OV-Watch, New ovulation predictor kit

I know what you are thinking, "another gadget!".  Some of you may already be using the pee stick and/or the Basal Body Temperature charts to determine when you ovulate.  However they may not work as the pee stick tells when you are ovulating and by then it may be too late.  Or if you are an early riser for work your body temperature may always register on the cold side, without any of the peaks that are indicative of ovulation.  My patient told me about the the OV Watch last week and I was thrilled to learn about something new.  From what I gather with this product is that it tells you the four days prior to ovulating that is so essential for the most fertile times.  I copied from the Amazon.com website the product description so that you could read about it.  Of course if you go on the Amazon site you can read all the reviews and decide for yourself if this is something that you would like to try.

"OV-Watch is a clinically proven, patented fertility predictor that is cleared by the FDA. It is a wrist-mounted, bio-sensing medical device that tracks a woman's individual body chemistry to find the 4 crucial days before ovulation-her most fertile days of the month. OV-Watch has a special processor and biosensor that takes readings from your skin every 30 minutes while you sleep. This advanced technology works differently from other ovulation prediction devices in that it tracks chloride ion levels as opposed to LH or estrogen surges. It allows you to be able to fully utilize all 6 days of fertility- the four most crucial fertile days of a woman's cycle before ovulation and the time during ovulation. With OV-Watch, there are no messy, urine strips and no complicated charts. Just wear the watch at night while you sleep knowing that you will be alerted 4 days before ovulation, giving you plenty of time to plan multiple romantic interludes if desired. If women use a LH urine kit that only detects hours before ovulation, they may miss their most fertile time since by the time ovulation occurs, the egg, which only has a life span of approximately 12-17 hours, is already beginning to die. Sandra Ann Carson, President of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine states, "Although LH peaks accurately detect ovulation, they do not identify the pre-ovulatory fertile period. Up to two thirds of pregnancies are conceived at or prior to ovulation."..."
