGender\n);

        if (tempGender == 'm' || tempGender == 'M') {
            Gender = 'm';
            printf("You are a male.\n\n");
        }
        else if (tempGender == 'f'|| tempGender == 'F') {
            Gender = 'f';
            printf("You are a female.\n\n");
        }
        else {
            printf("ERROR. Please try again.\n\n");
            printf("You typed: %c\n",tempGender);

        }
        }while (Gender == 'a');
return 0;
}
