Please recommend yout BBT Thermometer...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Okay, I know that there are a ton of questions about these, but I am about to go out and buy an actual BBT thermometer for this cycle (I have been using a regular digital one).

Does, the basic Walgreen's BBT Thermometer have a background that lights up? Do you recomend it? It got terrible reviews on walgreens.com so I just wanted to make sure before I get it.

Please let me know what you have. The main feature that I want is a background that has a light. I don't have a lamp on my side of the bed, so I either have to reach over DH to turn on the light, or I have to run to the bathroom and look at it before the screen goes blank (no memory feature).

TIA!

    Personally, I'd buy one with a memory and forget about the backlight.  I would avoid the BD BBT with backlight - there was a thread yesterday about how crappy that one is, for which I can vouch first-hand.  I'm switching back to my non-backlit, but with memory BBT when this cycle is over.  Honestly, I like the memory feature anyway, so I can doze off when I'm done taking my temp and don't have to get up right away.

    ETA: My BD BBT looks different from the one Sarah posted, so that one might be fine...

    Really? This is the one I've been using for 10 cycles now, and I love it!

    I got mine online here (free shipping).  It doesn't have a backlight, but it does have a memory feature, so I don't have to look at the temp right away anyways.

    I got the walmart one, it has memory so I just wait until it beeps and check the reading later.  I hated the target one (it had favorite temps so I would get the exact same temp serveral times, my new walmart one is almost never exactly the same.)

     Same here (except different # of cycles) ! I tried the Walgreens one for a cycle and went right back to my BD one. I will never stray from BD again !

    Also, my BD has both a backlight AND a memory so you CAN have both.

    Don't get the Target one.  I've only been using it two days and I think it totally sucks.  I'm going to try the CVS one.  I read in a post a few days ago that was a really good one.
