Heya, I don't know about everyone else but I got mine online, so not sure about where to go get one in person. I would suspect most chemists would have them?

OK so a digital thermometer would suffice or are there actual thermometers for this sort of thing? See i have no idea! But im sure a digi would be fine right? ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2128f6">

Hiya, I haven't bought one but have checked them out at the pharmacy. They are definitely digital and are called Basal Thermometers - don't make the mistake of buying a regular one. You can find them round the same place as the HPTs. Funny that!
They cost around $30. |

Make sure you get one that goes to two decimal places, makes a huge difference when you're charting.
Good luck!! -------------

| I just got mine from the chemist, in the same area as all the HPTs and ovulation kits etc. Was $30, and goes to 2 decimal places. |

Have fun... most important is to take your temp at the same time everyday.
I have my alarm set for 6am everyday, even on the weekends... I just roll over, take my temp and go back to sleep. When I get up I turn the therm on see what my temp was that morning. -------------
