To ovusense or not?

[smarty14]

We have been told we have no fertiity issues so have been sent home to loose weight and try naturally

I have irregular periods and when they do come they can last longer than 7 days.

I'm wondering whether to try ovusense or not? 🤔🤔

Any reviews good and bad?

Thanks

Ah fingers crossed they prescribe it for you. I have to get my bmi down before they will prescribe it.

Yeah its meant to help regulate periods. Its medical or anything but doctor recommended it and thought you can't get better than a docs recommendation

Hey ladies. Mind if I join?
My OvuSense is coming today and excited to get going!
How are you all getting on? Xx

Hiya @ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia its going okay, although it hasn't stated that I have ovulated even though I probably have, I messaged support to double check and they said to keep temping.

I think cos it's my first cycle. I had a really strong OPK on Saturday (CD20) so just waiting for my chart to catch up with itself!xx

@SunnySunshine1990 oh that’s cool. Would you recommend to carry on OPKing for the first cycle whilst it’s still collecting data? X

@ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia I wasn't going to but I was getting EWCM for days and there was no difference with my temps so I ended up buying some and double checking so I'm glad I did cos by the looks of my chart I wouldn't have known I was close to ovulation without the OPK xx

So my chart is now saying I ovulated CD20, my peak OPK was that day though so it doesn't make sense :s x

That is weird. Maybe your egg was released really quickly and hopefully it does tally up?
Does it only tell you ovulated once your ovulated?
Xx

Yeah it seems that way, I had nothing until today, maybe it's just cos it's my first cycle :s I would defo recommend using the OPKs alongside this now as the window could easily be missed xx

@SunnySunshine1990 how long are your cycles normally? At what point do you start OPK’ing? Xx

Mine are stupidly long, between 30 and 55 days. I usually start around CD20 but because I had EWCM so early this time around CD16 I started doing them from then, they take over your life though ha!! Do you use them?xx

Yeah I have done before but didn’t last cycle as like you say it does take over your life and was just trying to have a ‘relaxed/if it happens it happens’ cycle.. put that’s pretty impossible with such irregular cycles!
How do you track your EWCM? I don’t notice CM being different apart from at the end of my cycle when it’s thicker and creamy (sorry TMI). I don’t know whether I don’t get much or I just don’t know what I’m looking for. Xx

I totally understand what you mean, it's hard to be relaxed about it when you are not entirely sure when you will ovulate and therefore it has to be timed right, it's not just a case of have sex anytime and get pregnant (I defo thought this was the case until we started trying!!)

So I usually check when I've been to the toilet, check the tissue and when EWCM is there you can see it on the tissue, it's sort of shiny and stretchy.

Do you check the position of your cervix? I do that also, so when checking I would have a little feel around and then check what CM is on my finger (defo TMI sorry!!). I am only just learning about cervix position and it being open closed etc. There's so much to it!!x

Because mine had said I ovulated and stop using i did after a while

1. because i started a new job and was so tired from it i was falling into bed
2. i didn't want to get my head stuck in it when it said stop after a while.

Now i wished i had stayed doing it because even though it said i had ovulated i feel like this is prime time!

Oh the joys of irregular cycles!!! 😞
