Hi,
I'm planning on starting charting from the start of my next cycle, and I'm wondering if an ear thermometer will do the trick for recording temps. I already have a Braun for taking DS's temp when needed, so I'm hoping I don't need to go buy another thermometer just to get oral temps. Have just joined Fertility Friend, and it asked me if I was going to take my temp orally or vaginally, so thats what makes me ask. |

Doh, just started reading the Fertility Friend charting lessons, and it says NOT to use an ear thermometer! If only I'd read that first...
Off to buy a BBT thermometer next week sometime, then! Hope the pharmacy in Ohakune have them, or it'll have to wait! |

Hey Jen
Are you TTC? I ordered my online. It was only $15 or something. Worth it tho. How do you find the Braun? |

Hey Rach, that would be cool if you're sure you don't want it anymore. You might want it to try for no. 3 next year. *ducks for cover*
Otherwise I'll have a look online, thanks! Ang, we started TTC at the start of the year, but then took a break when we were busy selling our house in Dunners and moving up here to Ohakune. Starting again now, and I've decided to try charting to get a better idea of my cycles, since we tried for about 5 months with no luck. And BIG CONGRATS on your BFP, that's awesome news! 
ETA: The Braun is great, I love it - haven't had to use it much though, thankfully! |
