How many thermometers do you have? If you have more than one, do you check your temp with all of them?

I just have one - but I'm starting to question it. I may go buy a new one today. I also hate that mine doesn't keep it in memory. I have to text myself my temp and then add it to FF on my way to work!

I have 2. I have the Walgreens one that I started with (that doesn't work very well...but I keep as a backup) and then my current one.

I have one. I keep a notebook, pencil, and flashlight by the bed. I turn on the flashlight to check my temp and right it down. My handwriting is horrible when I am half asleep!

hehe I have 4! The first one only tells temp to one decimal. I couldn't find one with two decimals in Canada. When I got to the US I got a Walgreens one and it does not work right. So I went and got a Walmart one, and it was giving me low temps, so I didn't trust it, so I got one from EarlyPregnancy.com. Well, that one was the exact same as the one from Walmart. Oh well...

I have two. One is my trusty BD brand (of which I have owned about 5, but not because they sucked). I also have a Walgreens or CVS one, I can't remember which and it SUCKS.
I will only use BD brand ones now. THe only reason I have owned about 5 is because either I lose it or the kids lose it, one I left benhind when we went cmaping. Plus, I have been charting for 10 years, so that is a long time to try to keep just one...lol.
Anyway, the BD brand displays 'only' to the tenths, just one decimal place, but getting one that displays to the hundredths is not necessary, and can make interpreting charts more difficult. It beeps when you have it placed correctly and beeps every few seconds so you know it is working. THen it does a fast beep when it is finished. It has backlighting, so you can look at the temp without a light. It also has memory, so no need to fumble around and write anything down. I love it!!!!

It is a very cool thermometer. I will never 'cheat' on the brand again. I end up ordering mine from the internet. I was able to find one in a astore once, but not again after that. But, it is worth the $10 and waiting for it to get delivered, it is THAT good

I have two.
My first, and most trusted one, is a purple Rite Aid brand BBT.
My second one is the famously craptacular Walgreens brand BBT. I never use it. Ever. Because it sucks monkey balls and gives the same stupid temp for days in a row. I only keep it so I can cannibalize the battery when my RA one goes!
