I love my tempdrop! I have PCOS and so my cycles can be hard to read. I also am not a morning person so remembering to take my temp every morning just didn't happen. This has been my favorite tool in understanding my fertility and charting. Since using tempdrop I'm also not caught unawares with my period either as I can notice the shift in temp the day before and be prepared. When my kids accidently threw my temp drop away, support was super helpful in getting me set up with temp drop care, a replacement and a new band. I tell all my friend who want to chart and use more natural methods of family planning to get a temp drop.

I'll start by saying that the idea of the Tempdrop is amazing. Being able to use Fertility Awareness methods that depend on taking your body basal temperature without having to worry about waking up always at the same time is really great. Also, Tempdrop is a small company that is really in tune with their community and their customer service is great. My problem is the product itself: it is a very flimsy, delicate product for its price, so you have to be aware that having warranty (or their optional extended warranty / insurance), is basically a must - which makes the product even more expensive than the price tag you see on their website. I was excited to get my Tempdrop, but I made the not-so-smart decision to buy it during pregnancy (hoping to use it right after the baby was born) - as a result the device was sitting in my drawer for many months until I got around to using it. When I finally had the chance to use it postpartum, the experience was great - until the battery ran out. Changing the battery is like walking on a minefield. The device is extremely delicate (or should I say flimsy), and you are supposed to pry the little thing open to replace the battery (a common CR2032 coin battery). My first battery replacement went wrong, but luckily I was still covered by my original 12-month warranty, though not for long. The company promptly sent a replacement sensor, but warned me that, obviously, my warranty would not be extended to cover the life of the replacement sensor: that's just not how warranties work. Looking back, I should have waited to buy it when I actually needed it, and I should have bought the longer warranty package. But I didn't know then what I know now... I had some very happy 11 months of Tempdrop usage with my replacement sensor, until the battery of this sensor, too, ran out. I braced myself for the battery changing process and did my best to be careful and delicate to the little drop-shaped device. Alas, it did not work. I probably inadvertently pushed the sensor while prying the unit open, and after I closed it again, it would not turn on. I put a little piece of paper to hold the battery in place, and that worked for two days, but after that the temperatures stopped showing in my app. Customer support said it was a faulty sensor, but that since I'm now out of warranty, there's nothing they can do other than to offer me to buy their extended warranty retroactively and have a new sensor sent to me for $108. Surely better than nothing, but it is still quite a lot of money. I passed. The bottom-line, for me, is this: Tempdrop is a great idea from a great company that needs some time to get more mature. Until then, having a Tempdrop is more like a very expensive subscription service: as long as you have warranty, you're all set. For me, the price no longer justifies the convenience, and I will be back to my trusty BBT thermometer and my early morning alarm.

Ive never been able to chart my temps. I've tried with a standard bbt therm and it was SO stressful. With a history of disrupted sleep patterns, insomnia, which when finally healed went into having a baby+nursing through the night... without tempdrop I wouldnt stand a chance! How could i possibly get consistent temperatures... Tempdrop is cute and well designed. I love everything about the design and the branding. It is truly a gift to women who would like to practice charting and FAM. I still dont really know how to read my charts, but im getting temps, and now I can learn.

I wanted to love this product, but it's hard for me to trust it because I don't have enough information about how it works. How does the algorithm work? Should it adjust temps if I enter that it's the first day of my cycle, or that I've had alcohol the night before? Without more information, I feel blind. I'm using it as birth control, so I need more precise info. It works – as in, it takes your temp – but my temps with the device are a bit all over the shop. I even bought a different arm band, one that others on the FB group recommended, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Which brings me to my next point: It's ridiculous that I need to buy a new armband (because everyone else says the one that comes with is flimsy, which it is), AND pay for another app because theirs is so basic and looks like it was designed in 2001. If I'm paying this much for a thermometer, I expect not to have to buy more stuff, and I expect what comes with it to work perfectly. I wanted to return this, but unfortunately I bought it on Amazon (due to international shipping being cheaper), and didn't realize they only sell the most basic version there, which can't be returned.

This is everything I hoped it would be and more: easy to use, intuitive, straightforward to incorporate into my life. Arrived quickly during a pandemic from the states to Europe. Highly recommended.

Tempdrop was the best thing I ever did. Brilliant customer service. I have been using for around 3 years now, its become part of my life.

This device makes NFP SOO much easier!! I'm a light sleeper who wakes frequently so it was always difficult to get an accurate reading - not anymore! My only complaint is that you have to pay for the device, and then pay an additional subscription charge for data calculation.
