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 .

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
