BBT on Apple watch

[OnePinkDuck]

I guess more of a technical question but I’ve tried every which way and every setting but I can’t get my Apple Watch to track my BBT - I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! What settings do people have it on to make this feature work?!

Hey,

I didn’t think it was working and then after a few days it started showing! It should be under ‘wrist temperature’ in ‘health’ and then I’ve added it to my favourites.

I have my phone in ‘sleep’ mode and it has to be charged to at least 30%.

Let me know if you need anymore help as I was so confused at first! X

Yes as above you need to use the sleep focus thing and do it for a few nights before it gives you the reading

@TTC1990 @FortyFacedFuckers

I tried sleep focus but couldn’t even work out what that setting was so could have done it wrong - and didn’t realise it took a few nights. Will try again and give it more days.

It’s doesn’t feel like they make it logical and easily!

Do you find it monitors it accurately (given you’ve managed to get it working!)

@OnePinkDuck do you have TikTok? I had a look for videos on there which helped me work it all out!

It’s my first cycle using it but it has shown a BBT peak after ovulation and then it has stayed up. So seems to be working! X

@TTC1990 will do a search.

I don’t think I would be any good at taking it manually as I’m just not a morning person and so pretty sure I wouldn’t be doing it at the right time in the right way! 😂

It takes a while to work. Mine took four days to start recording, and two months or so before it confirmed ovulation. It seems fairly accurate although it’s obviously a lot more sensitive than “traditional” BBT, so things like sleeping with your arm out of the cover or being a bit unwell seem to affect it more.

It often disagrees with ovulation sticks to me, annoyingly!

It does need to be in sleep focus, and have at least 30% battery; as others have said. It will record the temperature when you end sleep focus, even if it knows you’ve been awake for a while.

There’s me giving advice and now my wrist temp doesn’t seem to be tracking. I’ve not changed anything. It’s always on sleep focus and fully charged. Could it have broke? My son did throw it on the floor quite aggressively the other day! It’s not tracked the past 2 nights…

@OnePinkDuck did you get any luck in the end? I agree, I don’t know why they make these things so complicated!

It took 5 days for mine to update but you have to put your phone on to sleep every night before you go to bed.

Mine was very accurate as every month before my AF my temp would drop.

This month it stayed high up until AF and I got my BFP x

@TTC1990 Nope nothing yet but will give it a few more days, I’ve been putting it on sleep focus every night (except last night when I forgot to take my watch off charge 🤦🏻‍♀️)

@Louloubaker Congratulations, that’s wonderful news for you! Hope your pregnancy all goes well!!!

@YouveGotAFastCar I’m going to do sticks as well I might buy a regular basal thermometer and try and do that as well but I just know with what I’m like in the morning and I will forget to take it 😂

@OnePinkDuck if you’re still struggling, I called Apple support yesterday and they were amazing! It was really useful and they fixed my issue. Have you completed the recent software update? Mine was stuck on ‘pending’, which is why my BBT measuring had stopped. Just an option incase you need it. Good luck with TTC! X

@TTC1990 so I got it working (yay) and then it stopped again suddenly, but started working again after the software update.
