Successful after 3 months

I have used both time to conceive and then time to carry. I took time to conceive for 3 months and then we were lucky to conceive (3.5 years trying and 3 months post endo excision surgery).

Time to conceive - I am super pleased they contain everything I was originally taking separately especially ubiquinol and NAC. They have actually saved me money.

I am now taking time to carry. Supplements are easy to take, I just wish there wasn't 4 to take! So far so good, my nails and hair are super healthy as well! I appreciate how much they have researched the individual ingredients and can support through the whole pregnancy.

I use the subscription model which makes everything easier. They even let me return my unopened time to conceive when I became pregnant.

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, and for being so detailed. We're so glad you found us and that you've felt supported throughout.

We're really pleased the formulation has worked out well financially too. We made a deliberate decision to include nutrients like NAC and MicroActive® CoQ10 at meaningful doses so that you don't need to stack multiple supplements on top, so it's great to hear that's made a real difference.

On the four capsules, if you ever find it easier, they can be opened and the powder mixed into a smoothie or yoghurt. Many people find this a simpler way to take them, particularly during pregnancy.

Wishing you all of the best.

Switched my prenatal to Ovum before our second

Switched my prenatal to Ovum before our second sibling round of IVF and that round was successful. Not only was it successful but I also got double the amount of eggs collected! So chuffed and while I cannot say it was definitely the prenatal I’m very glad I switched! :)

Hi Nikki,

We're so glad to hear our product made a positive difference, thank you for sharing it.

And we love that you've been so balanced about it too, because that's exactly how we think about it. We can never say definitively what tips the scales, but we do know that supporting egg health with the right nutrients, at the right doses, gives your body the best possible foundation going into a cycle.

Wishing you all the very best for what comes next.

Easy to order but not effective

Easy to order, and take however I did have my worse IVF cycle outcomes with these. Don't know for sure if these had anything to do with it but I will be going back to another brand as I least had embryos on day 5 with that

Hi Latifa, thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing this, and we're sorry to hear your cycle didn't give you the outcomes you were hoping for.

We completely respect your decision to try a different approach. What we can say is that IVF outcomes are influenced by a great many factors, and our formulation is backed by 550+ studies and independently recommended by 38+ IVF clinics. We would never want anyone to feel unsupported on their journey.

We would genuinely welcome the chance to speak with you directly if you'd like to share more. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@startwithovum.com.

Wishing you the best in your journey.

OVUM genuinely care!

I got a box of these in a goody bag from my IVF clinic and I’ve been using them ever since. First Response are now banned from sale in the UK (they wouldn’t publish what sensitivity their test was…hmm) so these are the highest sensitivity you can get. I got negatives on FRER tests I had leftover from the US, but yet got a positive with these tests - that was 5 days before my period was due. Everything about the design and the instructions feels very caring, like they genuinely care about what I’m going through in this hell that is trying to bring a baby home. the guided meditation they include - I truly thought I’d never benefit from something like that but I really have.

A decision that supports my body, but also others

Very happy to have made the switch to Ovum after 12 months of trying. A company focussed on quality with a strong ethos (sustainability, ingredients, personal customer service etc). I'm only two months in, but this feels like the right move. Fingers crossed.

I fell pregnant after 2 months

I fell pregnant 2 months after using ovum. I suffer with PCOS and struggled to fall pregnant but this changed everything for the better.

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!

Really pleased

Great experience using the capsules for egg quality- super speedy delivery, and best thing, is the supplements dont taste like crap and cause you to gag! Interested to see if this helps having just had a chemical pregnancy

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.

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!

Consumer
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.

I ordered both the tests and the supplement a few months ago and am really impressed with the whole experience. My AMH levels have already increased. I've been TTC for over a year and this is the only supplement I have tried that has made a difference!

This is what the fertility industry needs

This is what the fertility industry needs! I wish I’d known about these tests years ago. The gentle mindset message and support options could have made all the difference when the results have been negative. I love the supportive sentiment of it, from women who know how it feels. It’s brilliant they are recyclable and from my experience they are 100% accurate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Recyclable - Multi-pack - Early Detection - Great value

I have just started my journey to conceive and so happy to discover these these early detection pregnancy tests now. For me, the Ovum brand stands out from other competitors in the market - fresh and forward thinking and a B-Corp!! Not only are these really good value (4 tests in a box!!) the tests won't end up on the landfill (recyclable!!). Looking at the attention to detail and thought in the packaging it is clear that those behind the product really do care about the end user. FDA and MHRA approved as well. Thank you for supporting with with this journey, will be recommending to all - maybe one day soon you'll be on the supermarket shelf as well!! Love your vibe

This is supposed to be a really good supplement, it has an impressive amount of ingredients. I am taking it for the second month though, and I am not sure it has any effect, apart from the strong stomach pain, even taking 1 pill each time with food. Hopefully it will change

I have been taking Ovum for just over 3 months and I had my eggs frozen (ready for IVF next month). 16 were retrieved with 14 of those being mature. I am sure these great results are down to taking the Ovum supplements religiosity.

pregnant in the first month

My original idea was to improve my PCOS symptoms and to improve my egg quality as I'm approaching the 30s. But seems like I'm actually pregnant only on the first month using this, and I could sense a change in urine smell too. I think these are amazing quality

Supplement Review

My fertility nutritionist (melanie brown) recommended these to me. i’ve been trying to conceive for last 5 months and trying to do what i can to improve my chances myself: so lifestyle changes such as diet, nutrition, exercise, supplements etc. i’m giving it everything and fingers crossed, all parts of the puzzle and I hope doing all within my power will help with some high quality eggs! sending all the best to anyone who’s ttc xx
