Customer Reviews

So-so Product
I bought the Mabis BBT after the store brand BBT I purchased took five minutes to give a reading. I researched this one well, and was excited to see it only took a minute and was inexpensive.

Yes, it's quicker than the bad thermometer, BUT it takes more like 2 minutes to register, and the display is NOT "large and easy to read" by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it's quite difficult to read without being tilted in the right light, and the display is the same size or smaller than most of the thermometers I've seen.

I believe it IS reliable and accurate. Plus, it's only around $8 at my local Kmart (I was desperate to get one quickly). It recalls the last reading, and the beeping when it's done isn't annoying or loud enough to wake me up fully (a good thing, for me).

Overall, I think this is a fair product in the lower BBT price range, but there are likely better thermometers out there if you're looking for speed and ease. I would keep this one if charting was a shorter term activity, but because I'm planning on doing it for years to come, I'll likely buy the BD Digital Basal Toni Weschler recommends (though it looks like Amazon doesn't currently carry it, unfortunately).

Not too happy
I bought this thermometer at a pharmacy. I agree with the previous reviewer that the display is not large and easy to read. I don't even try to read it in the morning, but use the memory recall to record my temp when I get home in the evening. However the little button you have to press to make the beeping stop is the same button you press to recall your temp. The button is small and already in a depression on the thermometer, so it's not easy to press. I have trouble with it even when I'm not more than half asleep. If you mash the button too hard in the morning, your temp will not be recalled. Very very frustrating if you are waiting to "get down to business" after a fertile phase, but you don't know if your fertile phase is quite over yet because you can't get your temps. I'm trying something else. Best of luck to all of you!

Not useful to have temps to 100th of a degree
As someone who has successfully practiced FAM to get pregnant (first try with both of my girls), and is trying again, I can tell you that it is not useful (and actually confusing) to have a thermometer that reads to the 100th of a degree. You are forced to round up, round down, or try and create a chart that can accommodate this. They specifically discourage them in TCOYF.

I bought this one because my old BD basal thermometer finally kicked the bucket. I didn't realize this one read to the 100th of a degree. I'm tossing it and ordering a new BD one, which I think is the best.
