    Do I need a Basal thermometre?

    Hi

    I am just starting to chart my cycle and was wondering if I need a BBT thermometre. I bought a normal one that just goes to one decimal place. Will this be enough? Thanks!

    I charted with a normal one from the chemist and I had no trouble pinpointing ovulation with the fertility friend site.

    When I first starting temping I just used a normal, one decimal thermometre, which eventually broke. I bought a BBT one, and the difference is really surprising.

    I would definitely recommend the BBT one if you can get your hands on one!!

    Thanks so much Loula, wishing you luck with your IVF. How is it going?
    I'm very impatient lol and have decided to buy one after reading these posts! I am going to pick up preseed from the chemist anyway and while I'm there will get a BBT thermometre
