Question About Bbt Charting? Posted: 12-15-05 10:40am
Ok if I ever have my af this month I want
to start charting my bbt to see if infact
I am ovulating. Can I use a regular
digital thermometer or should I go and
find a thermometer that is designed for
bbt?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
God bless all!

You really need to have a thermometer that
has two places after the decimal. Your
temps will change tenths of a degree and
you need to be able to recognize this.
You can find actual ovulation thermometers
at the drug store, they are only about $5
to $7.
Good luck and good charting!

Thanks! I think this will help me find
out why I have been so irregular since I
went off of bc back in feb.
I was on bc for 9 years, should that
effect my fertility?

I just got back from walmart, I spoke to
the pharmacist and they stopped carrying
bbt thermometers a little while ago. He
said he thinks it is all walmart stores
(at least here in ga)
i guess I will try cvs or walgreens later
today.
To all who are ttc I hope you get your

Well, I just got mine a couple of months
ago at walmart... It is a vicks brand
called ovitrack... I just found it in the
thermometer section. I'm sure they would
have some. Any thermometer with two
decimal places after the . Will work
fine.
This really will let you know if you are
ovulating or not. I would be more than
happy to help you if you need further
assistance.
