BBT Thermometer Troubles!

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I am so annoyed! Angry  I wake up every morning at 5:15 and take my BBT.  I normally take it but then lay in bed and take my time actually waking up-so i don't look at my temp right away.  My room is pretty dark and i have the thermometer from Wal-mart with no back light.  I then usually turn on my therm. before i leave for work since it records you last temp and record it.

Eariler this week, when i went back to get my temp for recording-nothing was there!  There wasn't any last temp recorded.  It just showed me the 97.70 then "Lo" that is always shows before its ready to temp.  I had been super tired and figured maybe i didn't do something right when i was taking it that morning. 

Then the same thing happened this morning!  I"m so frustrated.  I tend to O earlier in my cycle (CD 11-12), so being on CD 8 today-i just feel like these temps are really important to track.  But now I got nothing!

Anyway-headed out today to get a new one with a back light so i can confirm temp was actually recorded.  Any recommendations? (I prefer one i can get at store vs buy online so that i can get it today)

Thanks-Happy Friday!

    I have a BBT that records the last temp, but the backlight turns off immediately after the temping is done, and its so annoying.  As if it the beeping every four seconds isnt annoying enough, you have to beep it again to see the temp.  BEEP BEEP! ugh!

    Mine is from Rite Aid and does this too.  The first 3 temps I recorded for this month were 97.7, before I realized that it wasn't saving the last temp.  SO annoying.
