Temp Drop (New BBT monitor + app)

[becwheat]

Someone I know just sent this to me.

Has anyone heard of it before? Thoughts?

ETA: I will say I am intrigued, though I am not ready to pay that much for a thermometer.

Never seen or heard of it before, but it sounds interesting. I'll probably wait to seriously consider it until it comes out and actual people are using it, though.

I like the concept. I don't like that it doesn't sync with FF. Although at one time I was also using OvuView, which always coincided with what FF gave me for CH, so I wouldn't be opposed to going back to that. But it does seem a little pricey, plus you'd have to keep buying the sticky things. I think it has potential.

[brettanomyces]

Yeah, I had read an article about this a while back. It's an Israeli company.
$70 is a bit steep, but I'm sure they'll come down in price once they get into the market.

We should all suggest they set it up to work with FF.

Betcha it'll come down in price. I have an old department store catalogue from 1978 and calculators were like $900.

Plus, if you consider what some people might spend on a BBT and OPKs and a VIP FF membership...

I'm listening.......

[ohinvrtedworld]

Ummmm do want.

[PugMum]

Wow... I'm really intrigued as well. I would definitly pay the $70. I think it would be a little challenging to get used to sleeping with it though.

Interesting note in their FAQ about your true basal tempature being 2 hours before you wake.

It would really be nice on days that I sleep in to not have to wake up to temp.

I want! Tech crunch said $50 and available in October

[peaseblossom55]

I'm curious I'd want to wait a bit to see what the reviews are like and hope for the price to come down a bit.

This is extra good for lots of wine and champagne nights where I sleep through my temp alarm the next morning like I did last weekend. Twice.

[getzystark]

Taking my temp every morning isn't an issue for me. I think the sticky crap in my arm pit would bother me. However, I learned to sleep-ish with a CPAP so anything is possible.

[lazyreader]

I saw this once but didn't like the idea of buying sticky pads for as long as I will temp (which lets face it... Menopause it likely a long way off)
Hence why I went with a wink thermometer instead.

Eta- what if you roll around? How sticky is it??

[MrsC0617]

Hmm, looks interesting. I'd be interested in seeing how accurate it is. If it'll get me KU I'd pay any amount right about now!

Very good point! I was also thinking that working in research, some of the best companies (innovative, intelligent and well organized) I have worked with are based in Israel. I am now more intrigued... 

[Unknown]

Too pricey for me, but if it works that would be awesome! I hate setting my alarms for 6:30 on the weekends.

[dasch14]

I think this sounds awesome! A little too good to be true though....and we all know how those offers go!

Once it's on the market for awhile I'd definitely be interested. If real users seem to like it.

Thanks for sharing!

It looks interesting but most of the time I sleep with one or both arms up over my head. The adhesive concerns me. Even band aids break me out so hate to see what that would do. I see the arm straps. Just don't know if I would pay that much, but heck I spent a lot more for a wifi scale because I like gadgets. Lol.

[renbee]

Lol that one of the apps it syncs with is called "ovulation calendar ladytimer".
