Basal Body Temperature: Basal Temperature is the normal body temperature of a healthy person immediately upon awakening in the morning. This temperature normally rises after ovulation due to hormonal changes. Thus, a temperature increase near the middle of your menstrual cycle can indicate ovulation has occurred.
Identifying Ovulation Timing: Tracking your basal temperature can help you to identify ovulation timing. Temperature Charts are included to help you track your temperature for your menstrual cycles. By taking your temperature with the BD Basal Digital Thermometer each morning throughout your cycle, a pattern usually becomes visible. This pattern, along with other indicators can help you determine the timing of your ovulation. Knowledge of ovulation timing can help you increase or decrease your likelihood of conception.
Seeking Professional Guidance: Remember that temperature fluctuations and other observations are only indicators of ovulation. Interpretation of such information requires medical knowledge and training. Providing you

 Just what I need August 30, 2010
H. Devore (Huntington Beach, CA)
I just needed to replace my regular thermometer. It works great. The beeping is not loud as some reviews claim. Works just fine for me.
excellent! July 15, 2010

This is my first basal thermometer. I love how it beeps to let me know it's working and beeps faster to let you know when it's done. I use it every morning while i'm still half asleep so the beeping noise is great! Excellent product.
Great BBT! June 25, 2010

This is a great thermometer, it has a light up screen that is super easy to read. Beeps when you have it right part of your mouth, and then keeps telling you in right place for just 1 min. It is a good price for the value, I would recommend this item to a friend.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS June 11, 2010

First of all, I really love this thermometer and all that it has to offer. The continuous beeps really do help to know that the thermometer is in the proper position. It normally takes me less than 30 seconds to get a reading and its great that it beeps when its done. The memory recall feature is definitely a plus, esp. when I'm still too drowsy to remember the temp, and the back light feature is equally great. I think this is one of the only thermometers with a backlight. I've been using it with success for the FAM for almost two years know. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
I've been reading the complaints that people have and a lot of them aren't valid or easily solved. Here they are:
PROBLEM 1: This thermometer can't be used as a basal thermometer or to track fertility because it doesn't record to the 1/100th (like 97.39) of a degree.
Answer: FALSE!! Tony Weschler, states in her latest edition "Taking charge of your fertility", a groundbreaking book on the subject of the Fertility Awareness method (and in turn NFP)--just look at the reviews on it here on amazon, on page 76 "Also, it is imperative that it be accurate to within 1/10th degree F. (for example, 97.4), BUT DO NOT USE THOSE THAT MEASURE TO WITHIN 1/100TH of a degree (for example, 97.47) since the latter are unnecessary and confusing." (emphasis added)
-------
PROBLEM 2: The beeps are WAY too loud. They annoy me and wake up my spouse.
Answer: I personally don't find them to be too loud and neither does my husband, but if you do, on the back of the thermometer there is a small hole for the sound. When you're taking your temperature. Simply take your thumb and lay it straight down the back side of the thermometer while it is in your mouth, so that the hole is covered up. I found that this will SIGNIFICANTLY decrease the volume to a quiet, muffled, beep. You can even wrap your index finger around the top part of the thermometer (where it says BD) to give your your thumb some more resistance to press up against, muffling the sound some more.
-------
PROBLEM 3: The back light doesn't come on when it's done taking my temperature.
Answer: When it's done taking your temperature, press the button to turn off the thermometer. The back light will turn on again, revealing your temperature before it shuts off.
-------
PROBLEM 4: For the memory recall feature, the reading doesn't stay on long enough for me to be able to record the reading, and then it is erased.
Answer: When you turn the thermometer on, your last temperature will be displayed for about 4 seconds. If you turn the thermometer off again before it starts taking a new temperature (when it starts to flash), your temperature will actually still be stored on the recall feature. So when you turn it on again next time, it will still be there and continue to be there however many times you do this. Also if the 3 seconds you had before you pushed the off button weren't enough for you to see your temperature, you'll notice that you'll get an extra 5 sec's to read your temp when you press the off button before it finally shuts off.
I hope this helps!
 Useless as a Basal thermometer June 9, 2010

This is NOT a basal thermometer. It only reads to the tenth of a degree...my normal thermometer does that. Temping for fertility is only useful if you can get to the hundredth of a degree so that you can accurately gauge your shifts. Waste of money.
