NWR: NFP thermometers

eagle328

Hi!  I'm getting married in October and learning NFP (symptothermal) now.  I got the TCOYF book after reading about it here, and it seems simple enough... except the thermometer.  I got one digital one from Walgreens that wouldn't even turn on, then another digital that was very inaccurate and changed one minute to the next.

I'm thinking of getting the couple to couple league one now, but I don't want another dud.

I'm hoping that you ladies can recommend a thermometer that has worked for you and where you got it.  Digital or glass? If glass, does it bother you that it takes longer to get a temperaure?

Thanks for any advice!

This is the one I have and have had good luck with:

I didn't have luck with the thermometers from the pharmacies or Target.

I don't use STM, but I've heard good things about the CCL thermometer!

I use the couple to couple league one and it has worked well for me.

I bought the one Riss linked to and it works great.

FYI, when I got it, there was a disclaimer that it is apparently NOT the thermometer Amazon says it is, but that it works just as well.  That was two years ago so hopefully it's been worked out?

The "BD" Brand sold their thermometer division to Nexcare - so I think that the disclaimer was during the transition between companies.

Tangent:   just found myfertilitymd app

Uses creighton terms, has doctors that respond to you, (immediately in my case).

Also allows for other confirmation data like temp, etc.

Carrie - that's really cool! Does the app only show your stats in a "calendar" format, or does it have options for a "chart"?

My friend designed an app that is ready to go for Creighton, but Creighton won't sign off on it. I'm hoping enough people would request it that they will give in. It can have quality control and passwords built in it so that the proper methods, follow ups, and permissions happen

Carrie - where were you able to find that app?  I just tried searching for it on my droid and didn't find anything by that name.

I sometimes chart on my phone with the app "Charting App."  It wasn't designed for Creighton alone as it has a few extra options that Creighton doesn't use, but it does have all the same stickers and most of the terms.  Also allows me to enter my own terms so I can chart exactly the same way I would on my paper chart.  I don't use it a lot, just when I travel and don't want to bring my chart with me.

Thank you for all of the responses!  It looks like the Couple to Couple league one is "BD" brand which Riss says is now the same as the Nexcare one that the Amazon link goes to.  

High hopes for that one then!
