thermometer broke and screwed up charting ... continue?

I started charting this cycle and my thermometer broke and I just realized it this morning, on CD 5.  The thermometer I purchased is supposed to store the last reading, so I would take my temp, go back to sleep and then check the thermometer to get the reading once I was up.  Well, the readings were exactly the same, which I thought was strange.  So this morning, I remembered my temp, turned off the thermometer and voila - my reading from the other days popped up, not my actual temp, which means that it's not correctly storing my readings and I have a few days of readings I'm unsure about.  This mornings reading is the only one I have confidence in...

Since it's so early in my cycle, do you think I will have enough info to id ovulation?  I'm thinking that it will be ok ... but I wasn't sure and wanted some input.  I'll keep going, but just didn't know how much confidence I should have in my chart now ...

Thanks!

    Is it the Target brand bbt? If so, you have to hold down the button to see saved readings. When you turn it on, it will default to 97.70, unless you hold the button. It took me a little while to figure it out. I thought all my readings were 97.70!

    If your thermometer is truly broken, I'd get a new one and keep charting. Day 5 is pretty early, you should be OK for FF to accurately detect O.

    this exact thing happened with me, good thing i write them down!

    to OP, cd5 is so early it shouldn't even matter. just get a new bbt and start tomorrow. good luck!
