BBT Question

littlehottmess55 · January 2013

Hello everyone Smile

I just have a quick question. I have been looking at purchasing a basal body thermometer but am not sure which one to purchase. I know Walgreens & CVS have a few, but none of them received great reviews. I am wondering what brands to you recommend? I would like one that is either quiet or doesn't beep; I wake up an hour and a half earlier than DH and don't want to bother him while he is trying to sleep. I have seen some BBT's on Amazon.com, would you recommend purchasing one from there? Thanks in advance!

The Mabis from Walmart is good. It beeps but it's not loud.

Good to know! I saw that one, but wasn't familiar with the brand. Thank you!

PS: I love Duck Dynasty & your siggy!! Can't wait for the new season!

I use a nexcare from Amazon, but most people here use the mabis from Walmart I think. The one from Amazon also beeps and it only goes one place after the decimal.

The Mabis seems to be a popular brand. I have the digital from early-pregnancy-tests.com. That website also has a mercury free glass BBT thermometer. I do not know if there is such a thing as a digital BBT thermometer that doesn't beep.

I read somewhere that the more accurate BBT's go to the hundreds place after the decimal for example: 98.42. Is this true or does it matter?

I've still been able to see a temp shift with out it, but I would go with a hundreds place one if I had the option. I didn't realize the one I ordered didn't have that and didn't really feel like buying a new one.

I bought mine at target. It's their target brand "up and up" I think. I haven't been using it long, but I like it. It goes to two decimal places and has memory recall for those early mornings when you can't quite remember what you saw.

More precise but no more accurate. I've never had trouble determining O with one that goes to 0.1 instead of 0.01.

I have the BD basal, which I got from Amazon.

I have the CVS brand with last temp recall. I love it. I have been using it since June with no issues.

Does it repeat the same temps over and over? I bought this one as well, but saw that many people were getting the same temps multiple times. I was going to go out and get the CVS one because of that.

I bought the Mabis from Amazon. Like others said, it beeps, but not that loud.

I had the Target one first and it did repeat temps, but I could still see a clear shift. When that died, I decided to try the Mabis. I didn't like it because it took a long time to read my temp and it beeped a lot. Now I have the CVS brand and it's my favorite of the three. It's quiet, only beeps four times, and I like the temp recall.

Haven't had that happen yet, however I just started temping in January so I'll have to update you a little further down the road...
