Tempdrop, Fertility Tracker, Smart Thermometer, Basal Body Temperature Bbt Wearable (Standard)

I have been wanting to track my cycles including ovulation and when to expect my period using my basal body temp and charting for YEARS now after reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility but I just could NOT get into the habit of temping because I wake up at all different times during the week, or I’d forget, or the thermometer would be too dark to see and I was too lazy to get out of bed or I’d be in a rush in the morning and skip it. I really wanted to get serious about tracking, though, and I randomly came across the TempDrop on Amazon and omg it has CHANGED MY LIFE. It’s so so so cool to be charting now, and SO EASY. I just slip my temp drop on my arm before bed, and then hit the button in the morning to sync quickly to the app - it’s super quick and easy and I’m actually seeing when I ovulate and I know when my period is going to come - life changing!! Absolutely worth the money in my opinion. I DID have an issue where after just 1 or 1 1/2 months the TempDrop just died on me - just wouldn’t turn on anymore and I was SO upset because I expected it to last way longer than that and because I was so upset to not be able to chart after charting my first full cycle and loving how easy it was. Well I had a GREAT experience with customer service and they had me send a video/photo of me trying to turn on the TempDrop and when I showed it wasn’t working they quickly sent me a new one. I’m so SO grateful and my new one has been working just great. I’m so grateful I came across TempDrop and so grateful for the customer service being willing to help!

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.

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.

I like the Tempdrop and recommend it to anyone who asks. The only reason why this didn't get five stars is because it goes through batteries pretty quickly. Now, I have noticed that mine tells me to replace the battery once a month, but that I can usually get away with at least two months on the same battery. The battery life is the biggest downside. I like that it requires little effort, other than remembering to put it on. It's accurate for my purposes, the arm band is adjustable and comfortable to wear. It records your temperature frequently throughout the night. You have to sync it to your phone every 2-3 days. If you want to track your sleep, you have to pay/subscribe in their app. It's not unreasonably priced, but if you don't want to track your sleep I can say you're not missing too much from avoiding the subscription. I don't use their app much to log symptoms or anything but that is available. It also integrates with Apple Health!

I gave it two stars because it does track temperature, but it's missing the other stars because the battery life is a joke. I have been using this product since November 2025, currently about 8 months of off-and-on use (off and on because much of the time it wasn't usable because of the battery). I have gone through SIX battery changes in that time. After the first one, I hadn't even used in for a couple of months before it started giving me fits, and the company sent me a new sensor. However, that one has since gone through the rest of the battery changes. And yes, I've tried brand name batteries as recommended. I feel gaslight when I contact the company, as if somehow I am causing this. My car remote uses the same battery and doesn't need changed more than once every 1-2 YEARS. So this is pretty outragreous. I have tracked my cycle/temperature for over 22 years, I am familiar with cycle tracking, and I was hoping to find something simpler than a thermometer, but this is not it. I'm moving to a new product now. Less than a year of Tempdrop was enough for me.
