Ovacue fertility Monitor

OvaCue Fertility Monitor

Thanks Richae for sharing your in-put on this product. Below is a bit more info. on the product.

The OvaCue is a product of Zetek Inc. You can read more about it at the Zetek corporate website. According to the company:

Using the OvaCue is simple. You simply put a spoon-sized sensor on your tongue for five seconds each morning and the OvaCue will automatically display and record your fertility for the day. The OvaCue tracks the readings in memory and indicates your most fertile period — automatically. Plus, you can download your readings to a PC for convenient tracking on a calendar.

Zetek’s Electrolyte Method has been proven to be 98% accurate at predicting and confirming ovulation in numerous studies, including those sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and published in peer-reviewed journal articles. (Note, confirmation of ovulation requires the optional vaginal sensor.)

The OvaCue requires no handling of urine or saliva to use. The OvaCue is very economical because it can be used for years and does not require additional purchases. The OvaCue comes complete with the base unit, sealed oral sensor, carrying case, owner’s manual, battery and a free pregnancy test.

Included at the corporate website is guidance on how to choose a fertility monitor, and an article titled "Compare fertility monitors for practicality and value."

According to the Beyond Fertility website:

Of all the fertility monitors out there, the ones made by Zetek are among the very best of the "high end" monitors in my opinion. These are a bit more pricey and are an investment in the future.

The Zetek monitors called Cue II and OvaCue cost from $198 to $383 depending on which model and accessories you choose. While the price seems a bit high at the beginning, when you realize that you’ll actually be saving money in the long run, you’ll see what a gem these monitors truly are.

...The price range of the Zetek monitors compare to that of the Clear Blue Easy (Clear Plan) however the price is the only similarity in my opinion. With the Clear Blue Easy you have to purchase test strips each month, which can cost up to an additional $50 per month. With the Zetek monitors the only thing you’ll ever have to purchase after the initial buy is a 9 volt battery. I’ve had my Cue II since 2001 and I’m still using the same 9 volt battery that came with the unit!

...Do these monitors really work? YES! My baby is living proof. The Cue II alerted to ovulation seven days prior, and I confirmed ovulation and conception happened. Eleven days later I had a positive pregnancy test!

Just an FYI on the ovacue. I used it while nursing and found it really did not work well for me at that time. While I had REALLY irregular periods--anywhere from 3-6 weeks between, just because I was nursing. So, I agree it is a great tool, but it works best when your cycle regular--at least within a couple of days.

I just had to comment on your comment, Michelle. The reason I got this monitor is because my periods are so irregular that sometimes my cycle is 45 days and other times its over 60! This is how it has always been. However, the ovacue has accurately predicted my ovulation 4 months in a row! I have confimed this by also charting and using LH surge predictor kits. Without the ovacue the other two methods mentions were not enough to pinpoint my most fertile days. Why am I not pregnant then, you ask? So the blame is not put on the monitor, I have several other health conditions working against me but now that I have the monitor, I don't have to worry about searching for the right day to procreate:) Now I just have to focus on the other issues at hand!

Retraction: Sorry I typed wrong, The ovacue has predicted my fertile days four cycles in a row not months. (which for me has been a little over 7 months)
