Description
Chart your basal body temperature and predict ovulation!
Body temperature rises at ovulation, but this increase in temperature is very small and not able to be noticed with a regular thermometer. Basal body thermometers are very sensitive oral thermometers used to get these temperature readings. Your basal body temperature is your resting body temperature: when fertility charting, you track your resting body temperature first thing in the morning each day to discover the patterns in your cycle and to identify your fertility window.
Designed specifically for fertility charting, this Digital Basal Thermometer combines pinpoint accuracy with safety and ease of use. To help you get started, an ovulation chart and instructions are included.
The Digital Basal Thermometer provides temperature readings to 1/100th of a degree Fahrenheit—perfect for fertility charting and predicting ovulation. Because consistency and accuracy are critical, the thermometer also offers helpful charting functions, such as digital memory recall and a peak temperature indicator.
For help making a basal thermometer purchase, read our Basal Body Thermometers Buyer’s Guide.

Included: one digital basal thermometer, battery, clear storage case and ovulation chart.

Very simple to use. After one month of testing, it gives you an easy to read graph to track when ovulation occurs to plan for the next month. I have found it to be accurate add I am also using the ovulation tests. It is loud when it is done taking my temperature, but isn’t too bad considering how easy it is to use. I would recommend this product to anyone who is tracking their cycle and time of ovulation.

I just started my journey. I found the thermometer very easy to use. I love that it tracks my last reading; it made it easier the day i forgot to chart.

This thermometer is nice, especially for the price. I forgot to check when I purchased it to see if it was backlit, so I was surprised when I got it and tried to use it the first morning, in the darkness when I wake up (a few hours before my husband does), and wasn’t able to see it. I didn’t want to turn on any lights either, because of not wanting to wake the husbie. However, since it has the feature of recalling your last reading, all you have to do is turn it on, count to three, put it under your tongue, and wait for it to give the 4 beeps letting you know that it’s finished. Then, when you get up, you can hold down the power button to review what the results were. I think it should be more up front that it isn’t going to be visible in the darkness (hence the 4 stars) since there are other options that have that feature, but it’s great for the price.

One day it’ll be really low, the next day it’ll be really high. There is no consistency. It’s also slow, taking 2 minutes to read.

Thermometer takes a bit of time to calculate temperature but accuracy is more important than time. Works great!

I was using a BBT thermometer from the drug store with mixed results. I know my temps are kind of erratic, but felt like they were way more all over the place than they should be. Could’ve been that it was a piece of junk, could of been because my cat really enjoyed knocking it off of the nightstand, who knows. Either way, I decided I needed a new one and read like every review on every BBT thermometer ever. I went with this one because, overall, it seemed the most trusted. And I think it’s a good thermometer, it seems like it’s probably more accurate than the drugstore brand and it’s easy to use….But I kind of wish I had gone with a different one that had a back light, even if it wasn’t as highly reviewed. It’s a huge pain to try to read the temp in the dark. I have to use the flashlight on my phone, which at 5am looks like the burning of a million suns, or a little flash light, which is slightly less disturbing, but a P in the A none the less. Maybe it’s just because it takes me so long for my eyes to adjust to be able to read the temp…but a back light would make this SO MUCH BETTER, The ability to read the last temperature is definitely necessary, but it’s easy to do, so that’s good. The one other issue I have is that it takes a reeeeally long time. Several times I’ve thought…did it turn off? is it not working?! And right when I’m about to take it out of my mouth it beeps…loudly…it feels longer than 2 or 3 minutes most of the time. Minor inconvenience, but worth mentioning. The beeping doesn’t seem to be loud enough that it wakes my husband, but it’s prrreeetttty loud. So, I would recommend this over anything you can buy at the drugstore, but I definitely think there’s still room for improvement.

I had to replace my old BBT thermometer, and found this while shopping for OPKs. This is a great thermometer! It does the job, and I love that you can hold the on/off button to see your last temp in case you’re a little groggy in the morning like me. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product!

I used this thermometer for YEARS and it finally quit a few months back. I tried to replace it with a thermometer from a local pharmacy (cause I was about to ovulate & didn’t want to miss my temperature shift). It was crap. I went to a different pharmacy….crap! I finally just ordered this one & waited on it. I got one just as reliable as my old one. I’ll never own a different one! By the way, don’t listen to the reviews that say that it doesn’t store your last temp. That’s not true!! With the thermometer off, hit the button & HOLD IT down until a temperature appears. That’s your last temp.

It takes my temp.

I purchased this thermometer in hopes of charting. I tested when I received it but 4 days later I received a BFP so I stopped! I did observe the temperature spikes, etc. However, since I did not have a baseline to reference (I started well within the two week wait period) rather than at the beginning of my cycle month. It does take a little time to get a reading but it seems pretty accurate.

Easy reading

At first it didn’t work properly as it wasn’t beeping after 2 mins to say it was ready to read. But it started after a few days, weird, I almost returned it. Anyway it’s my first ever bbt and it now seems ok. My temp is super high most days so I’m not sure if it’s inaccurate, or there’s a problem with me! Chart is a bit small but you can print your own online.

I followed the instructions for this product and for the most part got great results. I did however got three out of base readings that made no sense on how they were achieved. To prove my point, I took my temperature when I first awoke up as I usual did got a weird reading of 101.3 so I took it again and got 97.01 a more normalized reading in line with all my other data. To further prove to myself this unit was a little off I retook my temperature after I got up and showered and got a temperature lower than 97.01, it read 96.20. I emailed early pregnancy’s customer rep and got wonderful customer service. A new one is being sent to me no ends, ifs, or butts about it so I’m satisfied. I will still continue tom use this product and I would recommend it.

Loved it!

I bought this basal therm because my old one was reading really low. This one reads low as well. I don’t really think this is a good way to track my ovulation.
Terri (verified owner) –
This thermometer is easy to use. I’m glad it has memory recall since it doesn’t have a backlight to be able to read it in the dark. I can always go back later to document my morning’s temp. It does take a couple of minutes for the temp to be checked sometimes. I’ve fallen back asleep waiting on it to beep a few times.

Much better than a regular thermometer.

Easy to read and accurate!! It’s a very good deal!!!
Mikayla (verified owner) –
So far this thermometer has been very accurate and reliable. It doesn’t keep the last temperature stored – so keep a pencil and some paper handy by your bedside soyou can quickly write the temp down to enter into your app later. It also doesn’t have a backlit screen, but from the the few weeks I have had it – this is way more accurate than the previous thermometer I had.

I love this thing! it comes with a very informitive insert and a graph to begin chartting. I’m in the 2ww now, testing tomorrow. Its best to chart and note your CM changes as well. good luck! If you are ttc or trying to gain control of your fertility, this is a must order!

This thermometer works well. you need to patient as it takes a bit of time to get a reading (maybe 1-2 min.)

I have used this daily for over a week now. The batteries are lasting well, the readings can jump around and vary greatly when retesting within minutes though kit sure if that’s just my temperature or if the product is unpredictable.
