Using a basal thermometer

iloveflipflops · June 2012

When you chart your temperature how do you go about doing that is it every morning when you wake up once a day everyday?? I've been thinking about getting a basal thermometer and possibly doing this? what is everyones experience is this method helpful or not?any information about this would be helpful.Also where do you purchase that type of thermomter? Thank you.

I find it very helpful. I keep my BBT right next to my alarm clock. The alarm goes off, I turn on the BBT and stick it in my mouth, then shut off the alarm. Every day. It has a memory on it, so even if I fall back to sleep afterwards, the temp is saved for when I wake up again. The more consistently you can take your temp (same time, same room temp, etc) the better results you'll have. I use Fertility Friend to track the temps and it is SUPER helpful. It really is a lot easier than it may seem.

You can get a BBT at any drug store or in the pharmacy section of WalMart or the food store.

Thanks I'm just trying different things. Can you print out a sheet to write down your temps on??do different websites have that sort of thing?Also with using your temperature do you usually get a higher temperature when your ovulating?? Also I've heard that your temperature will stay high if your pregnant? how high above your regular temperature does it have to be? thanks for all your advice about this.

Fertility friend has answers to all of these questions. The site has great tutorials to walk you through getting started. Click on my siggy to get there and get started! Charting has really helped me feel a little more in sync with my body since I know when I O'ed and keep track of everything.

I agree with pp, fertilityfriend.com is probably the best and easiest place to answer all of these questions and any more you can think of. As for where to get a thermometer, I had one from Walgreens and it started giving me the same temps for days in a row. I switched to the Mabis brand thermometer that Walmart sells on the recommendation of many of the ladies here. Good luck temping.
