Product Reviews of OV-Watch Fertility Predictor Starter Kit with 1 Month Supply of Sensors
Product Review: Works like it claims
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recently had a tubal reversal and wanted to help my chances of getting pregnant right away, so I looked in an ovulation kit.
Most of the other kits required urine testing and according to my ob-gyn a lot of women miss their fertile time by relying on them. Ov-watch was different and easy to use. No messing with urine strips or guesswork.
I am on my second cycle and I was real concerned I was going to miss my fertile period because my cycle this time was a little off. I need not have worried since the Ov-watch knew exactly how many days from my last cycle and is calculating correctly.
I would highly recommend this product for anyone wanting to optimize their fertile period for a sooner pregnancy. Ov-watch works like it claims.
Product Review: Yes, it really does work!
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I have been TTC for a while now without much luck. The pee strips just weren't working (plus ew!) and while I'm not at all *crazed* to have a kid or hearing any bio clocks ticking, the truth is I'm not getting any younger so it's sort of now or never. The watch confirmed what I already knew, I have around a 20 day cycle and always have (AF sometimes twice in a month is not fun!). The one fault on this watch is that it generally reads. What I mean is there is a fertile day 1, 2, 3, 4, OV day 1 & 2, and then less fertile days 1 &2. Well, not with my regular cycle. First of all, the status change only pops up at midnight. So many days, I was in fertile day 1 all day and it didn't read until midnight. When it said fertile day 1, I was actually in day 2. Then by the time fertile day 4 came up, I had already ovulated.
So our timing was still completely off (although it was better than the pee strips which for me gave zero warning before ovulation).
We went to a RE to try to make things happen on more of a predictable schedule plus I'm slightly hypothyroid & my husband is no spring chicken so we just wanted to make sure everything was working right with both of us. After all the tests, everything works and so I was put on a first round of clomid with an IUI scheduled.
Now here is where the watch made a huge difference. The first cycle on clomid, all my watch sensors failed (bad box) which threw everything off (it happens quite a bit and that plus the general cycle problems is why this product gets 4 stars instead of 5). We went by the RE's schedule for that IUI and even with the trigger shot, it was unsuccessful (even though for the first time ever I had a 28 day cycle).
The second clomid/IUI cycle with a working ov watch? On day 10 the watch at midnight read fertile day 1. After talking to the doctor who was shocked that I was already starting to ovulate, we scheduled the IUI days earlier (on fertile day 4) and never needed the trigger shot. The doctor had me take tons of pee tests to confirm ovulation, but all of them came up negative (as they tend to do with me). I trusted the watch even though the doctor I think was pretty sure we did the IUI too early.
So guess who had a positive home pregnancy test result today? Tomorrow I go in to confirm with the doc! (Wish us luck!)
So yes, the watch does work better than anything else out there today even if you don't fall in the "standard" 28 day cycle and even if you're on clomid. It was an enormous help and although it could be better (read individual results instead of a standard ovulation cycle and if the darned sensors always worked!) it is a great tool that has probably saved us a lot of wasted IUI attempts and $$$$.
Good luck and baby dust to you! XD

I got pregnant before I even had a chance to use the product... maybe next time...Product Review: worked for us
Summary: 4 Stars
We had been trying for about 2 years to conceive, and then decided to try this watch. We were pretty sure our issue was timing related so this worked perfectly for us and we conceived the first month using this watch. The watch itself is bulky, but I left it on the nightstand each night (not in the plastic case) and only re-wet it once or twice. While we might have learned the fertile window by temping or using the "free online methods" referenced by another reviewer, this watch allowed us to just hang out and wait for that fertile window without temping, charting, etc. We can't wait to use it for our next baby!
