I've had the same temperature of 97.3 for 4 days in a row. Is that possible or is my thermometer broken?

Take you temp with it now and see if it still says that. I had 4 days in a row this cycle.

Here we go with the repeating temps again!! I had 97.33 like 4 or 5 times last cycle.
You don't happen to have a pink Walgreen's BBT do you? HA HA!!

I have had 97.3 9 times this cycle and I'm not using Walgreens thermometer. It must be a very popular temp!

I quite often get the same temps... even this chart with a BBT that actually has 2 decimal points I get the same temp. Don't know how it happens but it does

Repeating temps is actually a sign of stable hormones and is supposed to be a good thing. The only time I EVER have repeating temps is when I am on Clomid and then it's only for a couple of days. It is possible and normal though. Good luck!

I have the pink and white thermometer from Walgreeens! It seems to work fine but I will frequently have a couple of days that stay the same here and there... It is quite annoying! My temps have been at 98.04 the last two days now, which is just above my coverline, and I just want to know if it is going to drop and AF will come or if it will stay up....Grrr!!!
Shaylyn, I would be so annoyed if mine stayed for 4 days! But if you just checked and it is different than I guess I would trust it, I mean it's not stuck on that one temp then. Good luck with yours!

I was going to ask the same thing. I hate the Walgreens thermometer.

I have read the same thing. If you are sure your thermometer isn't broken I wouldn't worry too much. It could be a good sign.

I wonder what the deal is with the Walgreen BBTs, did those of you using them end up getting a different one or you do stick with it?
It amazes me that any basal body thermometer could give you the exact same temps down to the decimal point repeated times so often. I mean I just figured that since they're supposed to be so specific than it would most likely at least fluctuate by a .01 for the most part.

DF sent me a Walgreens pink thermometer couple of weeks ago ( I live in Canada ) and I tried it out with my old one and the temps I get on it are sometimes the whole degree lower than my regular thermometer, sometimes half a degree. They're down to 96.3, which I think is way too low, so I'm thinking that this walgreens one sucks! I wanted it because it has two decimals since mine has only one. But it doesn't seem to want to work!

Arya, thats exactly what mine does too. My pink and white one is at least a whole degree lower then the one I got from drugstore.com. I stick with the drugstore.com one.

Daniela, I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and bought their Life brand one for $18 or something... expensive but accurate. It has 2 decimal points, it only reads in Celsius so I bookmarked a conversion site on my computer and still enter it in Fahrenheit. It's the same brand Liss used right before she got her BFP so I'm thinking it has to be good luck!

hehe I saw that one actually, but I didn't get it because it only read in Celsius, so I got DF to send Walgreens one! A big mistake!
