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?

Morning ladies! My temps have levelled out this morning and had the same temp as yesterday! How are yours looking @MO22 @Loz365 ? I really want this month to be the month! I don’t think I can deal with the disappointment again, though I feel like I’ll never be so lucky!

@RMS0209 how’s your chart looking?

My chart incase anyone wanted to see!

Good morning!
@Peonies94 that's great, so officially done dancing for that reason this month? Woo hoo.
My temp is looking ok, slight drop this morning but was awake more than I was asleep last night and a banging headache this morning.

Really hope this is your month, hope it's all our months xxx

Morning!

My temp has come back down again after the alcohol spike yesterday. Dipped slightly from the day before but hoping it's a fluctuation rather than anything else

@Peonies94 me too! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but also (secretly) desperate that we're going to have succès this month. Your chart is looking good! X

@RMS0209 yes! I’m done!!! Yeah that would be amazing if we had our month!

@Loz365 doesn’t seem to have dropped too much, could be just normal fluctuation! Seems like alcohol had the same effect for you as it did me!

im hoping to give alcohol a miss next TWW just to see my chart steady for once! Timings haven’t worked well for me recently with plans!

@Loz365 I know’ I’m really trying not to get my hopes up, but at the same time I have worked out my due date and googled all sorts!

@Peonies94 yep, I try every month to say I won't have any alcohol but then there's always an event that comes up! And I can't face dealing with the questions about why I'm not drinking. Silly really!

Hahaha I've done exactly the same and googled due dates!!! 😂 so glad I'm not the only one hahaha

Morning guys!
@Peonies94 your chart looks so good... Nice to see it levelling out.
Mine still seems a bit off, but I realised that I had 4 hours sleep Friday night and 5 on Saturday, and I think it says it needs a minimum of 6 hours?! 😬
At least it's still high, but I don't have great hopes for this month so trying not to obsess.
@Loz365 yours looks good too!

@RMS0209 how you feeling about this cycle? You doing SMEP?

I'm still testing with OPKs each day I think until AF, just in case I have ovulated... We shall see!

*haven't!

@MO22 it needs to be worn for 6 hours, to get atleast 4 hours of rest in I think! So if your laying down etc that’s fine, otherwise it won’t download! If you have lots of movement though thst could cause temp to raise etc! It’s so hard not to obsess though isn’t it!

All these charts are looking good! 🤞🏻😍 x

Hello all!
Can I join? I'm 8dpo today and this is constantly taking over my mind! Had a slight dip today on my chart this morning, but like the pp, just trying to see this as normal fluctuations. I also had a few drinks on Friday which I think accounts for that higher temp.

Does anyone know at what stage temps start lowering if AF is due? I'm due on Sunday, so might just try to hold off testing till then!

@theblueflowers charts looking good! Welcome! I think it depends on each person! I started spotting last month and my temps stayed high, I stopped temping then due to the spotting so didn’t see any further along! Some peoples drops before AF comes along!

@theblueflowers ii wish I had the willpower to hold off that long! Fair play to you!!

@Peonies94 thank you! It's nice to chat to people who get it! My husband finds the whole thing bizarre, especially the shape of the sensor 😂

I'm saying now that I will hold off testing... I've had a positive pregnancy test at 9DPO before so the temptation is going to be so strong tomorrow!

@theblueflowers ahh I know! I get on edge between 6dpo and 9DPO, and I usually start spotting by then! These 4 days though I really struggle! I just imagine that I’m pregnant and fantasise! Is this your first child or do you have other DC?

@theblueflowers if you do a test, keep us posted!

Does anyone else find the second week of TWW particularly harder than the first part? I’m just here wishing I could go to sleep and not wake up until Friday! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Peonies94 this will be my first child. I've had two previous miscarriages so it's been a ride so far!

I knew that I had PCOS due to crazy long cycles, but got it confirmed by a private consultant last week, which was sort of a relief! Unfortunately NHS just didn't want to know until I'd had 3 miscarriages, and because I'm not overweight they kept saying I probably didn't have PCOS. I got ovusense after my first miscarriage as it was such a mess due to me not knowing dates- my last period before conceiving in December was October which was obviously not right, but because of this the whole thing got dragged out for weeks. I got pregnant in February after using ovusense for one cycle, but that one wasn't meant to be either.
Funny you mention spotting- I have literally just noticed some now. Never had this with the last pregnancies, but trying my best not to put too much thought into it (ha!). I have no idea how long my LP is as I've never tracked a whole cycle without getting pregnant so this could well be just my 'normal' length and AF is on its way.

@theblueflowers spotting can ge a pregnancy symptom and af symptom and I’ve heard of so many people have it for pregnancy! I always spot around 9DPO though which is af for me! Aww sorry to hear you’ve had such a rough time! Must be so hard!
thr irregular cycles are so hard! I had one in September and then nothing until new year! Makes it so much harder! That was my longest one! Ahh okay! Good luck! I hope you get some luck soon!
im ttc my first too! It’s been 17 LONG months! I shouldn’t complain I know much longer for others!

@Peonies94 I think you have every right to complain! It's so exhausting being on edge every single TWW, with the second week feeling like a year! I'm coming up to 10 months trying, so nowhere near you, and I'm so fed up of feeling like my life is on hold! Sorry if you've mentioned it earlier, but have you had any testing?

I feel you! Wishing life away.
I've already decided today... CD11 that it's not my month... maybe I need to sleep for a few days and wake up with a different attitude 😂 x

@theblueflowers yes, I’ve had generic bloods (never specific days due to random irregular cycles) and had a scan but that’s it! Was told all seemed normal, but that something was causing irregular cycles! Back then I had like 100 days, 60, a few 50s and shortest 40s .. since then I’ve had two 28 day cycles!! 🫢! Was told to go back in another 6 months if still no luck! This was month 13, so another 3 months to go! I’ve had one what I think was a chemical but nothing else at all!

@RMS0209 isn’t it nice to know others are in the same boat, but most importantly how many people look back at these conversations years later having successfully had DC! I know the feeling about wishing life away!
for me it’s :-

week 1- wishing af away!
week 2 -sometimes Up to week 8/10 for me - waiting patiently for a peak OPK (now temp rise)
ovulation week- sex, sex, sex, and worrying you still haven’t had enough sex!
then TWW- ahh imagine I’m pregnant? When would I be due? Let’s Google that feeling/this sensation! Etc!!

anyone else?!

I don’t feel like I can enjoy any of the things I use to enjoy in my life! Or I have to make conscious effort to make sure I enjoy them, as I’d happily spend my life thinking about ttc and planning everything around it!
