5 WORD REVIEW:

Worth it! Simple and Accurate

Honest, Unsponsored Review of Ava Fertility Tracker. This is the old model that I have, but it is still working well, 3 years later!

Overall I would definitely recommend Ava for anyone who wants to start a family, track their cycle, finds data comforting, and wants to get a move on things.

Let me just say, it’s SO HARD to wait to get pregnant after you decide you want to start a family. Some of my friends were fortunate to get pregnant right away (as in alarmingly soon after deciding) and for some if takes years to meet their first babe. I am one of those people who wants a project to be done 5 minutes after I start so naturally I wasn’t into the whole “when the timing is right it will happen.” I also had a fear that I wouldn’t be able to conceive after years of presumed endometriosis pain. When we finally decided my back was in a good enough place that I could carry a baby, I had waited for 4 years so I wanted to get knocked up ASAP.

NOTE: Ava does not work if you are taking hormonal birth control or fertility treatments/medications that effect your hormones.

I came across some Bachelor ladies sharing about the AVA fertility tracker on Instagram.. It is $279 (but you can get $20 by using my referral code, and it sends me $20 that I use towards more unsponsored reviews). It is a bracelet that you wear for AT LEAST 4 HOURS AT NIGHT. “Ava has been shown to detect an average of 5.3 fertile days per cycle at 90% accuracy (algorithm performance may be improved with more regular cycles, and diminished with less regular cycles).”

After getting tired of the bathroom smelling like pee from ovulation pee tests and finding it really excruciating to wait, I decided it was worth the peace of mind to feel like I was trying everything possible. It wasn’t hard to remember to wear the bracelet at night, was pretty comfortable and I enjoyed plugging it in the morning and having the data sent to my phone. After I got it, I had only wished that I bought it sooner because it takes a few months to become super accurate. I ended up using Ava for 3 months with my first.

I knew I wanted to get pregnant with #2 when my son turned one, so I started wearing it again when my son was 6 months. I had plenty of cycles of data so that it was predicting my fertile window very accurately for when we were ready to start trying again. Even though my Ava model is over 2 years old, it still works perfectly. Once I went off birth control, I was very fortunate to get pregnant after only a few months.

Ava is also helpful for tracking your "‘monthlies,’ as they say on Call The Midwife. I did have really awful endometriosis pain before I was pregnant so it would also be super helpful to track (to expect) when my most painful days would be.
