What BBT (Basal Body Temperature) Do You Use?

Question:

What BBT thermometer do you use?

The BBT thermometers I have used are the Veridian (Veridian 08-365 Basal Digital Thermometer) and Mabis (Basal Thermometer, Digital BBT Thermometer) from Amazon.com. I used my Veridian from 2012-2015. I am no longer using it because I have misplaced it somewhere in my house. I started using my Mabis in 2017 when I was almost 10 months postpartum after my third pregnancy.

These are simple BBT thermometers. They do not have fancy bells and whistles but get the job done. They have the basic memory of your last temp and standard beeping when the temperature is complete. To avoid losing temps, as sometimes these flash on the screen too quickly before moving on to take the new temperature, I recommend writing it down on a list with a pencil or pen and paper or inputting your temperature right away into your fertility chart. This will help avoid accidentally erasing temperature you forgot to save or mixing which days they belong to.

As of January 21, 2017, the Veridian brand costs, $7.92 and the Mabis brand is $8.12 on Amazon. I bought my Veridian for $6.81 (on August 6,2012) and my Mabis at $8.25 (on November 8, 2016). I paid less money for my Veridian in 2012. It has gone up in price slightly by $1.11. However, the Mabis has gone down in price slightly. Anyone buying it will get it now for .14 cents less than I paid for. This does not include possible shipping costs since that will depend on if you have Amazon Prime or do free super shipping, or buy individually with whatever possible shipping costs.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...
