Thermometer Q: WWTTCALD?

miakrita

I can't decide what to do about my BBT but AF is over I need to start charting again tomorrow morning. 

 So I was wondering: WWTTCALD?

The situation:  A week ago, my cat knocked my BBT off the nightstand on to our hardwood floor.  There was a thread on here a month or two ago about the accuracy of a BBT after impact.  So I was curious enough to pick it up and take my temp.  It gave me really low readings (95, 96, etc) for a few days.  But now it seems to be back to normal (although I have no way to tell if it is accurate or consistent).

The quandary:  The way I see it, I have a few options.  I could either (A) keep using the same BBT and ignore the fact it was giving me weird readings for a few days; (B) buy another one (but I'm cheap); (C) stop temping as I mail the BBT back to the manufacturer to cash in on the warranty (but I've been really excited about starting to temp vaginally this cycle); or (D) some combination of the above (like buy a new BBT and return it once the manufacturer sends me a new one ...  but I would feel bad about returning a BBT to the store that I've stuck up my hoo-haa).  

I'm terrible at making decisions.  Any thoughts?  TIA!

I always look for the easy way out so I'd probably just swing by the drug store and buy a new one.. that's just me though..

LOL yes. This.  If you don't trust it for whatever reason, just buy a new one. I would definitely not return a used thermometer though.

My bbt dropped 2 times an I have hard wood floor an it is fine. I still use it. I was scared to use it, but if it is not broken then I say keep using it. Also, I would maybe for couple of days use it and if you see the temp are wrong then go get a new one.

Thanks ladies!  I'll probably pick up a BBT on my way home  

And Bookshelves: Thanks for the warm welcome.  I missed you too!

I would pick up a new one and use both for awhile to compare, because I'm anal like that.  If something has been working good for me for awhile I don't like to give it up.
