I use a regular one, and I think If you can (I coudn´t find one to use here where I live, and no site to deliver it here either) because temps will be much more precise (2 decimal digits) Sometimes this small changes can make a difference.

Look at my chart, You´ll understand. The temp changes are abrupt, and a little imprecise.

Hope I helped.
And I recommend again here, do take your temps, it´s great!

You should never switch thermometers mid cycle.

Every thermometer reads temps differently.

My basal was always .5 or .6 off from my fever thermometer, all thermometers are like that. Even 2 fever thermometers will show 2 different temps and this can throw your chart off.

Take your temp with both thermometers real quick and you will see what I mean.

You can either discard your temp or adjust your temp (like, if your BB thermometer is .4 above your fever thermometer, subtract .4 from the temp on your chart and then go back to using your regular thermometer until AF arrives ... hopefully she doesn't though) ...

Good luck this cycle :)
