Mothering Method

Kegg is a one of a kind in the FemTech arena. It tracks the changes in electrical current in cervical mucus which are a reflection of hormone levels.

It's (almost always) on sale for $280 with a 6 month guarantee for trying to conceive. However it's algorithm has around a 3 cycle learning phase and when I tested it last year, it missed my most fertile days until the 3rd cycle. So it might really only be helping you conceive those last 4 months of the trial.

Cervical mucus really is the best biomarker to track to identify the start of fertility each cycle. If you never see cervical mucus and have a hard time identifying sensation, kegg might be for you.

However for most people learning to track cervical mucus is the better option. It's way less expensive and you can accurately identify your most fertile days the first cycle of tracking.

Basal Body Temperature is the first biomarker researched to track fertility and is extremely effective to confirm the progesterone rise after ovulation.

You don't need anything fancy, a basic oral thermometer will work (I have some in my Amazon storefront under Charting, linked in my bio). The main issue I see with oral thermometers is consistency (especially postpartum moms).

Thats where the Tempdrop Fertility Tracker shines, you put it on before bed and it does all the work for you. It even works with broken sleep perfect for tired moms.

Smart rings that track BBT is a growing market, and sounds great in theory. What I have seen in my clients and from other FAM instructors is they are not accurate enough. Because its worn on your extremities they are more sensitive to environmental temperature changes (e.g. Did you sleep with your hand under your pillow or between your legs?). So maybe save your money unless you want them for the other health tracking features.

Urinary hormone tests are extremely popular and can run you $10 - $100 per month 🤯

The biggest variance in cost is how many hormones you are testing.

Over the next few days I'll share more on the various options, how they work and my opinions on them.

There is a lot going on in the FemTech world and its overwhelming! They all claim to be the best device on the market, but how can you decide if it really helps you meet your goals?

Stick around as we break down how each type works, the major products on the market, the information it gives you, and how that fits into the bigger picture of your goals.



Urinary hormone monitors have been around since the 80s. Most people are familiar with the single use ovulation tests that measure LH, but multi hormone tests are becoming more popular.

This is ofen the most expensive category of femtech with mira, into, and proov requiring testing most days of your cycle.

Basal body temperature is one of the most evidence based practices for charting your fertility. However with lots of wearable thermometers flooding the market, it can be hard to figure out what to choose.

Follow along for a breakdown on if you can trust these wearables with your fertility tracking.

Kegg is a breakthrough on the market, measuring cervical mucus as a predictor of fertility. Cervical mucus is essential for s***m transport, so analyzing its quality is a true insight into fertility.

However in my personal practice kegg missed my most fertile day the first two cycles. We will break down in depth my experience using Kegg.

Vital wearable might he the biggest growing market in FemTech? But do they really provide the insights they claim?? Or are they just overpriced jewelry...we are going to break it down, so follow along.
