Wrong calculation and bad battery life
even though I measure my bbt as one should do, the app says that my ovulation comes 2-3 days after false ovulation from ovulation test. the battery is only enough for 1 night, so you have to lie down and charge it every day and if you forget to charge it, it does not have time to fully charge in an hour.

Easy app to use
Easy app to use, easy band to wear at night. Used it consistently for about the first year and then more sporadically but always entered my cycles. I used LH strips and cervical mucus to "prove" the app and it was within 24 Hours of my most fertile time every single month. Got a positive pregnancy test this month!!

I don't think it's worth the $280
I don't think it's worth the $280; price point should be lowered as it still kind of feels like it's a pilot. It doesn't stay charged very long; the data is slow to download. Once it's there, I'm not seeing trends in the three months I tracked so don't really know what's normal. Can there be an overlay line of "averages?" My fitbit tracks similar information and stays charged a lot longer, and it wasn't event half the price.

Very clunky app
Very clunky app. Frustrating features - like if you switch to pregnancy mode it doesn’t remember start of cycle date and hides skin temperature. Also no grid lines on the graphs and no ability to zoom in on them, meaning pinpointing eg shifts in temperature is challenging relative to other more basic apps. This doesn’t require intelligent algorithms just a bit of basic housekeeping!!! Please please please invest a bit of time on basic UX for the app!

This bracelet gave me a better understanding of my fertile days and was able to get pregnant in 2 months
Don't Waste Your Money
I would advise no one make the mistake of purchasing the Ava bracelet whether it be via amazon or via their website. Save your money. It is a scam. The product stopped working after 3 days. It miscalculated my temperature during the 3 days it was working. It overestimated my actually body temperature. It fails to sync with the Ava phone app. It does not hold a full charge therefore it does not collect data overnight even after the bracelet was fully charged prior to use. They ask that you set aside time to charge it for 3-4 hours prior to bedtime but not charge it all day. I’m not sure who has the time to set aside to charge this product for a particular period prior to their bedtime. Unfortunately, after having charged the product before use followed by wearing it for the appropriate amount of time and then trying to sync it in the morning, my device still wasn’t collecting data for the 4 hours that we are instructed to wear it cause the battery didn’t even last beyond a few hours.
In addition, their customer service is not responsive in fixing their errors. See their response below to one of my concerns.
“When it comes to the syncing compliance- if issues has been reported on a particular day by a customer, we do not take this into consideration later in checking the requirements to claim the money back guarantee after one year period.”
With regards to their response above, it is unfair that despite my compliance with wearing the bracelet and trying to get it to sync without any data having been collected, my compliance would not be accounted for to satisfy their refund guarantee.

Helped me get pregnant
I used Ava for both of my last two pregnancies. It was fairly accurate at predicting my ovulation and giving me the best days to try to conceive

My experience with Ava (Not the greatest!)
Ava took a long time to even act like it wanted to get to know me.
It missed my ovulation each month and I used it for 6months.
Ava Literally ignored every piece of information I put into its app and did its own calculations from thin air and got it wrong each time this made me have to use other apps to get better data.
Great thing about Ava is that it took away the stress of temping each morning.
But had I have known that I would only be using Ava to read my bbt I would have just bought a cheap temp watch instead of spending £200+ .
Personally I wouldn’t recommend this BUT I guess Ava may work different for other people just not me.
Love it!
Would recommend Ava to everybody who wants to get pregnant fast. It tells you very accurately when your fertile days are. It helped us to get pregnant three times in a row.
Waste of Time, No Help from Company
My husband and I purchased the device with the 6 month guarantee, as we were excited to try this product and to start our journey. We have one child already, and the ovulation testing to conceive the first was the most annoying thing. I was hopeful this product would produce the same reliability as ovulation tests without having to remember to pee on a stick. When I received my device, I had issues with the syncing. I would wear it all night to wake up and it would not have recorded data. I contacted support and instead of getting real assistance, I was left to troubleshooting and figuring out a solution on my own. I had to set a daily alarm to plug the device in, because you can't leave it charge too long or too short. I had to make sure the lights were the right color before unplugging it, because it would not sync properly for the night unless plugged in. The little rubber/plastic holders for the strap broke off quickly, first one in the first month, second in month two. Every night I got to put this device on after fiddling for fifteen minutes or more, and then have this dangling rubber/plastic strap sticking out since the holders fell off. Note, I wear a smart watch 24/7 and the holder for the strap is intact after four years of wear. After six months I contacted the company and was told that they would not honor the 6 month guarantee because I did not sync enough during the specified time period. I wore it every night, except for one three night vacation that would not let me go through the perfect charging ritual I had discovered my device needed. I countered about my documented exchanges with support because of syncing issues with the device, I was close to the 90% requirement but I was being penalized for the unresolved syncing issues that continue to occur with the device. All while this is going on my husband and I got fertility tests done (both checked out, docs say timing is our only barrier) and I started peeing on the stupid ovulation sticks again. Remember, this was the whole reason for trying this device, to stop the peeing on a stick. Ovulation tests revealed that I was ovulating TWO DAYS AFTER Ava was detecting my fertility window as ENDED. They want me to wear this device for another month when I have already discovered it is a waste of my time and syncing issues continue. I therefore have no guarantee that at the end of this month that the syncing issues will continue to keep me below their magic 90%. Since I know now their fertility window is incorrect for me, and if I follow the ovulation tests to get pregnant will they count me as a success?
Helped track my ovulation
Helped track my ovulation. Used an period tracker for over a year. Within one month found out I was pregnant while using Ava. Ava bracelet told me I was ovulating 4 days before the other apps.
Pregnant With PCOS
I know it says it’s not for PCOS, but I have PCOS and when I used Clomid and estrogen, this was very accurate (verified twice with ultrasound). My OB will be recommending this product in the future.. and I’m 39 and pregnant. We are very happy!

This is my 3rd pregnancy using Ava
This is my 3rd pregnancy using Ava! Highly recommend! Takes all the worry and stress out of collecting the data.
