Wearable Ovulation/Tracking Devices

Deciding Between Wearable Fertility Monitors

In this article I will compare two wearable ovulation/tracking wearables. The two I review are TempDrop and Ava Bracelet. There is an important takeaway to note between these two wearables that may help you decide which one is better for you. Investing in a wearable tracker can give you beneficial insight into your menstrual cycle. If you decide to order either TempDrop or the Ava Bracelet, I have a discount code for you to use!

TempDrop

The key takeaway for Tempdrop is that this wearable is great for everyone with any cycle type. You can use temp drop if your TTC, TTA, have irregular periods, etc. Tempdrop is not affected by a lack of regular ovulation events. Tempdrop is a wearable thermometer, placed on your upper arm and is worn throughout the night. While you sleep, this smart device is able to measure your lowest body temperature.

TempDrop Features:

  • Filters out disturbances like inconsistent waking times, sleeping with the AC or fan on, sleeping under a heavy blanket, etc.
  • Tempdrop can be used by anyone.
  • It takes 14 days to begin to show trends, but give it up to 60 days before relying on it as a means of TTC or TTA.
  • No charging needed! The battery has to be replaced every 6-12 months, but no worries, you will receive a notification from the Tempdrop app when the battery is running low.
  • It gives you lifelong access to your data, even if you stop using the device.
  • It can be used with any fertility charting app, not just the Tempdrop app.

Ava Bracelet

The biggest thing to note about the Ava bracelet is that it is only accurate for women ovulating regularly. To use Ava, you must have a cycle length within the range of 24 to 35 days. Ava Fertility tracks physiological signals that act as markers of your fluctuating hormone levels. This allows it to detect, not simply predict, which phase of the menstrual cycle you’re in. In addition to fertility tracking, Ava Fertility displays other health parameters such as:

  • Basal body temperature
  • Resting pulse rate
  • Sleep duration & quality
  • Heart rate variability
  • Breathing rate

Ava can detect five of the six days in a month when you’re able to conceive, plus, with the additional health measures that Ava has, you can track when you’re in the best place to have a baby!

Ava Bracelet Features:

  • Worn as a bracelet and sleep with it on through the night.
  • A built-in vibrating alarm function, to wake you up but nobody else.
  • It gets more accurate the more you use it. It learns your cycles one by one.
  • It takes 2 full cycles before it is completely effective.
  • Syncs to the Ava app via Bluetooth.
  • Not water resistant!
  • Not marketed for women who are TTA or on hormonal BC.
