Tempdrop Fertility and Ovulation Tracker –Wearable Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Monitoring Sensor and Fertility Charting App Includes Comfortable Armband (L/XL - 12.5-18.5 Inches)

I have an erratic sleep schedule, as I work nights as a nurse 3 days a week. I do not fall asleep or wake up at the same time on any given day. Tempdrop has been a godsend. Paired with tracking ovulation using OPKs and a fertility-friendly app (I recommend PreMom) that tracks both OPKs and Bbt in one chart, Tempdrop has been amazing. I am in my 3rd cycle utilizing it and as long as I get at least 3 hours of sleep in any 24hour stretch, it has been accurate and easy!The armband can be tightened or loosened but I always keep it a little tight so that the plate of the thermometer stays in contact with my skin at all times. It's not the most comfortable but you get used to it! It does leave a mark on your underarm but it goes away with time and doesn't bother me.You do not have to take it off if you get up to pee in the middle of the night, it recognizes when you are awake or asleep through movement, etc.The battery life says it lasts about 6 months. I'm on month 3 and I haven't had any issues so far, tbd.Pro tips:1. Your temperatures adjust in the tempdrop app every time a new temp is added. For instance, once my temp is synced with the app, the previous 2 days of temps are adjusted so that when they are recorded on a chart (in another app -tempdrop app does not have charting yet), the progression is a steady incline or decline, so as to not look like your temps are erratic and staggered. If using a charting app -remember to adjust your previous days of temps depending on temp drop's adjustments.2. The first 1-2 months utilizing tempdrop, the device is calibrating to your body, so the first cycle will not be accurate, but keep it going! Mine only took one month to appropriately calibrate and now works like a charm with totally appropriate temps. I even double checked with oral temping a few times.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using my Tempdrop arm band since my cycle retuned at 10 months postpartum. Almost a year later, and no unexpected pregnancy! Despite not sleeping through the night, I’ve been able to accurately track and chart my bbt and other symptoms with ease. The band isn’t bothersome. The app is good, and the premium subscription is worth the added features if you’re serious about avoiding pregnancy. My only complaint is that there isn’t a way for my husband to view the data without me showing/screenshotting it for him. It would be nice if he had access to the data so he could plan for our “safe” days. That’s literally my only complaint! I highly recommend tempdrop!

Updated Again to add: after inconsistent use for 3 years (only for a few months when I’m trying ti get pregnant) this tempdrop has been rendered completely useless. I have to open the tempdrop every time I try to use it because it won’t turn on due to the cheap chip they use no longer working when it touches the battery unless I bend the gold parts back to touch it. and then when I try to sync it, I have to do it again which destroys the sync data. Completely worthless and not worth 170 dollars. You can buy a basal thermometer for 35 dollars, and you should at this point because tempdrop now has a subscription service for their product that used to be free other than the sleep data. Really shady and shifty, and sad.Updated to add: I used to be able to see ovulation predictions without paying the premium subscription. I got pregnant and stopped using the tempdrop. Now that I’m not pregnant I am using it again and I’m sad to see you need the premium subscription for any prediction and use other than just logging the temp. I have another fertility tracker I’m interested in that I may replace this with. I had the premium subscription before just so I could use the sleep tracking aspect of the app but now that I need it for every aspect of what this product is supposed to be used for, it seems really cheap of the company to essentially sell a permanent subscription if you want any ease using their $170 product.I use this for tracking my fertility and now I pay for the subscription to track my sleep and I’m really finding a lot of value in that. I’ve used it for a little over a year and just bought the subscription recently and it is really incomplete without it, in my opinion. I find overall value is 4/5 due to high price paired with subscription.The biggest thing that helped me was buying one of those arm bands you put your phone in while you’re running and putting that on my leg at night and slipping the temp drop in there between the fabric and my skin. It has to be tight but not uncomfortable. I store the tempdrop in the pocket when not in use. Keeping the temp drop on my leg (always same leg, same spot) has made this possible for me. Otherwise it fell out every night and I’d lose it. It has been incredibly accurate and on the dot for predicting my cycle.I plan on using it to try to get pregnant soon as well.
