that point onwards, and if ovulation has already passed then it
will simply register that no ovulation was detected. The data
are still useful for future cycles.
Can I still use the personal Sensor if I have a yeast
infection, or have been diagnosed with a sexually
transmitted infection (STI)?
If you are undergoing treatment for a yeast infection or an STI,
you should not use the Sensor. If you suspect you have an
infection or condition, you should stop using the Sensor and
consult your doctor. Wait until all symptoms have cleared up
and treatment finished before starting to use Sensor again.
Is the Sensor likely to make me more prone to yeast
infections, cystitis or other infections?
The Sensor is designed to be placed comfortably in the vagina,
and used only overnight during sleep. It should be removed
before going to the toilet, or having sex, and washed before
being re-inserted. The Sensor has been designed specifically
for repeated insertion in the vagina, and is made of the
highest medical grade materials already used in a number of
other approved medical devices. In addition, the Sensor has
undergone extensive biocompatibility and toxicity testing
and passed all of these tests first time. It therefore should
cause no irritation, and nor should it increase the chances of
infection. However, you should observe the washing steps
before and after each use, and if you do notice any signs of
irritation or infection, you should stop using the Sensor and
consult your doctor.
