I was wondering when TTC is there a difference between a basal thermometer and a Regular thermometer if so what is it and which one is better to use or more accurate? Thank for any help ladies.

Basal thermometer is definitely what you want.  It gives a more precise reading of 4 digits, which can be critical in determining some ladies temp shifts.

Basel def gives a more accurate reading, sometimes your temp rise maybe only .07 But that is a def rise. 98.11 vs 98.18. GL MOMMA

I think the key is though...use the same one throughout that specific cycle. For me, I have HUGE swings in temp, so the BBT wasn't needed, but Igot one anyway. Some women, like the 2PP's said, have small shifts and need the accuracy.
