    Single-use thermometers accurately record basal body temperature, offering a reliable alternative to traditional mercury thermometers. They are particularly beneficial for women in fertility clinics who struggle with standard ovulation thermometers.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive endocrinology
    • Medical device technology

    Background:

    • Accurate basal body temperature (BBT) tracking is crucial for fertility awareness methods.
    • Conventional mercury thermometers can present reading challenges for some individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy of single-use thermometers compared to standard glass mercury thermometers for BBT charting.
    • To assess the potential utility of single-use thermometers in clinical settings, particularly subfertility clinics.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients simultaneously used both a standard glass mercury ovulation thermometer and a single-use thermometer.
    • Separate daily early morning resting oral temperature charts were compiled for each thermometer type.

    Main Results:

    • Single-use thermometers demonstrated accurate temperature recordings comparable to standard mercury thermometers.
    • The study confirmed the reliability of single-use thermometers for BBT monitoring.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-use thermometers are a viable and accurate tool for basal body temperature charting.
    • These devices offer a practical solution for women experiencing difficulties with conventional ovulation thermometers, enhancing their use in subfertility management.
