What Basil Body Thermometer's do you use? I was looking at Amazon and the one I am using is giving crappy reviews. They are saying it is very inconsistent and inaccurate.
I am driving myself crazy with my OPKs and FF not agreeing. It could just be because I am still on loss cycle so my body is still all wonky.
Veridian 08-365 Basal Digital Thermometer is the one I currently own.

I bought my basal body thermometer at Target in the pharmacy area. I do not know the brand name of it. It has worked for me but you will get a more accurate reading if taking temp in your rectum (other words your butt). I hope you find one that works for you.

I suck at charting. I have tried multiple times and just cannot pin point it. I have used the ovulation testers, but that's about it. Sorry.

I got mine at CVS too, it's their store brand of BBT and I really like it. It's purple, I think has a little bit of blue on it maybe?
I temp vaginally and find that method works much better for me than temping orally did.

I have been charting for almost 12 years and I think that the BD brand is by far the best BBT out there. I have tried others and they just can't compare.

I used the BD brand when I was first TTC a few years ago and the only thing I didn't like about it was the constant beeping while it was calculating my temp. I have one I got from Wal-Mart now. I'm not sure of the brand, but I like it. I did notice that my temps are much lower with this one than they were with my BD thermometer.
