Well, I have started using it this cycle. It measures the sodium chloride ions in your sweat at night during a 6-8 hour period (taking a reading every 30 mins). So, what it is supposed to do is tell me 4 days before I ovulate. It will give me fertile day 01, 02,03,04. Then it will say ovulation day 01,02. Then it will go to less fertile 01,02. So, I am now on fertile day 02. That means I should ovulate in 3-4 days. I have been using my saliva tester, bbt, cm, and opk's because I want to see how accurate it is. I have started a fertile patch of CM, but still have negative opks, and saliva. I'm very excited and curious to find out if it works. I spent enough money on it, I hope it does.

Hi all! First of all, can anyone tell me how to put my FF ticker on here that will link to my chart? That way you can see what it looks like.

Well, I am now in the 2ww. I used opks, and I never got a positive. I never even got a hint of a line, FF got confused with all those negatives, so I just deleted them from my chart. I used my saliva tester, and I got partial ferning at strange times at the begining of my cycle. I got negatives the rest of the cycle, so I deleted the negatives as well. My CM never got EW, but it did get watery, however, I stayed watery (it confused FF also, so I marked it as creamy) for several days after. Now, looking at my chart, my temps line up with my OVWatch readings.

We did an O+12 attempt, so we dtd back when I thought I was going to O on cd10 (based on a temp dip), but that turned out to not be the case. (It was my NCD, so maybe we'll have a successful twin attempt according to smartstork.com). Then, on cd 15 I had O pains, and I got Ovulation day 01 on my watch. We dtd 12 (well, really 16) hours later.

My temps have gone flatlined, and at a really LOW temp. So I was concerned that I didn't actually O. But, I do have a thermal shift. I am now at 7dpo, and today I had a huge temp shift. Yay! So it looks like I might be going triphasic.

Summary? Well, I got negative opk's and negative ferning around O. I also continued to have fertile CM for 3 more days. The only thing that indicated my O day was my temps, O pain, and the watch. So, I say that it works great!

It was nice to not have to keep POAS (like for CBFM). Just put the watch on at night and went to sleep.

Well, there is my long drawn-out update on my OVWatch. Did it all make sense, or did I confuse you all?

Oh, Janita, I didn't answer your question.

With ds1, it took us 16 months to conceive him. I did temps and checked CM. My problem was a 8-9 day LP (Had used the depo shot before).

With ds2, I had my IUD taken out just before my period began, and I concieved 2 week later. My LP lengthened out to 10-11 days. I temped and checked CM.

This time, my LP is back to normal. It is between 12-14 days. We are on cycle #2. So, I don't need all this stuff to help me conceive, but I wanted to try it, and DH consented.

for the update!!!! Very interesting!!!!

Here is how you publish your FF chart. On you chart page look to the left and there is an option called sharing
Just put your mouse over it and it will give you options one option is Home Page SetupClick on that and it will give you your URL. Highlight it and copy it. Then go to insert image on your SK sigggy and past it in!!! I think to make the ticker you just (instead of Home Page Setup) you click on Ticker and do the same as for Home Page Setup...did this help??

this cy!!!! I hope you get your !!!!
