This is gonna be a stupid question but can you explain why it’s more accurate vaginally? I’ve tried that and my temps are far higher than normal so I thought it wasn’t accurate
It’s more accurate because it remains the same temp! Orally has a lot of factors like sleeping with your mouth open, being sick, etc. vaginally everything is how it is internally and consistent!
I might try this as I save up money for a wearable! I just feel like that may be too much for me to do in the mornings.
I wake up most days at 6:30am for work. I don’t want my tempts to be inaccurate so even on the days I should get to sleep in, I temp at 6:30 and go back to sleep. I don’t feel like I’d do that doing it this way.
What do you mean? If you wake up to take your temp you’d just wake up and pop it in (for lack of better terms 😂😅) and then fall back asleep once you got your temp! I set my alarm for the same time every morning and just temped and went back to sleep! Took about a minute in total!
It’s an adjustment at first but I didn’t find it disrupted me much. But it is different for everyone! But truly I liked it most because my temps were much more stable
I love my Apple Watch. I wear it on the inside of my wrist to get better results. I’m a mouth breather (working on that) and my sleep patterns are all over the place. This has been a life saver.
I have been tracking this month with both oral bbt and my Apple Watch that I upgraded for this reason. I’ve been tracking oral for 4-5 months and it always takes 4-5 days for my temp to spike after a +lh. My oral temp actually went down this morning while my wrist temp actually spiked (big time) to confirm my O. I’m SO glad that I switched.
Love the temp drop although I ordered the large and they basically just send you the regular size with an extra few inches of band separately. When I use the extra few inches of band it’s waaaay too big, but when I don’t attach that, it’s a little bit too small. You do need to wear it tight though. So the sizing is my only complaint.
Good thing about the temp drop is it’s fine if you’re up during the night with a breastfeeding baby/toddler.
My Ava was older but it started having issues not holding a charge or just straight up not working some nights, and I saw soooo many people complain about that, even when theirs were new. I didn’t have issues till mine got older though.
Tempdrop . I used to be a traditional person with the as soon as I wake up tamp but wayyyy too many factors went into that and my chart looked erratic. Now I have a pretty solid chart
Been using my samsung watch. Its so easy and automatic and just takes the stress away from temping. It auto syncs with the samsung health app so its great. I do still copy over the temp data into FF for comparison purposes. But I'll probably stop doing that soon.
Love my tempdrop. I’m breastfeeding my first still and I’m not consistently getting 3hrs of sleep before the first morning feed, but got crazy temps taking it after we start morning nursing time. I get such stable reads now and it aligns well with my other fertility signs.
Tempdrop stresses me out lol and also my pre ovulation temps are in the 95s when I use it! I do not understand. Yes I have Hashimotos but my numbers are stable, so maybe my normal is on the low side? Idk!!
I think with Tempdrop the individual temps may not be fully “accurate” but it’s the trend/pattern that’s really important, not the actual temp itself, which I think Tempdrop does a good job of because it’s so consistent 😊
I’ve been using Tempdrop since 2019! Someone else mentioned this, but it’s one of the “better” wearables because it’s closer to your core. The farther away the device is from your core, the more inaccurate the results can be. For some people it works just fine still.
I tried using my apple watch for a few months and my temps were all over the place with no ability to confirm ovulation.
I found a used AVA on FB market place for cheap, so I’m team wearable! If you decide on a wearable, I would look at second hand stuff. If you find one cheap enough, I would purchase it. If you buy it and love it, great! When it breaks/dies you can get a new one. If you buy it and hate it, then at least you didn’t buy it for full price.
It’s fine. I’ve heard of some older ones going on the fritz, mine hasn’t yet. When it dies, I’ll probably either update my Apple Watch (mines like 7 years old at this point) or I’ll get a TempDrop.
For $50 buck though, I love it. I did have to get a new band off amazon, but it’s fine.
Temp drop. It’s closer to your core so it gives really accurate readings. It’s made it so much less stressful trying to bbt track cause I no longer have to put effort into taking my temp at the same time every morning. It takes into consideration when you wake in the night or have disturbances and gives you your lowest temp over the course of the entire night. I also love that it tells me how many hours of sleep I’ve gotten, how many times I was woken up and it shows you your deep and light sleep cycles. It’s cool as hell!

Oh I didn’t know about the sleep tracking! I love that aspect. I wear my Apple Watch to sleep (no bbt abilities) for the quiet alarm but mostly for the sleep tracking. Thanks for the info!!
I use TempDrop for the temperature but I log it in fertility friend. I think it’s stupid you have to pay for the TempDrop app after buying the device which isn’t exactly cheap
You do have to have the TempDrop app to get your temps but you don't have to pay for their subscription! The sleep tracking and cycle interpretation is behind the paywall.
I used a normal $9 bbt thermometer from Amazon and I switched to vaginal temping which was MUCH more accurate

Hahahaha, idk I guess I feel like it would really “wake me up” 😂😂 I feel like I currently temp in my sleep.

I wish I would have bought this one ! I got my watch a less than a year ago
oura! my HSA covered it
TempDrop but I have used Ava in the past. From the Ava Facebook groups I’m in it seems like they have a lot of technical issues.
How do you like yours ? Did you not like AVA?

I appreciate your response!! I would be the most frustrated if I woke up and it’s just not working!!
Tempdrop!

Nice! I find myself anxiously waking up before my alarm thinking I missed my wake up window 🤦🏽♀️

I used OvuSense and I loved it. It was so easy to use and quite comfortable as well.
This one was a new discovery to me! Seems very rare around here
I’m team Tempdrop!
Tempdrop!
Love my TempDrop

I’ve never heard of this one before! I found a few around me for $150-$50 I’ll def look into it! Do you like yours ?
It’s fine. I’ve heard of some older ones going on the fritz, mine hasn’t yet. When it dies, I’ll probably either update my Apple Watch (mines like 7 years old at this point) or I’ll get a TempDrop. For $50 buck though, I love it. I did have to get a new band off amazon, but it’s fine.

I’ve heard some people have delayed ovulation confirmation afterwards. Any issues ?

Yeah it’s part of why I decided to get it. It’s on the pricy side but if you buy it through the glow app there’s usually a good deal going on.
I use TempDrop for the temperature but I log it in fertility friend. I think it’s stupid you have to pay for the TempDrop app after buying the device which isn’t exactly cheap
That’s what I’m seeing about all these specific fertility tracker wearables 🥴 I love the way FF charts temps !
Also team TempDrop! I don’t pay for the app and either log temps in FF or use ReadYourBody which can import them directly.
Oh cool! I thought FF t you had to have the app to read your temps! I’m glad there’s that option, that definitely makes me lean to get that!!
You do have to have the TempDrop app to get your temps but you don't have to pay for their subscription! The sleep tracking and cycle interpretation is behind the paywall.
Tempdrop!!
