What's the difference

between a basal body thermometer and a digital fever thermometer - beside the price??

I understand the difference when using an old fashion mercury thermometer, but I can't seem to fathom why I should spend $$ on a BBT.

The basal thermometers are only $10-$15 and it's what you need to chart. You will not get an accurate temp with a regular thermometer.

I know you should use a BBT, but I didn't. I used a regular digital that I had at home. It worked good enough for me.

Basals usually read to the hundreths instead of just the tenths so it is more accurate.I got mine at Rite Aid for like $12.
