I feel like this is such a newbie question, I've charted for almost 4 years (combined) but I still need your help!
My Mabis BBT just died. I've used a Target one in the past and it was horrible. My Mabis has never been great but it got the job done. Are there any others out there I should try?

I got one that is called Reli-on? It was 8$ at walmart
Eta, it had bad reviews but it works fine for me. Someone on our bmb recommended it to me

This is what I bought this fall after my Target one died: [a href=I like the feature that the light just blinks occasionally so you know it's working but it doesn't wake you up, (how many times have I laid there waiting for a thermometer to beep but finally realize I didn't hit the button right to turn it on, and by then I'm awake and my temp might be off?) and then the light turns on when it's ready so you can see the readout. I imagine it's got good accuracy because I'm not ending up with exact same measurements to the hundredth on multiple days as I've experienced with my old one. |

I also use Reli-On from Walmart. Nothing fancy but it worked great while TTC my DS.
Target Up & Up sucks. I used to have one and it gave repeat temps all the time. I did not have good luck with the CVS brand either.

sunshiney, oh good, I just ordered that one. My Mabis always took forever, sometimes so long it would shut off before reading my temp so I know exactly what you mean. It's so annoying that I can't find the perfect BBT. I've searched Amazon and all over Google and it seems there isn't a single BBT with overall great ratings. I imagine if men were charting there'd be a bunch of well-working BBTs on the market 🙄

I'm looking for a bbt as a back up to the ava bracelet that does not beep at all if possible. Just lights up to indicate it's done. Anyone seen one like this?

I use this one too. It has a beep when it’s done reading but it’s very quiet. I had a nexcare one before that beeped the whole time and was so loud. |

I have this one too and it doesn't beep at all. I love it. The one sunshiney linked? Yep. Same one. I always take my temp in the dark (I bedshare with DD and the world would end if she woke up). The light just flashes intermittently to let you know it's working then stays on for a few seconds when done. The only time mine ever beeped was when I tried it in the light. I think as long as you temp in the dark it stays silent. At least mine does. |

If i am remembering right, one beep when i click it to start and one beep when its done I wonder if mine is broken. I have exactly the same one but it never beeps. Only once when I took my temp in the light. It just flashes but is totally silent:/ |
