Best BBT thermometer & app?

[Mummytobe93]

Hi ladies

There’s very little chance I’ll get my BFP this month - if I don’t I want to start TTC properly next cycle.

I missed my surge on the OPKs this month so I’d like to start tracking my temperature too.

Which thermometers & apps do you recommend? There’s quite a few I’ve found online, some cheaper than others. I don’t want to break a bank, but I need something reliable.

Thank you & baby dust to you all✨

Hi there

I've been TTC for 10 months but just starting my first month of temping.

I'm using Femometer, it's seems simple enough, even though I don't fully understand what I'm meant to be looking out for. I've signed up for 3 months which is £17.99 so I guess quite reasonable.

It's also quite good for a general fertility diary. You can log your period, symptoms, moods, etc

Hope that helps! 👍 x

I'd avoid femometer - their charts are much tougher to interpret as the scales are too big and their algorithms to detect ovulation tend to be pretty rubbish.

I'd say fertility friend is the most used/veteran bbt app out there. It looks old school but tends to be really accurate compared to a lot of others I've seen. Just make sure to log OPKs and CM as well when you can.

Been BBT since March 2020 so have done the rounds on these apps!

Thanks ladies!

How many times a day do you the OPKs? I was doing morning and evening, worked most of cycles for me but this month when I actually stated TTC I missed my surge …

If it's the cheapie dipstick ones I just use them around 11am or second wee of the day (they tell you not to use FMU). If it's got something going on I might try again around 3-4pm and if faint then just the one per day.

Basically if nothing is happening at 11am I don't expect to peak that day.

Thanks ladies!

I’ll order my thermometer as soon as AF arrives 🙂
