Hi all so I lost my bbt years ago and never got a new one. Can I use my regular thermometer to take my temp for charting? Does it make a lot of difference?
Yes it makes a huge difference because you need two decimal points to see the smaller changes in your temp. You might find it difficult to pinpoint ovulation with any accuracy otherwise. I have a Femometer which is great, or you can get cheaper ones from Amazon for less than £10
I did use a normol one with DS and I found my chart was very up and down kind of looked like mountains lol. It did pin point ovulation but gave me dotted cross hairs so it wasn't sure.
When we ttc with this one I started with a normol one but decided to get a propper bbt one and I really noticed the difference. It was so much better. Think I only payed about £10 for it on Amazon so not expensive.
We were ttc for 11 cycles and the one month I decided not to temp I fell with this one.
Wud of been interesting to see what my chart wud of looked like with this one compared to my non pregnant and chemical pregnancies chart but I just got so fed up with temping after 11 cycles.
But I definitely do recommend getting a bbt one hon.
