OV Watch..

Has anyone ever heard of or used the OV Watch? It seem like a great tool if you are trying to conceive. I ordered one (pretty expensive) and it will probably arrive this week. Just curious if anyone used it yourself or know anyone who has.

Never heard of that, but we used the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. I got it off ebay for about 1/2 what it retails.

Hey Juno..
How long did you use the monitor before you got preggie?

It took me 9 months to get pregnant, but I don't blame that on the monitor. We used it for about 6 months, then I forgot the next two months. The third month, my OB decided I had PCOS, put me on metformin, three weeks later, I was pregnant! I feel like if I had been on the metformin earlier, it may not have taken so long.

The monitor is great though -- very easy to use. We'll use it again for #2 when the time comes.

Well..first and foremost, CONGRATS on your first!! I just received my OV Watch and am anxious to use it with my next cycle. It basically is a wrist watch that digitally tells you your 4 fertile days leading to ovulation. Since I've lost weight, I'm hopeful that I'm ovulating and that this can help us get preggie. Although, hearing about your Metformin experience gives me just as much hope!! I still have some weight to lose but the 40+ pounds will hopefully help since my biological clock is ticking!! Thanks for your input!!
