OK so I have a thermometer question. I bought a new one off Ebay a few months ago but I can take my temp with it reset it and take it again and it will be totally off (IE 98.88 and 98.34) and takes forever. So bought a new one and it came today I put both in my mouth and they read new.. 98.20 old 98.81!!! How can two thermometers be that off?

Do you think this could be why I have had problems with my chart this month. I will be Charting Vaginally next month with the new thermometer and OPK's so maybe next month will be better... IF I don't get my BFP this month

It sure sounds like it could have caused problems. I have had my temperature change slightly temping twice in a row but not like that. Hopefully your chart will be more accurate. I always like to use OPKs too just to help confirm things.

Definitely sounds like your thermometer could have been a major problem. Hopefully the new one will work much better for you.
