Just a tip for those who take their BBT: use a digital thermometer instead of those old mercury ones. This will give you more accurate info.

I use digital too. I am pretty hopeless with the mercury one anyway!

I also use a Ovulation Prediction Kit (OPK) for more accurate results!

Yes, it's much more effective and very accurate to use. I'm done with the old mercury one..I'm glad there is a new digital thermometer.

They still sell those types of thermometers? Seriously?

I havent seen one in a long time... except maybe in my parent's house!

LOL...

Yes they still make 'em. I have the digital one too ;)

The mercury ones are still quite common. But you have to wait for several minutes to get a reading. The digital ones are better anyway.

mercury thermometers also tend to "go to sleep" when they are not used often. For accuracy's sake use a digital one. they arent so expensive anymore and they are more reliable. just make sure that the batteries are always fresh.

Yes, aside that the digital thermometer gives accurate info, it is also much safer to use..Before, I used to have mercury thermometer, but as soon as I've heard that it's not safe to use, I shift to digital already.

LOL... I didnt know that there are still those who use the mercury ones...

BabeJohnson - October 30th, 2010 2:39 AM

LOL... yeah they still make the mercury ones... I checked! hahahahaha

thanks guys!

Lots of mercury thermometers still in use today in what we would call 3rd world countries. Mercury-based thermometers are cheap. While digital ones are available, it is still very expensive there.

mercury thermometers are still available. maybe they just made too much of them. although digital thermometers are more accurate, some still prefer the old-school thermometers
