i'm new to all this stuff... just started charting this month, actually-
anyway... i know i shouldn't try this month, cuz of my mc earlier this month, but i am charting, so i've got a clear idea of when to try, ya know?
but, i was wondering, do you really need to get a special thermometer?? what's the difference anyway? do you take the temp different, or what? sorry if that's a really stupid question, but i'm just learning! heehee~
and where can you buy them?? would Target or Walmart have them? and would they be by the OPKs, and HPTs, or would they be by the thermometers? what did you pay for yours?
anyway, thanks for any answers!

I highly recommend the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler to go along with your new charting regimen - it gives a lot of insight to interpreting your charts.
Good luck to you!

It's my opinion that since you are looking for the general trend in temps that either thermometer would work fine. My first 2 months I temped with a regular therm. and was able to see where I O'd just fine.
You can check out my last few charts. This chart I am using the temps from BBT (i have the regular temps on paper).
