Won't be buying the tests again

Bought a pack of tests from sainsburys. Used 2, both were negative, which was expected for the time. We then took another 1 the next day which had a faint line. Was not a vapour line, as was in time frame and was very distinguishable between a negative and this one. Due to it being very faint, we bought another test from a competitive brand and that was negative.
Tried again next day, including ovum and another one, all negative.
Read on other reviews, amazon, that it is quite common among these tests for people to get these faint lines and for them to actually be negative.
I won't be using them again, it was quite saddening to be disappointed after a slight glimmer of hope.

Reply from OVUM

Hi Roxette,

Thank you for trying our tests. The OVUM Early Detection Tests are amongst the most sensitive tests available in the U.K., with a 10 mIU/mL sensitivity. If you saw a line indicating the result was positive, no matter how faint, then hCG was detected in your urine, indicating a pregnancy. Our medical team advise notifying your GP that a positive test result was recorded, should this have been an early loss then it beneficial to have your GP aware of this so they can further support you on your journey to conceive.

We appreciate you tried other brands and obtained a negative. It is likely they were not as sensitive as our tests and, therefore, unable to detect hCG levels as early as the OVUM tests.

Unfortunately, we’ve had serious issues with our Amazon listing. The two negative reviews you see there are not genuine and can be traced back to a competitor. As a small brand, we’ve been doing our best to get them removed, but it’s not easy, and ultimately, we’ve had to remove the tests from sale on Amazon.

Please contact us directly at info@startwithovum.com if we can help further in any way and we wish you all the best on your journey to conceive and bring a baby home.

Take care,
Lucy

100% recommend

Ovum was recommended to me by a friend who knew of a number of IVF success stories linked to taking the supplement. Having started to research and compare Ovum with my regular preconception supplements, I was shocked at the inadequacy of my now old brand! This was also true when comparing my omega supplements to the recommended brand on Ovum's website. It makes me angry thinking of all the false marketing linked to female wellness but grateful to have found Ovum and the Bare Biology supplements.
I did experience heartburn initially but that was my fault in insisting on taking the 3 capsules together (rather than speeding them out initially as recommended). This however did subside after a week and, proved to me how ineffective my old Cq10 tablets must have been! Customer service when I had a problem accessing my account was excellent - personal, speedy with a genuine desire to help shining through. 100% recommended.

Ovum supplements

Ovum supplements came to me highly recommended by my fertility Doctor. I feel confident in the formula knowing it aligns with the latest research on egg quality. My overall experience taking these so far has been very good, the subscription was easy to set up, and the website and customer service has been super helpful and informative.

Great quality ingredients

Great quality ingredients, made for and by women! I believe this has help with my egg quality and quality of the embryos, just wish I started taking it a few months ago instead of a month an a half...all ingredients that are spoke about in "Starting with the egg" ❤️
Only downside is it gives you heartburn but nothing that eating a banana or something doesn't solve.
Couldn't recommend it enough ❤️

A wonderful company

A wonderful company, tests are easy to read and the company donates to fertility charities and also recycles the tests. Would definitely buy again.

Always really quick delivery!

Always really quick delivery which is great for someone disorganized like me who suddenly realises they're almost out of vitamins. Only been on them 3 months but very happy so far. Only 4* rather than 5* as the smell is pretty unpleasant! Getting used to it though and will continue on them as I feel confident in the doses and the product.

Very reliable and sensitive tests

After trying several pre conception supplements, my fertility nutritionist found ovum and said that it was the only one on the market that had everything in it that one needs when trying for a baby.

After suffering a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, after 5 months of rest, my husband and I started trying again. I used ovum tests for the first time because they were advertised as being very sensitive. I had my first faint positive at 5pm on day 6 DPO. They then grew darker over the following days. I am now 25 weeks. These tears are brilliant and extremely sensitive. They are head and shoulders better than first response and CB

Quality and Integrity

It is reassuring to see the quality of product and ethical integrity at OVUM. In a market that is saturated by claims and gimmicks, OVUM are a brand I trust and will continue to use! The information they provide and the lengths that they go to in ensuring best results is reassuring.

Strongest offering on the market today

This is my second month using Ovum. I purchased because the ingredient list and strength is the best on the market.

I moved from MyOva as I have some markers for PCOS and take myo-inositol, omega and magnesium separately. The customer service I've received so far has been excellent.

4* as despite being capsules and not tablets, the taste is still not great compared to other supplements I take.

I started taking these vitamins after…

I started taking these vitamins after miscarrying in November. We also cut out all alcohol & caffeine and my partner took Impryl. We took these vitamins for 2.5 months before we were ready to start trying again and were very pleased to find out that we fell pregnant on our 1st cycle! Highly recommend, I also found the company really helpful as they answered lots of questions I had and they were so friendly & professional.

Seem good so far…

I am in my second month of using ovum supplements prior to starting ivf. Nice to have all supplements in one place. Have seen research on dhea also being helpful, so not sure where ovum’s research stands on that for low egg quality but tablets are fine to swallow. No side effects other than smelly urine. Hoping these help!

Reply from OVUM

Thanks so much for the review, Rebecca. Great to see you’re up-to-date on the latest research on egg health! We created our supplement formulation to be market leading for efficacy and bioavailability. DHEA does have some excellent research behind it, however this is a prescription-only drug in the U.K so we recommend speaking with your Doctor should you like to take this alongside OVUM.

We have occasional reports of urine smelling like asparagus, to be precise! Essentially this means that you’re likely to already well topped up in Vitamin B6 and your body is simply excreting what it doesn’t require. You will definitely still be benefiting from OVUM and its many other nutrients shown to support egg health, it just so happens that you probably already had a good level of B6.
Best,
Team OVUM x

Pregnant 1st time at 41 with pcos!

Got pregnant first time with severe Pcos and at 41 with a high using these! Love that it’s female owned, a bcorp pending meaning it’s super sustainable and good value for money- much easier taking 1 tablet instead of the 8/9 I used to before! So happy with it and a great product does what it says it will do!

Great customer care

Really helpful customer care, responsive and prompt. An independent company who really go above and beyond for customers. My friend swears by the ovum supplements so I thought I would give them a try. Here’s hoping! 🤞🏼

Amazing supplements and tests

So good to have a high quality supplement.
I’ve been doing IVF for years and have been taking so many supplements separately but also struggling to find good quality metofolate, CoQ10 etc.
It’s really reassuring and so much easier to have everything I need in one, and know it’s not full of poor quality fillers.

I also love the tests and as someone who has done SO many that ended in tears, I was really moved by the message on it, and absolutely need that positive reminder as I often can feel defined by the result.
I can also confirm from testing early on my previous IVF cycle and using a range of tests that the Ovum tests are as accurate or more accurate than others (FR didn’t show up at all when Ovum did.) Unfortunately I lost the pregnancy. But I’ll only be using Ovum tests from now on.

Great Experience

I've had a great experience we Ovum products and their customer service. Everyone has been so helpful, and it truly feels like they care about my journey. Having 4 tests in one box is extremely helpful!

My Consultant at Kings Fertility…

My Consultant at Kings Fertility recommended Ovum to me, to take for 3 months in the lead up to my IVF to improve egg quality. I got a great egg collection and out of 9 embryos that made it day 5 - we had those PGT-A tested and 7 came back normal (one mosaic and one abnormal too). This is a great result for me and I'm really happy! I managed to mess up my order too and input a wrong address, and they went above and beyond to help fix this. I have bought their pregnancy tests used and hope to use them soon. Love everything about this company, as someone who's been trying to conceive for nearly 4 years now I finally feel like there's a company who understands and acknowledges what it's like.
