**Tell us a little bit about yourself.**
My husband (31) and I (25) have been a couple for 12 years and are married for just over 1 year. We enjoy going to the cinema and game nights. **What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?**
We always wanted children and, having moved into a suitable apartment after getting married, we knew the time was right for us. **Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?**
For the first two “practice cycles“ we used a urine ovulation test, but since I work shifts, it was difficult for me to stick to the necessary time schedule. Then I looked for alternatives and femSense was the most suitable solution for us. **How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?**
I got pregnant straight away, in the first cycle with femSense :)(our third in total). The application is really very easy. My husband always came home from work full of excitement and the first thing he did was read my patch. Unfortunately, my mobile phone was no longer compatible because it was too old. **Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?**
I was surprised that after more than 11 years on the pill, my cycle was regular (with very few variations of 1-3 days) immediately. The timing is important, of course there are always exceptions, but you want to get it right quickly. **How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?**
I was slightly stunned, but also instantly felt happy. I had thought that it would probably take me up to a year to get my hormones back on track because I had been taking the pill for so many years. **From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?**
Get to know your cycle and then make love as often as you want :).

Hello, I am 32 years old and married for 2 years. I have been with my husband since 2013. **What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?**
It had always been our wish to start a family and when worked, we were more than happy. **Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?**
We had tried for 1.5 years to get pregnant, and finally it happened. Sadly, that baby didn't want to stay with us and I didn't have the patience to wait any longer. I had seen the Barbara Meier advertisements and knew that she only does advertisements for products that she believes in, so I trusted her and after just one patch, it worked. **How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?**
It worked after only one patch. I couldn't believe it myself. The application was mega easy. At the beginning was I unsure whether I had stuck it on correctly, but when the readout worked I was no longer under so much pressure. **Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?**
I didn't know 100% about my cycle, but femSense made it easier and clearer for me.. **How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?**
I couldn't believe it worked after only one patch. We were happy but also nervous because of the earlier miscarriage. **From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?**
I recommend femSense to all my girlfriends because you don't have to watch and check all the time. I think when you have a clear head, it works better than when you have to take your temperature every day and write it down.

**Tell us a little bit about yourself.**
I am 30 years old and have been with my childhood sweetheart for 10 years. We have been married for 2 years. **What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?**
For me it was always clear that I would want to have a child one day. We don't know yet whether we will have more than one. But I definitely always wanted a baby and so did my husband. **Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?**
I used ovulation prediction tests for one cycle, I found them exhausting though because you have to test at the same time every day. Unfortunately, that was difficult with my job. The patch seemed like a great alternative. You can also have a cold or even a glass of wine and the temperature measurement results are not affected. **How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?**
We used femSense for three cycles until I got pregnant. However, it was only in the third cycle that we really focused on getting pregnant. The first two cycles were more like test runs. The application is really easy. I was sceptical at first about whether the patch would hold up in the shower etc., but it always stuck on really securely! You don't even notice it. You don't have to do any of the work and it measures your ovulation accurately. The Customer Support is also commendable! **Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?**
Yes, I knew through NFP (natural family planning) how to identify ovulation with the temperature method. But the patch makes it so much easier. **How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?**
Delighted, but I couldn't believe it straight away. I had to do three tests before I beleived it. Now I am just happy! **From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?**
Don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are looking for a simple method that is effective and reliable, femSense is the right choice. This kind of ovulation test helps takes the pressure off.

**Tell us a little bit about yourself.**
I am 39 years old, and have been with my husband for 8 years, married for 5. My life is ruled by our 3 children (4.5, 3 and 1.5 years old) and our 2 dogs. **What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?**
Before we had our first baby, I hadn’t even thought about ever being a mother. **Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?**
Because I had an irregular cycle after the 3rd pregnancy and wanted to know if I was still ovulating at all! **How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?**
I was pregnant after 3 months, using femSense was really simple and straightforward. **Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?**
It was important to me to get the timing right because we didn’t have many opportunities to try. **How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?**
I couldn’t believe it at first, now I am just grateful and happy, and I hope that everything will go well one last time and our family will then be complete. **From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?**
I would recommend femSense without hesitation - it gave me a safe and secure feeling that I was not missing the right time.

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.
Hello! I am Vivien and I’m 28 years old. My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for 1 year. We already have a two year old son and thanks to femSense we are now expecting our second little miracle.

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!

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
Never give up hope and don’t believe everything the doctors tell you. Several gynecologists recommended artificial insemination for us, they said we would never get pregnant naturally. And lo and behold, our 5% chance was enough.

When we decided to have a child together, the pressure was on whether we would even be fertile.

Try not to stress and timing is crucial.

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.
