This is how your daughter accurately measures her BBT with Teena

  • Use your Teena every day after waking up and before you get out of bed.

  • Please be sure to sleep at least one hour before taking your temperature.

How BBT tracking works

  • Place your thumb on the touch field (for 4 seconds) until you see a quick flashing orange light, to turn Teena on. Teena is now ready to take a measurement.

  • Within 6 seconds, place the sensor as far back as is comfortable under the right or left side of your tongue and then close your mouth. Make sure the sensor tip is touching the bottom of your tongue. The orange light will continue to flash during measurement.

  • A slowly flashing turquoise light means that the measurement phase has been successfully completed. If you see a alternating flashing orange and turquoise lights or Teena changes into turquoise flashing after the 6 seconds, it means that the measurement was unsuccessful and you will need to try again after the device has turned off.

  • The confirmed measurement status displayed is valid until midnight. You can view your measurement status again later in the day by briefly touching the touch field once again. The next day, your Teena switches to the measurement ready status.

  • Confirm each menstruation day through selecting the Plus button in the Teena App.

How does the synchronization with the Teena App work?

  • Turn on Bluetooth® on your smartphone, open Teena App and and select the Synchronization button on the right side of the screen.

  • Turn Teena on. A slowly flashing turquoise light will illuminate on your Teena and synchronization begins automatically.

  • The Teena App will display your temperature measurement after a successful synchronization.

Does the "Teena App" work with Android and iOS?

Can I use Teena if my sleep schedule varies?

Yes! Everyone has problems sleeping from time to time, stays up late, or sleeps in. It does not matter for this method because it recognizes and evaluates its own pattern to display the follicular and luteal cycle phases.

How long until Teena knows my personal cycle?

The first 2-4 cycles of use are considered the learning phase. Over the course of the learning phase, Teena will come to understand your cycle and begin predicting your next menstruation with accuracy.

Where do I measure with Teena?

Below the tongue in the pocket next to your lingual frenulum (that’s the muscle line you feel running along the underside of your tongue) and with your mouth closed. It is best to measure on the same side each morning with the sensor tip lightly touching the bottom of your tongue if comfortable.
