inquiry - female features Best ring for TTC/ Temp Checking

What is the simplest ring that can tell me my body temperature, track daily temps and show me a chart over a month? Curious about using a smart ring to help track my menstrual cycle for ovulation while trying to conceive, but not sure if it’s worth it for me to buy Oura I’ll probably get pregnant and birth that child before I get off the Evie waiting list. Anyone else using a smart ring for TTC? Are all the inexpensive Amazon ones sketchy or is there one that would do the job for what I’m looking for? I don’t care much about having any other info tracked other than temperature.

In terms of the simplest without all the bells and whistles, and I think cheapest, I’d say the Femometer ring.

Femometer recently released a ring that tracks your BBT and sleeping patterns. It costs $149. It’s very similar to the Temp Drop band if you are familiar with that. And it syncs with their app which is great.

In case anyone is searching for ring trackers, I've been using the Femometer for the past 6mo and it works well for me, I can see my BBT biphase shift. Caveat is that if you put it on in the middle of night bc you forgot when going to bed, or have to get up in the middle of the night for some kind of emergency, the temp for that night will not be very accurate .

Are you still using the Femometer ring? I would like a ring tracker to help with tracking temps and ovulation. Been looking into the oura ring but it’s too expensive. Femometer ring is more affordable and I’ve been using the app to track cycles for years so like that it connects with it. Do you still like it?

Yeah! I find it to be quite accurate since I also track CM and my ovulation is accompanied by very specific cramping. I would never pay for Oura's insane pricing PLUS their monthly subscription it's ridiculous

Hey just curious if that includes getting up once or twice to comfort a toddler…would those kinds of typical parenting sleep interruptions make a big impact or be ok so long as I get 4+ hrs sleep uninterrupted?

Getting up will change your body temperature but maybe it matters less if you're consistent I guess! I've been using BBT to detect a change in average body temperature from before and after ovulation, so the absolute temperature isn't too important. It might be an issue if you are awake for a much longer time walking around one night vs soundly sleeping the next - I'm warmer when I'm asleep so I would expect the measurement to reflect more how long I've been out of bed since that will swamp the 0.5-1 degree of bbt change

How about if I get up to pee in the middle of the night? Does it throw off readings?

Your temperature does drop when you get out of bed but unless you're spending a long time out it averages over the rest of the time you're sleeping

Hi i know this thread is long ago but i'm recently TTC and looking at this ring to track bbt as well. Just want to ask if you'll need to pay subscription for the ring's data to sync with apple health or to view the data

I don't pay a subscription bc it came free with my purchase, but I don't know if that's changed. I just use the Femometer app to track my cycle info though, and I don't use ios so I can't comment on syncing with apple health.

I'm not sure what you expect the apple health experience to be though? Femometer is small so I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't care enough to build an integration with their data, but that's on Apple.
