How successful is the OV Watch???

Jmendez83 · February 2010

It's been 7 months since I had a miscarriage and my DH and I are ready to TTC. My obgyn instructed us to wait for 3 AFs before we try. It's been 3 cycles later and we began trying early January. My cycles are out of whack to begin with and are every 40 days. The first day of the last menstrual cycle I got was Jan 12 and now I am waiting for AF this month. According to the 40 days, i was suppose to get it during these days and haven't seen a sign. Now that you've read a brief description of myself, i had a couple of question in hopes of an answer.

I ran into a friend the other day and she asked me how things were. I knew what she meant with that question so I told her that we just started trying again in January. Then she told me about the OV Watch. That's how she got pregnant with her second child. What I would like to know, is, has anyone on this board used it before? How does it exactly work? Do you wear it to bed every night for a month before bed? I really dont understand this. Can someone be kind enough to explain it to me?

I am sorry for your loss. The OV watch probably won't work for you because your cycles are too long. It only works up to 35 days or something like that. I've also seen irregular cycle ladies on here use it and have it be off by 4-5 days (O confirmed with charting).

I bought it, I am trying it this month....you wear it for at least 6 hours/night... from the website

"OV-Watch? is worn on the woman's wrist while she sleeps. Women start wearing OV-Watch? on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd day of their menstrual cycle and wear it through ovulation. It measures a woman's changes in her chloride ion levels that are secreted in perspiration every 30 minutes and records up to 12 readings per period. OV-Watch's patented technology detects the chloride ion surge and alerts the woman to FERTILE DAY 1, FERTILE DAY 2, FERTILE DAY 3, FERTILE DAY 4, OVULATION DAY 1, and the day after"

For me it's a little too pricy where OPK's and charting temps can tell you the same information.

I think the OV-Watch goes up to 39 days. I bought one and tried to use it, but at the time I had SUPER long cycles and so I didn't O until well after the watch ran out.

Unfortunately, it caught on to my "o-fakeout" and counted down to a date that I didn't end up O'ing on. I was charting my BBT at the same time to confirm ovulation, so I know it was a fakeout. I only used it one cycle.

You wear it in your wrist every night and once you start to get your chloride ion surge (before your LH surge) it starts to count down.

I've since passed down my OV-Watch to Heathercara and she'll be using it next cycle, so you could ask her how it goes.
