OVUSENSE (ovucore)

[Peonies94]

Is anyone using the ovusense? I have irregular periods and have been ttc for over a year! I have just purchased the ovusense but not sure what to expect! I am wondering if there are any other users?

@RMS0209 I see it! Yes sorry, I missed a few messages!

@Moosh18 ahh okay! Interesting! I had a few drinks on Sunday night (the huge rise) but I also had a really restless sleep!

@Peonies94 do you agree with @Moosh18 it looks ok? My peak must have been wed/Thur as opks slowly doing down now x

@Peonies94 chart looking great also! Sorry forgot to type that x

@RMS0209 chart looks good! May have been a slight dip! Hopefully you’ll see a rise soon! If Thursday you may not ovulate until Saturday but probably today? Though I had my peak 3 days before, so be patient! Have you DTD plenty of times? Good luck!

Thanks! Between the both of you reassured me
Yes DTD - monday/Wednesday/Thursday and tonight (hopefully)
Looking forward to seeing your chart tomorow xx

Why do I wake up looking forward to seeing what your guys charts are doing 😂😂 this is what ttc does to you!!! X

@RMS0209 that’s good going! I’m still gutted I didn’t cover the day before, but I covered most others, I just hope it’s done the trick! The frustrating thing is that this cycle is looking to be normal, the next one could be like 90 days or whatever!
@Moosh18 ahh I agree! I love seeing yours too! Keep them coming. I’ll upload mine in the morning will be interesting to see where it is after no alcohol today! Think I’ll see a drop, but we’ll see! We’re officially into the second week of tww. How long is your LP usually?

@RMS0209 let us know how yours goes too, it’ll maybe raise tonight to show ovulation, and if not you should definitely see the increase tomorrow 🤞! Good luck! Can’t wait for you to join us on the tww!

@Moosh18 haha and my highlight is waking up and sending my chart in to you guys for review!

@Peonies94

You've got the other days.. stay optimistic,sending you lots of luck! Hope this is the trick needed.
I hope you get another cycle (if need be) to be normal again.
Thanks for keeping me sane with charting... hopefully I'm less of a pain next month when I understand it more x

@RMS0209 @Moosh18 even though my temps and my cb told me I had ovulated, my body didn’t display signs and I think as I’m use to such crazy cycles I didn’t believe it! So for the first week I was considering to continue to DTD every other day just incase . We usually do SMEP but with long cycles it gets very long winded, as sometimes we have like 3-4 peaks so it’s a bit crazy! But I’ve come to accept that I probably am in my TWW now, so haven’t DTD for 4 days! I just hope I have actually ovulated! Time will tell if af or positive test arrives I suppose!

@RMS0209 yeah I’m hoping (for both of us) that we won’t need this next month, but if we do, we’ll be here again I’m sure! I’m hoping it’ll make more sense next month and I’ll trust it more when it tells me I’ve ovulated!

It’s true though! MN is full of super supportive people when you can’t talk to any real life friends/family! My DP is great, but he’s not always the best and most interested when I talk chatting to him and OPKs!

Hi ladies! Please can I join! My OvuSense arrived this week and AF has just finished so going to start using it from tonight.
I've got PCOS and we've been trying for 16 months now. My cycles were super irregular (I had 3 periods in total last year, longest cycle was 6 months...!!) I've started inositol and my cycles are now 27-33 days (yay!). My GP has been fab and referred me to fertility clinic last year so I was seen by them in Feb. I had my progesterone checked but ended up getting it done too early and it came back as low. I'm waiting for my next appointment but they mentioned possibly starting letrozole and I'm hoping OvuSense will help give me a better idea of whether I'm actually ovulating!
Apologises for the ramble - that was much longer than I was expecting it to be 😅

@Loz365 hello! Ahh super irregular cycles here, but apparently not PCOS! I have started inositol too, but I’m not sure if it only works for PCOS! Glad it’s working for you though! It’s so hard not having many chances isn’t it😢! Good luck! Hope your ovusense helps you know if your ovulating or not! Good luck! Also been trying the same amount of time as me! Good luck! ☺️

So I think AF is almost out the door, really excited to use it! Probably will wait until tomorrow night just to be sure, but have been reading the chat about alcohol.

I don't drink lots but I do drink... Is this going to affect it and make it harder to read?

@MO22 it shouldn’t too much if you drink regularly maybe? Or if you don’t drink excessively? I’m not a drinker regularly, but when I catch up with friends we drink quite a lot, go out for the day, a meal a few bars kind of thing, so I think it has affected mine (see tte two highest readings) but then I don’t drink each week, sometimes months without, so maybe affects me differently. It shouldn’t affect the overall reading anyways, so goodluck! !

I drink a few nights a few but only a glass or too. Never really go out out or anything, and my readings are still very readable 😂

So, I've been reading today, and apparently spearmint tea is AMAZING for irregular cycles! So going to try that and the ovulation supper vitamins next month x

@Moosh18 I've been drinking spearmint tea for the last month or so for this very reason! Apparently great for PCOS.

I'll be interested to see how alcohol affects mine, I don't drink every night but maybe once during the week, like 2/3 glasses and then occasionally a bigger one on the weekend. I've tried to cut down anyway post MC but tbf sometimes I'm sad and just want a wine!

@MO22 I get ya! I'm so sorry about your Mc, it's truly heartbreaking, the month I got my positive was actually the one month I didn't track didn't stop drinking or take any vitamins etc, cliche I know, but I'm trying to just take things as they come for now.... apart from tracking ovulation, as I just don't have the energy to do it every other day, for 50 days 😂😂

@Moosh18 ahh that’s probably the difference for us! It’s not a regular thing for me but slightly excessive!
@MO22 it’s hard enough without trying to cut everything out isn’t it!! The few glasses shouldn’t effect it! I had a day of sharing a few bottles of wine, and some gins too!

@Moosh18 ah did you have one too? So sorry for you loss. also do you have PCOS? Im torn between just letting go and hoping it happens but I'm a control freak! I was hoping the ovusense would mean I don't have to POAS so manically and also I am desperate to confirm ovulation each month as the PCOS makes me paranoid!

@Peonies94 I mean to be fair I do get amongst it on the weekend sometimes ha.. just hoping it won't affect any readings. I've never done BBT so I'm quite excited to look at charts like a geek!

So should I see temp go up during ovulation? Or down?

@MO22 ah it has to be done sometimes doesn’t it!! So you will sometimes see a dip before ovulation and then a raise afterwards. This is my chart so the one where it starts going up was predicted as ovulation. I then have two higher readings which were the alcohol days (one was rubbish sleep too). Ovusense is good at ignoring one off spikes so it just creates the green line which is the average then! (If that makes sense) I’m new to temping too!

@Peonies94 oooh that looks great!
So did you stop using it because you ovulated? I thought if you could keep tracking it shows pregnancy if it stays high?

How long have you been using it?
And when did it first give you a predicted fertile window? Sorry all the questions ha

@Peonies94 thanks for the welcome! So nice to have somewhere to talk to others going through similar experiences! I feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant atm.

I've read a few mixed things about alcohol and monitoring BBT. I don't drink regularly but it's nice to have a few glasses of wine after a stressful week haha!

Are you guys monitoring with OPKs as well?

@MO22 no, so the ovulation is where the ticker blue line inside the green is. Thst shows ovulation, I’ve worn it 6 times since then. Will stop in a few days before af arrives.
this is my first cycle. I wore it last month but it was after ovulation (I didn’t know aT the time but period come 6 days after wearing) this is my first full cycle.

so this month I used OPKs and had static smile on Tuesday and then I wasn’t given a prediction, only told once I had ovulated. So just DTD every other day, I wanted the ovusense mainly as I’m so irregular, and wanted to know if I ovulate ot not, as with the irregular cycles it’s hard to get post ovulation bloods isn’t it!

@Loz365 no problem, yes using OPKs too to make sure we get plenty of DTD.

nice to have some more people join us!
