Mother's Day Promotion Success Stories:
I am writing to you to let you know of my success
story. I
am a 36 ½ year old female
who is been trying to conceive for 8 months with no
success.
Given my age, I was referred from my OBGYN to a Fertility
Specialist to
begin testing to ensure everything was okay.
I had spent hundreds of dollars
on ovulation test sticks at the pharmacy with
no success when my sister
told me she read about the OV watch online. As
I have worked in clinical
development within the pharmaceutical industry for
almost 14 years I
immediately
reviewed the clinical data. After
completion of my review, I
decided to give the watch a
chance. I received
my watch in January of 2007 and
was prepared to begin to use it in February
2007. Unfortunately, shortly
before my cycle started I was diagnosed with a
very large ovarian cyst and
was put on birth control pills to try and shrink
the cyst. Upon
coming off of the pill, I
immediately started my first cycle with the OV
watch. Unfortunately, on day 7 of my cycle, I was informed
by the
fertility specialist that I had
high FSH (level 17) and the chances of every
having a genetic child were
pretty much non-existent. I left his office
with a packet on an egg donor
program and a box of tissues. I spent most
of the next three days sobbing,
praying and researching high FSH on the
internet. I did however continue to
wear my watch as I was praying for a
miracle. On day 10 of my cycle I woke up to see the Fertile Day 1 symbol
flashing at me. Over the next few days
the watch continued to progress
toward ovulation. I must tell you that when
the watch started counting
down, I felt hope again. I wiped my tears away
and my husband and I
decided to not give up.
If it was not for your watch I
would still be curled in a ball feeling sorry
for myself. Instead I am thrilled to
tell you that I am 6 weeks
pregnant!!! Yup... the watch was right and the
doctor was
wrong. I am
aware that there is risk of miscarriage this early on
and pray each day for the
ability to carry a full term healthy genetic child. I
have had 2
blood tests that show my hormones are raising nicely and will
be having my first ultrasound next week.
I can not thank you enough for
changing my
life. Your product gave me
hope when I had none. I have
recommended it
to many friends already and will continue to do so. For now, I thought
you would want to know that you helped another couple in their first month with
the watch
My husband and I have been trying for over
one year to have a baby. In March, I used the ov-watch for
the FIRST TIME and guess what... I am pregnant.
Why
didn't I use it before?? Thank you so much. Your
product
is a great predictor of fertility. I've already told several people of the ov-watch. Now, I've
saved
the other 2 sensors for when we are ready again.Thanks! Amy

June's Q &A
Dr. Bates,
How does the OV-Watch compare in accuracy to The Clear
Plan Fertility monitor?
Have you had 40 and over women report better results with OV-Watch compared to other methods such as
Clear Plan etc.? Could
the OV-Watch be helpful with a medicated IUI cycle?How might the OV-Watch be more helpful in a medicated
IUI cycle than other available monitors? Thank you very much in advance for your answers!
Carol :)
Carol,
Many women express frustration with the monitors such
as Clear Plan Fertility monitor and several have sent me their
inaccurate results.Several condition including early menopause or
decreased function of the ovary and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) may give
false reading due to chronic high LH or estradiol levels. In addition, even if the monitor is accurate, reliance on LH / estradiol levels, cervical
mucous, or temperature chances limits many women to hours or a day
notice of the approaching ovulation. Timing is especially of the essence as a
woman enters her late 30s or early 40s. The OV-Watch accurately predicts ovulation and gives a couple 4 or 5 days to achieve
conception each month,dramatically reducing the stress of "timed
intercourse". Research conducted by fertility specialist at Duke University
indicates that the OV-WATCH is as good or better than the tradition methods
in predicting a woman's fertility and was almost 6 times more likely to
predict a 4 or 5 day window of opportunity. The OV-Watch can also be used to determine
if ovulation is occurring spontaneously and to accurately
predict the fertility window in woman on clomiphene citrate. Accurate determination of ovulation and early consultation with a fertility
specialist are of paramount importance when a woman wishes to become
pregnant in her later reproductive years.
Good Luck,
Dr. Bates
