Dr Stuart Lavery, a consultant in reproductive medicine at University College Hospital London, said: “People are using this technology to try to get more awareness and pick things up as soon as possible because if you’re planning to get pregnant it can have a huge impact on your life.”
However, he warned, “we may run before we can walk.”
“We probably need a lot more data on the reliability, a lot more research… otherwise what happens is your anxiety level just goes up,” he said.
“I have no doubt that many people will use technology, an app-based approach or a wearable to try and pick these things up. But I think it should come with a big health warning about how much we can rely on them for accuracy.”
When asked about the anxiety women say they feel early in their pregnancy about checking ring information, Dr Chris Currie, clinical director of Ura’s women’s health, told the BBC: “Pregnancy, with or without biometric monitoring, can be a time of uncertainty for many women, especially first-time pregnant women, where they are in the dark about what is normal.”
If women feel overwhelmed, the company “encourages members to take a break from the app experience, but AuraRing continues to gather data and insights,” she added, adding, “The Ring is a support tool, not a replacement for your care team.”
Ravika unfortunately miscarries. She’s hoping to start trying to conceive again soon — and when she does, her experience has made her rethink wearing tracksuits.
“I don’t see myself as a depressed person, but… if it gets to the point where I know I’m pregnant and the stats are low, like there’s that positive pregnancy test, I think taking the ring off is the best thing for me.”
