Great thermometer

Despite the other reviewers comments, I actually love this thermometer. Yes sometimes you think its on and its not but this doesn't happen a whole lot.

Some of the complaints people have:
Complaint: It doesn't beep as it takes your temperature.
My response: When I'm taking my temperature and my husband is sleeping next to me, I don't want to wake him with a constant beeping. The beeping the thermometer makes when you turn it on/off is not annoying...however, I'm sure a constant beep would annoy my husband. I've had a beeping thermometer in the past and I've hated it!!

Complaint: It doesn't have a light
My Response: Get a small flashlight and keep it on your nightstand. Or press a button on your cellphone to get a light to see the temperature.

Complaint: It doesn't save your reading once you turn it off.
My response: How hard is it to remember a temperture reading until you can record it somewhere else? I have been doing this every day for the past 6 months and have never forgotten the days temperature when its time for me to record it elsewhere.

Complaint: It gets stuck in its protective cover.
My response: Why do you need to always put it in its protective cover. I certainly don't store mine that way.

All-in-all I think this is a great thermometer. It has been very accurate for me!

Does what it's supposed to do

I purchased this thermometer to (of course) track my temperature throughout my cycle and see when I am ovulating. The first thermometer I received from Amazon didn't turn on at all. I replaced the battery (ridiculous since it was brand new, but I tried it anyway). It turned on, but would not do take my temperature. I called the company and they said the error I was getting signified a low battery--but of course I had just changed it. The woman on the phone did make a point of telling me that this thermometer is designed for women--apparently my voice is not feminine enough--but I pointed out that since it is oral, it should work no matter your gender. Anyway I sent it back to Amazon. They immediately sent out a replacement and I received it the next day. And they paid the return shipping on the broken one. Amazon's customer service could not have been better!

The new thermometer I received works just as advertised.
1. It beeps when you turn it on, you wait a couple of seconds and then start taking your temperature. It usually takes about 45-60 seconds and then it beeps again to tell you it's done.
2. It measures to a 100th of a degree, so for example it will tell you your temperature is 98.68 instead of just 98.6.
3. After it has been turned off, you can turn it back on and keep pressing the button for 10 seconds and it will show you your last recorded temperature, so it does have a memory. That seems to be one thing that people keep complaining about--just read the directions, it does have a memory!

It is not backlit, so you do have to use a light to read the temperature--I just use the light from my cell phone, though, so I don't wake up my husband. This thermometer is much more accurate that others I have had. Overall, I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to check their BBT.
