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)

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!

With a traditional BBT you have to wake up at the same time every day to get an accurate reading, not with the Tempdrop! This is the whole reason I bought it, and for that, it works great!It's not uncomfortable, although did take a few nights to get used to. I had it over a year before I had to change the battery which was easy to do. I would prefer if it had a rechargeable battery that I could plug in to charge or even a small charging stand that could live on my bedside table with the Tempdrop.There's only one button, so at first I was not sure if it was recording my temp or trying to Bluetooth sync but it's easy now that I've got the hang of it. The bluetooth sync does take a minute or so, it feels like forever when I'm trying to get ready in the morning.I don't use the Tempdrop app, I just copy the reading over to Kindara. I wish it would sync with Kindara automatically, I have years of data there and I'm just not switching charting apps to use the one that comes with a new device.It is slightly overpriced, I don't think the technology (a thermometer and Bluetooth device) is that revolutionary that it should cost nearly $200 (at the time I bought it). I think the price is coming down but that's probably the main thing stopping most people from trying this. A traditional BBT thermometer is a couple of dollars at the drugstore (free with some NFP classes). Even if they lowered the cost to $30-$60 I'd bet many many more people would try it because tracking BBT is truly a pain without it.Finally, the Tempdrop team seems reluctant to advertise that it can also be used to help avoid pregnancy (as well as achieve it). However, I think if they leaned into the TTA market it would be great for the company and consumers. I would love to see this company succeed because I love the product. I love tracking my cycle/charting, it helps me know my body and feel empowered and I would love to see more women get into it. Right now, the price of the Tempdrop is exclusive but it's a great product and I think if they lowered the price and expanded the market it could be even better.

Update - March 2023: Sharing for anyone else frustrated with their armbands and looking for an almost-free solution.For the last several months, I've been using my TempDrop with a MacGyver'd armband made simply by wrapping 3" wide stretchy self-adhesive bandage around my arm. After turning the TempDrop on, I slide it between my arm and my "armband", and the TempDrop stays perfectly snug without me losing feeling in my fingers in the middle of the night. My makeshift armband is multi-use and way more comfortable than the TempDrop armband was before it broke...Also, I noticed they are now offering different sized armbands. This was not available when I purchased my TempDrop. I hope the new armbands are better than the one that came with mine, but just like the premium features of the app, I refuse to spend more money to use this expensive device. And, why should we when the calendar and graphing features in other 3rd party apps, like PreMom, are free?I still like the functionality of the TempDrop, as I mentioned in my original review. In fact, my temps from yesterday and this morning prompted me to take a pregnancy test -- and it's POSITIVE!!!...................................I really like the concept of the TempDrop. I tried a digital traditional style BBT thermometer, but after waking me up, my dogs didn't like it when I continued to lay there for 1-2 minutes instead of taking them outside or giving them breakfast. They would get antsy, and then start to wake my husband up. The convenience factor of the TempDrop is worth the cost to me. With TempDrop, my dogs wake me up, and I don't even think about getting my BTT. Most days, they're waking me up between 3:30-4:30AM, and I go back to bed. So, for me, the TempDrop is better than taking my BBT in the normal ways.However, the lacy armband while cute, is TOO SMALL. I'm not that big of a girl, but I had to completely let out the arm band, and sometimes it still feels like a blood pressure cuff squeezing the life out of my arm. I suppose that helps it to not move, but I hate the "ghost feel" that lingers on my arm for hours into the day. The sensor has TWICE not recorded or lost the info. Maybe I did something wrong, but, IDTS... And, my last issue is more with the TempDrop company and their app. For such an expensive little gadget, the "premium" features in the app should be standard and free. I know, I know, subscriptions are a gimmick, I mean method, for continued streams of income... I get it. It's ridiculous and I hate it, but maybe after dropping nearly $200 on their product, they could or should offer at least one year of free Premium. Maybe at the end of that year I would want to subscribe because I really like the extras that aren't provided in the free version. As it is now, I am not a subscriber, and I won't subscribe.In conclusion, I like the TempDrop. I would buy a new one if something tragic happened to it, but I will not subscribe to the app.

Was looking forward to this. Worked for only the first 3 days but then started getting error messages. It didn't come with instructions so I had to google how to use it. First error said that data was missing due to power lapse and asked if I had removed the battery before syncing? Which I hadn't so I tried to sync it again and it said I had already tried to sync my Tempdrop today and wouldn't record my temperature. Okay, so the next night I tried again and got the same error message as the day before. I decided to return it because if it only took a week to mess up so there is no telling how many issues I will continue to have and when you are trying to use it for NFP you kinda need it to work.

I love this and it works amazingly!! It makes tracking my cycle very easy and has been helping me a lot with not getting pregnant so I don't have to use hormone birthcontrol or any gels. I can see when I'm getting close to ovulating and can use condoms then and it's been the best way for me to keep healthy and keep from getting pregnant
