Real-life stories from OvuSense users and essential information from fertility experts
While trying to conceive, it's very likely that you will start to try and understand your luteal phase. You are right to be considering it, because if your luteal phase is too short (less than 9 days) may cause complications in trying to conceive. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to help.

When thinking about growing your family, finances are one of the first considerations that come to mind. If you have an HSA or FSA with your health insurance, good news!

Your doctor may have suggested that you have a progesterone test to confirm ovulation or to assess your progesterone levels in the luteal phase.
Ladies, it is with pleasure that I am over the moon to tell you all that I am pregnant again. Baby No. 2 is on the way, due March 2018! I conceived with OvuSense 3 years before this after 18 years of trying.
I knew I was from my Ovusense chart, sadly and annoyingly I missed a week of using it! I really want to know what happened in that gap but the end result is the same. ❤️
Doctors said I'd never have children without IVF...pfffft. Prolactinoma, screw you. PCOS, suck it. MTHFR, kiss my Ass!
Eight years trying for my first, 2 months for my second. I've beaten all the odds twice now and so can you

Tragically, some women experience a premature menopause as early as their 30’s or 40’s.
There is no definitive age when fertility starts to decline and every woman is different, however it’s important for women of any age who are struggling to conceive to get advice sooner rather than later.
Women will generally experience the menopause around the same time that their mother did. So, ask your mother how old she was when she went through the menopause. This will give you a good idea of when it may happen for you

Hi, my name is Kirsty and I’m pregnant with my second baby after using OvuSense for 2 cycles. With OvuSense, I was able not only work out, if and when, I was ovulating, but how long my Luteal Phase was. Turns out, we were trying to conceive at completely the wrong time.
