AVA fertility tracker, BBT and OPKS 😵‍💫

[Stickly]

Hi everyone,

I come and go from the conception threads (due to fragile mental health) after an extremely traumatic few years. Maby some of you will recognise me but basically I've struggled with recurrant miscarriage and also a loss to SIDS. I feel time is pressing on for me and I'm more desperate than ever to concieve before it's too late.

I bought 2nd hand an AVA fertility tracker and i don't fully understand BBT, which I think is the main indicator to seeing if you ovulate. My temps look all over the place and I'm on CD13. Has anyone used the AVA monitor and found it reliable? Would anyone be willing to have a look at my chart for me? I normally use OPKS'S and hoping I've missed my surge whilst working because normally I have one between CD 10 and 12. AVA is predicting ovulation for me in 2 days, do you think this is correct?

I really would appreciate any input. I have so many hurdles to get past and now struggling to get over the anxiety of not concieving at all since my last miscarriage in March. Can't get over a niggle in my head that all the 2 D and C's, 2 c sections and endo surgery have caused scarring. Hopefully it's just the anxiety talking :(

Sorry, can't find the edit button. Just to say my cycle was tracked from CD7. Not ideal but took some time to arrive.

I've never used Ava but have you tried OvuSense? I found it much more reliable and easier to use than traditional methods of tracking temperatures. Have you also tried accupuncture? It might help you with stress if nothing else.

Im sorry for all your losses, it can be a very difficult process. ❤️

Ovusense is well out of my budget but ca see how it'd be more reliable! Not tried acupuncture but open to alternative therapies. Definitely considering reflexology.

Hey there, lightly late to this but I found this post when googling the exact same thing regarding AVA! This is my first month trying it and I'm now sure if it's accurate.

I have found adding the temps from AVA into fertility friend gives you a more accurate ovulation date, FF told me I ovulated last Thursday based on the AVA temps but the AVA app is saying I ovulated Sunday, even though my temps suggest thursday as well. I'm not sure ava is reliable but will give it a few more cycles. Like today ava has my temp as being below the coverline but my thermometer is saying it's still really high. I have no idea which one to trust. I ordered ovusense but it isn't compatible with my phone and they don't do refunds 😑

How have you found ava since your last post?
