Fertility Gadgets

(a.k.a throwing money at anxiety)

Hi all,

I recently got a tempdrop after charting with a standard bbt intermittently the last 3-ish years. I went a little nuts looking at all of the options for wearables (ava, there is a ring??), and also like advanced testing things (there is the old fertility monitors  that seem to basically have been replaced by CBDA tests, and Mira, possibly others) plus Proov tests. Basically I thought you ladies might have some insight into these things, and positive/negative reviews to share. I looked for a thread on this but couldn't find one, so forgive me if you all went over this like 2 months ago, but I thought it might be a useful stand-alone thread.

So:

Have you ever used one of the "advanced" fertility gadgets (ie anything above BBT and opks)?

Did you find it useful for charting/cycle info?

Do you think there are particular types of people that might benefit from certain gadgets(If you get irregular sleep, have PCOS, short cycles, weird OPKs, etc)?
