  Eh..I use a regular therm and this happens to me sometimes...have never had a problem seeing a shift though.  If it bothers you, I would definitely change therms after this cycle is over.

  I had the Walgreens BBT too and it favored temps so I switched to the Mabis brand from Walmart and haven't had any issues with it.

  I've never used the Walgreens one but my Target one did that.  I would give it a couple of days.  So far your temps are still looking ok.  If they still remain flat after a couple more days you can try changing the battery.  Even though my Target one had fav temps, it still gave me a temp shift after O

  This is going to sound dumb, but try washing the tip.  I've had a couple of same temps in a row & I washed the end gently w/ soap & water.  The next AM, it was a different temp.  This may completely be a coincidence but worth a try.

  I have the same one and it's been giving me the same temp all blasted week (I checked with a different thermometer and my temp is definitely changing). Definitely time for a new one.

  I've done this before too, it worked.

  Thanks for all the tips. I think I will wash it, I am sure they can get gunked up. Hopefully it won't make a difference with seeing a temp shift. This is my first PP cycle, I am so excited. FX I ovulate this cycle. Will just have to wait this month out to see if I need a new one or not.

  I am glad you posted this bc mine has been giving me approx. the same temp this cycle, too.  I may switch out next cycle just to see if it changes things.

  Good luck!

  I sometimes wondered if mine was broken because it tends to do the same thing. I just figure it may be my normal/coverline temp. After reading this I might try a different one too.
