Hoping I am posting this in the right thread, wasn't sure if I should put it over in PG or not. I am trying to figure out which basal body thermometer to purchase. These are the ones that I have found so far; all are digital:


The Healthy Living BBT by Samsung

The Mabis Basal Digital Thermometer

The BD Electronic Basal Thermometer

The BestMed Basal Digital Thermometer

professional digital basal thermometer by Clark Medical Company

I really don't have a clue which would be considered the best. They are all in the $10 price range, all found on Ebay. :confused: Is there one listed here that anyone has used or would say is more accurate than the rest? Anyone used one not listed here that you love? Let me know!

I got the BD Basal - it was easy to find at a local pharmacy, ~$12.
It saves the last temp so you can read it later, but I think most do that.

I used the BD. I took a break and misplaced my BD so I bought another when I started temping again. I hated the new one, so I ordered another BD one. I now have two BD ones. :rolleyes:

Look for one with a light! Mine doesn't have one, and I like to look at the temp after I take it (at 6am) because I find accessing the memory on mine finicky and have 'lost' temps by holding the button too long!

I used the BD Basal as well. I liked the light and the beeps so you knew it was taking the temp.

*BUMP*

I want to start charting again as I just resumed my cycles, and am looking for a basal thermometer which does not beep and that has a light. Does such a thermometer exist?

I always covered the BD basal with my hand so the beeps wouldn't be as loud.

My crappy one didn't beep, but it didn't have a light, either. I think it was a Walgreens brand.

I did the same thing - cover the thermometer with my hand so it would not beep. There is a certain place on the thermometer that if you cover that spot, you can barely hear it beep. That way I wouldn't wake DH early every morning. I used the BD thermometer.

I don't think there is a thermometer with a light that doesn't beep. I have the BD therm and the beeping doesn't bother me, but I temp vaginally so I can hardly hear the beeps.

I had the Walgreen's brand before the BD one and hated it. It didn't last very long at all.
