When to start using ovusense
A fertility monitor that works?! | Ovusense Review
hey everyone and welcome back to my
channel and welcome to today's video I
am so excited for today's video this
video has been in the works for a while
now and as you can see from the title
today we're talking about the obvious
sense so a couple months ago I uploaded
a video about the AVA bracelet the pros
and the cons - the AVA bracelet if you
haven't seen that video I will link it
in the description for you and up in the
cards you can go watch that really quick
if you want to know my thoughts on the
Aemon bracelet but spoiler alert I'm not
a fan of the AVA bracelet yeah you can
go watch that video if you're interested
in my thoughts on that but today I
wanted to sit down and finally film my
thoughts on the obvious sense it was
really cool a few cents actually saw my
video about the AVA bracelet and they
were so confident that I would like the
obvious sense they did offer to send me
one to give it a whirl those of you that
don't know me um my name is Kelsey I've
been going through infertility and
infertility treatments for over two and
a half years now I do have PCOS which is
polycystic ovarian syndrome and yeah
we've been through a hell of a road if
you haven't caught up on our journey
this is what our YouTube channel is
about we document our infertility
journey here so feel free to subscribe
and let's just get talking about obvious
okay so when are we since had first
reached out to me I wasn't super
familiar with what obvious sense was so
let me break it down for you real quick
if you also aren't too sure what obvi
sense is here's my obvi sense yes I'm
gonna show this to you
this is a medical device and it's
amazing what this little thing can do so
I'm gonna show this to you this feels
really invasive to my personal privacy
but whatever so this fun little device
goes where you think it goes yeah this
bad boy goes into your vajayjay and you
sleep
with it in and it is I caught a little
it looks like a little bull sperm
yeah okay we're gonna put her away now
because I feel really weird showing this
to you yeah that's the obvious that's
what it looks like yes this does go in
your vagina and you sleep in it okay so
let's talk about what the obvious sense
does compared to other fertility kind of
methods and tracking and other devices
okay so first and foremost the obvious
sense is a fully certified medical
device and it's been through not one but
two clinical trials another thing that I
think right off the bat I need to say
that I like about obvious ins it's
obvious it's is marketed toward those of
us with polycystic ovarian syndrome ear
regular cycles medicated cycles IUI IVF
oral medications you name it this device
is made to go along with that if you're
not on fertility meds that's fine the
obvious sense is great for you too but
that is what attracted me so much to the
obvious sense when they reached out they
were like you have PCOS you're going
through route ility treatment this
device can help you and boy has it I'll
dive into that in a minute I just want
to kind of clear up some things about
well obviously isn't what it does okay
so you might be thinking what does that
little device do while it's in your body
so what obvi sense is doing while you're
sleeping is tracking your core
temperature and core temperature is
absolutely different than basal body
temperature so if you've been a TTC or
for a while you might be familiar with
basal body temperature it's when you
take your temperature first thing in the
morning at rest and you charted in a
graph so obvious it's kind of takes it a
step further so obvious and can detect
ovulation 24 hours in advance to let you
know like hey girl it's time to baby
dance
you're about to do this and it also
gives you an eight-day fertile window so
I know some like obvious population
predictor kits give you like a three to
four day one they're really not accurate
if you have PCOS because your LH hormone
can spike in our relation cannot occur
obvious ins can actually catch all of
that and it's really amazing like what
that little computer device thing in
your body is doing so like I was saying
like doing your oral temperature or
ovulation predictor kits they can not
actually tell you when you ovulate it or
when you're about to ovulate and they're
not completely accurate especially if
you have PCOS so obvious ins is 99%
accurate obvious ins can detect the
initial rise and progesterone right
after ovulation which is really cool and
you'll start to see once you're tracking
in obvious ends kind of what your what
your hormones are doing if you are on
meds if you aren't on meds it will it
will track all that for you and give you
some really interesting information okay
so a little bit about my experience with
the obvious sense it was I've had it now
for well I've actually had it longer
than two months so I attempted to use
the Audrey since and I'll pop up
screenshots here of what my charts look
like I attempted to use the obvious
sense for our very first attempt at IU I
and if you guys follow my channel you
will know my very first I oh I actually
was cancelled due to overstimulation so
we had a little bit of a hiccup in the
road and I stopped using obvi sense
because I did have to go on birth
control to shrink assists long story
short anyways this last cycle we also
used the obvious sense while attempting
I you I and I learned a lot of valuable
information from obvious ins so much so
that I actually told my doctor about it
and we are tweaking my next I you eye
protocol so we pop up a picture here of
what this my chart looked like this last
cycle and a couple things about it so in
my cycle that we did IUI we did the HCG
trigger shot and if you are familiar
with that that shot just forces your
body to ovulate the follicles that you
have created so we did the trigger shot
and we
did my ioi about 24 hours after the
trigger shot and if you don't know also
the trigger shot forces your body to
ovulate within 12 to 48 hours after it
was shot while wearing obvious sense I
actually learned so here's a picture of
my chart and I circled where we did the
trigger shot I found out through my
chart that I have actually one of the
48-hour
avi leaders after a trigger shot not a
24 to 36-hour ovulate er like a lot of
people are so with that information I
learned that our next IUI needs to be
done a little bit later we did my I UI
24 hours after trigger and now from
obvious ins I have asked my doctor if we
can do i why 36 hours after the trigger
shot if you don't know washed sperm from
IU I doesn't quite live as long as
regular sperm because it is washed and
that it dies a little bit faster so
doing the IUI around closer to ovulation
gives your body more time for the egg to
meet up with a sperm well they're still
living so I do think that my iöi was
done a little bit too soon and obviously
it's helped me figure that out I would
never have known otherwise so that is
probably my favorite feature about avi
sense is that it confirms your ovulation
date and the longer you use it so say
you use it for a couple cycles it gets
to know you even better it predicts your
fertile window when you're gonna ovulate
so I think it's really interesting you
can also input little notes in there of
the medications you're on yeah so I am a
big fan of this I okay so to preface I
have not used the obvi sense not being
medicated I was curious and wanted to
see some charts of some PCOS gals that
have longer cycles and obvious ins
helped them conceive so I'm going to
show you guys a couple of those charts
that I have found most of these women
had longer cycle
some of them shorter but you can tell
the the more rapid big changes and a
chart is a kind of an indicator of some
hormone imbalances it shows that like
your temperature isn't very steady
when I was on progesterone during the
two-week wait after ovulation you can
see my chart was pretty pretty steady a
lot of women that are using obvious
sense so once you have your ovulation
confirmed it tells you that you can stop
using the sensor but I know many many
many women continue to wear the sensor
throughout the two-week wait because
they like to watch their temperature
continue to rise aware temperature
increase during the two-week wait can be
a pretty solid indicator that you could
be pregnant and then an indicator that
you are not pregnant in your period is
coming is usually if your temperature
line dips below the cover line of where
your ovulation was so it's really
fascinating obvious has a really helpful
Facebook groups that you can join that
I'll leave in the description if you're
interested even if you can check it out
before you buy you can read all kinds of
experiences I've posted in there a ton
just like asking questions cuz you know
it's it's a lot and their customer
service is really helpful so I did just
want to talk about like my very first
couple days using obvi cents the very
first night using it I will not lie I
was freaking out just like is it gonna
fall out is it gonna go somewhere what's
gonna happen am I gonna get toxic shock
syndrome like all the things so it was
really sweet the obvious ins social
media people I don't know if that's
their job but they talked to me on
Instagram DMS and assured me and it made
me feel better once the obvious sense is
in it has nowhere to go like your vagina
it's theirs you can't get through the
cervix like it's not happening so the
only way out is out so I do want to say
that if you are gonna hop on the obvious
inch train
to not be nervous there's nowhere for it
to go it falls out falls out you put a
fry back in I did want to mention that
the way this detector is read is it
comes with this thing called an NFC
detector or adapter thing it does have
one of these bad boys so if you have a
newer phone make sure you have a dongle
so you can actually plug it in or you
can do what I do and I use my iPad I
just leave my iPad in the bathroom wake
up in the morning rinse off my office
and it's real quick you connect it to
this bad boy it senses it and don't
worry if you wash it in cold water the
obvious sense is smart enough to know
that the temperature of the water you're
washing it is not a normal human
temperature and it retains the
information that your body is giving the
sensor so no worries there do you
suggest you follow obvious sense on
Instagram they will tell tell you about
different promotional periods they're
doing where you can get a good discount
on the obvious sense I did want to say
too that their website is very
informative so if there's anything I'm
not touching on that you're curious
about highly highly suggest you check
out their website it has a lot of
information it looks like kind of my
thoughts on obby sense I am a fan I am
very impressed with its knowledge I will
say I did get a little bit nervous
because it predicted that I ovulated
sooner and as I continue to wear it it
did bump it back a day so don't get
discouraged if maybe your first round
with it it's not a hundred percent right
away it will figure itself out
throughout that cycle and tell you
affirmative ly when you ovulated so your
line might move might not move so just
stick with it give it a second cycle and
I promise it's gonna figure your body
out it's gonna know it's gonna tell you
things that you it's the information you
want to know you know obviously if
they're sending one sending me one to
try and really appreciate it and I look
forward to continue to use it until
we have succeeded yeah I think that's it
I will see you guys in the next video
bye
