  We use the safety 1st rectal.  I was squeamish before using it, but it is actually super easy, takes 8 seconds to get an accurate temp and was really inexpensive. Eventually we will buy an ear one, but according to my pedi and research I have done, at this age the rectals are most accurate.

  I have the kind that runs across the forehead (like they have at the doctor's office). My doctor said that I didn't have to add or subtract anything from the reading I get from it, so I'm assuming that it is pretty accurate.

  That's the exact one I have.

  Rectal temps are the most accurate at this age. We have the Safety First with exchangeable tips. Eventually we will probably get a forehead or ear reader. Depending what the pedi recommends.

  We have this one too.  My husband is a physician and said if it was good enough for the hospital it is good enough for us. I also bought a rectal one  (despite my husband's discouragement) because I heard that it was the most accurate type and I've literally never taken it out of the box.

  I have this one too. My pedi uses the exact one as well.

  Me too. My aunt, who is in charge of the OB floor recommended it because they use them at her hospital. Works great. 

  Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)

  Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements

  March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!

  Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

  
  

  Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

  I just wish it ran across the forehead more smoothly. I can get it across just fine, unless he's squirming, which is most of the time haha.
