New BBT, temps vary depending on which one you use?

Ok, so I finally ditched the horrible and huge pink BBT from Walgreen's and got this tiny white and pink one from Walmart that I have heard a couple gals from here say they use. I took a break from temping for a couple of weeks since I don't seem to be O'ing until closer to CD36 or 37 anyway and I finally took my first temp this morning. It was 96.93, which completely shocked me because my very lowest temp i think I ever had on my other one was 97.18. I have never had a temp in the 96's before.. So I wonder if they will just vary depending on the BBT you use. I hope this one is more accurate!

I have that same BBT from walmart as well as one from Target. My one from target reads .2 degrees higher pretty consistently. I am not sure why but it does. I use my target but know in a pinch i can self correct my walmart therm. Hope this helps!

Thanks! A question for you then, do you find that you have a lot of repeated temps with the one from Walmart? My Walgreens one stuck with all the same temps so I am anxious to see if this one will maybe be more accurate in that area.
