Editorial Review: Product Description: Helps identify ovulation timing. Find a wide variety of FSA Store Products at drugstore.com, where you get 5% back and free shipping! Amazon.com: As an aid in increasing the likelihood of becoming pregnant, the basal thermometer is indispensable. By taking her basal temperature every morning at the same time (basal conditions refer to having had a good night's sleep, 12 hours after eating, no emotional disturbance, before exercise, and in normal room temperature), a woman can track slight fluctuations and determine when ovulation occurs. After keeping track for three months (charts are included), it becomes possible to predict the fertile days which occur just before ovulation. This thermometer features a flexible tip that can be used orally or rectally (once used rectally it should not be used orally), and features a soft-press on/off button on the end, a large digital display, and is accurate to within +/- 0.15 degrees Fahrenheit. A memory function allows comparison between the current and previous day's reading. The thermometer beeps when the reading is finished, and shuts off automatically. Probe covers and a battery are included. Waterproof for easy cleaning with soap and water or rubbing alcohol, the thermometer measures 1 by 5-5/8 inches and stores in a protective case. --Ann Bieri Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Does what it's supposed to doI purchased this thermometer to (of course) track my temperature throughout my cycle and see when I am ovulating. The first thermometer I received from Amazon didn't turn on at all. I replaced the battery (ridiculous since it was brand new, but I tried it anyway). It turned on, but would not do take my temperature. I called the company and they said the error I was getting signified a low battery--but of course I had just changed it. The woman on the phone did make a point of telling me that this ... Read More Rating:  - Reading DiscrepanciesBecause I am a little high strung when it comes to accuracy when taking my temperature, I tested this thermometer by measuring my temperature on both sides of my mouth -- every day. Fortunately, when I ovulate my temperature jumps SIGNIFICANTLY, so I am sure when there has been a change. But for women who have less significant temperature changes, I found this thermometer consistently inconsistent with its readings -- even when taking my temp on the same side twice in a row the readings were different ... Read More Rating: - Great thermometerDespite the other reviewers comments, I actually love this thermometer. Yes sometimes you think its on and its not but this doesn't happen a whole lot. Some of the complaints people have: Complaint: It doesn't beep as it takes your temperature. My response: When I'm taking my temperature and my husband is sleeping next to me, I don't want to wake him with a constant beeping. The beeping the thermometer makes when you turn it on/off is not annoying...however, I'm sure a constant ... Read More Rating: - infuriatingI am buying a new thermometer--I HATE this one. Here's why: 1)It gets stuck in its case. Then, when I try to pull it out, the "button" cover comes off and exposes the electrical parts and then it won't work that time. 2)It doesn't have a light so I have to fiddle around with a flashlight to read it. 3)The chart that came with it is USELESS. The boxes to write in are ridiculously small. 4)Sometimes it beeps like it's on and I sit there with the thing in my mouth, but it's not on. Read More Rating: - Frustrating This basal temp taker is a definite NO. It does not save the last temp. So, when you are taking your temp a 6:30am everyday and you have to go to the ladies room but you need to wait until you temp is taken and you are trying not to wake your husband., its hard to remember to take the thermometer with you; then turn on all the lights; try to focus on the numbers and find some way of remembering the temp after you turn it off. This is no ok. Secondly, its hard to turn on. The on /off button is on the end ... Read More |
