Question about basal body thermometers

vlr82 · #1 February 14th, 2011, 08:42 AM

I have been charting for 3 days (I bought my basal body thermometer last friday). This morning while I was getting dressed my basal body thermometer dropped to the floor. When I picked it up I could hear parts rattling so I turned it on just to see if everything was working okay. When I tried to turn it on nothing happened (it wouldn't come on)!

The brand that I have is a Walgreens brand. I asked the store for a refund but they wouldn't give me a refund because I didn't have the receipt. I think I'm just gonna buy a different brand. I don't want to buy the Walgreens brand again cause obviously their brand is cheaply made. So what is the best brand to buy when it comes to basal body thermometers?

I have a CVS bbt...it's little and purple with a flexi tip. It was 9 bucks, but I think it takes forever to get a reading. But I might be impatient too...lol
