**Tell us a little bit about yourself.**
Hello, my name is Emma and I am 35 years old. I love long walks with our family dog. We have been together for 6 years, married for 2 years. **What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?**
I brought a daughter into the relationship and we knew early that we wanted a baby together. Our daughter was also desperate to be a big sister. **Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?**
I first came across femSense on Facebook, I read up on it and decided to give it a go. We had tried ivf for one year, but I had had enough so we needed to find an alternative. Because of the hormone treatment my ovulation and menstrual cycle were all mixed up. femSense made it so easy for me. It was easy to understand and unlike other methods didn’t involve taking and charting my temperature myself. It was simple – stick on a patch, hold your mobile phone up to it in the morning, and that’s it! **How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?**
I only used 2 plasters and have a full packet of 3 left over. **Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?**
Because of the hormone injections from ivf I didn’t know my cycle at all any more. But, as you can see, it all worked out with femSense. **How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?**
Happy but also anxious because of the miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. **From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?**
Never stop hoping, one day you too will hold your happiness in your arms.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Leonie, I am 29 years of age and I live with my husband and our dog in a small village in Germany. My husband and I have been together for over 7 years and married for almost 4. We were trying to get pregnant for most of those 4 years. We are both family-oriented people and therefore dreamed about having our own little family.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
At the beginning we were very positive and didn’t really think about whether or not getting pregnant would be difficult. But, when we didn’t get pregnant within the first few months, we were concerned we might have a problem.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I had tried several other ovulation detection methods, ovulation tests (both cheap and expensive) and temperature measuring methods. I found out that my cycle is somewhat irregular. Last year I heard about femSense in a blog and figured it was worth a try.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I actually only used femSense for one cycle because I got pregnant first go. It was straightforward and easy to use even though I had actually expected it to be more complicated. I have eczema and was concerned I might get a rash but that wasn’t a problem either.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
Yes, because we had been trying for 4 years I knew about my cycle.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I did my first ever positive pregnancy test in 2018 but, unfortunately, we lost our baby in the 24th week due to a serious genetic defect. I was of course overjoyed this time too, but I was also terrified. At the beginning of the pregnancy I was afraid every day that something would go wrong or something would be wrong with my baby. I found out I was pregnant on the 23rd of December, so it was an early Christmas present.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
Don’t give up! Even if it doesn’t happen straight away. And most importantly – you are in this together, support each other. Try to find out what is causing the delay, whether using temperature tests or femSense, to see if your cycle is regular or, after some time, maybe consulting a doctor or fertility clinic.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
We always knew that we wanted two children and when we moved into our new home we knew the time was right for our second little miracle.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I am a very impatient person. We got pregnant first try with our first child, so I expected it to happen just as quickly with the second – it didn’t. I did a little internet research to find out how I could determine when I ovulate and came across femSense. I thought it was worth giving it a go and what can I say – it worked first try.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I have only used femSense once. The application was very easy and you don’t even feel the patch.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
I am actually fairly in tune with my body but when I came off the pill for the second time, everything was all mixed up. I wasn’t expecting that because the first time I stopped the pill my cycle remained the same. I tried ovulation tests but they were not what I was looking for, they were too inaccurate and difficult to interpret.

I was delighted. I did the test first thing in the morning and it was positive.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
I would definitely recommend femSense, especially if you are looking for a hormone and chemical free method.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am Claudia, I am 36 years old and I have been with my boyfriend for almost five years. I am sporty and like to be outside in the fresh air with my two dogs. Walks in the forest are the best form of relaxation for me! I am a bundle of energy and need to be constantly active to tire myself out.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
We were enthusiastic and positive. We never considered that it might not be easy. In the first year you don’t give it much thought if it’s taking longer than you expected but then the question start – What’s wrong? Why isn’t it happening for us?

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I have endometriosis and one fallopian tube which doesn’t work properly but, even after 4 unsuccessful rounds of ivf, I never gave up the hope that we would get pregnant naturally.

I used 3 patches but took one month off in between. The system is really simple and easy to use.

Indescribable! Overjoyed!

It is essential to know your cycle. Don’t let your wish to get pregnant take over because this has a negative impact on your chances of getting pregnant.
