Customer Reviews of Vicks OviTrack Basal Thermometer
Customer Review: This thermometer is lacking important features
Summary: 2 Stars
I like this thermometer for its shape and because the tip is flexible, thus making it the most comfortable to use.
This thermometer seems to be very accurate, although I have to round the numbers to 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit, in order to record them in any chart I encountered. It might be TOO accurate if you are tired and numbers seem to blur in your head.
However, several features should have been thought through more thoroughly.
Firstly, it does NOT record the last temperature taken, and so you have to read it right away, and possibly remember it until you can get to your chart. I usually take my temperature around 5:30AM, when my toddler wakes up, and I record it sometime after breakfast.
The display is not lit, and for people like me, who take the temperature while it is still dark outside, this means switching on a lamp to read the temperature. Since I kept waking my husband, I now use a flashlight under the covers. Very primitive. And since it doesn't record the last temperature taken, one cannot simply turn it off and read the temperature when it is light.
Thirdly, the On/Off button is located at the end of the thermometer, which in itself is not a bad thing. But I seem to be unable to press it for the right amount of time. Instead of turning it *ON*, I turn it on and then off again without noticing (and keeping it in my mouth while "Off", waiting for the beep). Same is true when I try to turn it *OFF*. Quite often it will turn off and then on before I release the button, leading to a soft beep on my nightstand when it turns off by itself. Pressing the button not long enough leads to no action on behalf of the thermometer.
And, lastly, it does not give you a "Control Beep" while waiting, so I never know if have placed it correctly or if it is turned on (see abovementioned problems).
I will buy the BD Basal Digital Thermometer, after using the Vick's for exactly one cycle.
Description of Vicks OviTrack Basal Thermometer
Fully featured digital thermometer with flex tipAs an aid in increasing the likelihood of becoming pregnant, the basal thermometer is indispensable. By taking her basal temperature every morning at the same time (basal conditions refer to having had a good night?s sleep, 12 hours after eating, no emotional disturbance, before exercise, and in normal room temperature), a woman can track slight fluctuations and determine when ovulation occurs. After keeping track for three months (charts are included), it becomes possible to predict the fertile days which occur just before ovulation. This thermometer features a flexible tip that can be used orally or rectally (once used rectally it should not be used orally), and features a soft-press on/off button on the end, a large digital display, and is accurate to within +/? 0.15 degrees Fahrenheit. A memory function allows comparison between the current and previous day?s reading. The thermometer beeps when the reading is finished, and shuts off automatically. Probe covers and a battery are included. Waterproof for easy cleaning with soap and water or rubbing alcohol, the thermometer measures 1 by 5-5/8 inches and stores in a protective case. --Ann Bieri
