okay so I understand what the basal body temperature is but I cant seem to be able to find a basal body thermometer anywhere. does anyone have any idea where I can locate one and what is the opinion on them?? do they work?? etc. Any additional information you can give would be great!! Thanks

you really dont need a basal thermometer. the info i read said to use the same thermometer everyday at the same time, like the digital ones. basal show even the slightest rise, but the newer digital ones do too. good luck!

They have them at Walmart and usually at most drug stores if you cant find one in the drug store you can always ask the pharamacist. They pointed me to mine! Good luck and I hope you get your BFP soon!

Use the digital kind. And get the book "Taking charge of your fertility" by Tony Weshler. It has charts in the back you can copy and use, and very specific info on how to do the temp and other ovulation signs. Also, it gives other peoples sample charts and explains them so you can compare it to yours.
