Ive also ran across this.. but as they were using it for birth control I don't know if it applies as much. But its the same concept-- the ovulation day was supposedly wrong?

Hello there...
Just thought I'd share our experience. A couple of years ago we were using the Ovacue, as well as checking CM as birth control. We were using both the machine which tests the enzymes in the saliva to determine fertility levels, and the vaginal insertion tool to confirm that ovulation has occurred. My relationship with my (now husband) was young, and while I knew I wanted to be a mom relatively soon in the grand scheme of the things, we wanted to give our relationship a chance to be our primary focus for a while before conceiving.
My experience was that the machine was unreliable...and ultimately led to giving me false results which resulted in conceiving our beautiful daughter 8 months into our relationship. We used the Ovacue for 4 months and then one month it told me when I ovulated which was day 15, we waited until day 18 to make love, at which point the machine (as well as my CM) said my ovulation had completed, and we conceived her that night...The next day I had what seemed to be fertile mucus again....but the machine still said I was past ovulating.
It's hard to regret anything or even see it as a mistake, 18 months into this incredible journey of being her parents! And the truth is I was absolutely thrilled to discover I was pregnant....so perhaps my secret wish to be pregnant affected the machine's reliability. (The experience was definitely more ambivalent for DH, and actually has had long-terms effects on our sexual relationship, and his process of grief around conceiving before he felt ready, in spite of his profound love for our daughter.) Ultimately for us it all worked out great and we are a very happy family in love.
I do NOT however recommend relying on the Ovacue for fertility awareness.
I hope this helps!
By the way, I am still confused about birth control. There just doesn't seem to be a good choice without either risk or negative consequences!
Blessings,
Edit--
And this:
I bought an Ovacue in April. I used it for one cycle and it told me my optimal fertile day was day 14. I was doing artificial insemination at home, and we only inseminated one time on day 14. I am now 19 weeks pregnant. I am a true Ovacue believer after this experience. If I can help in any way let me know. The folks at Zetek are amazingly helpful over email and the phone so I wouldn't hesitate to contact them if you hvae any questions.
Good luck!
So maybe you could contact the company for help? Maybe it would be a good idea.
i guess we will never know if it was a chemical or not, and probably better that way. ugh. i feel for you mama. well, you will be moving on to your 2nd month with ovacue and i get to move on to my first on thursday, so we can do this together girl!
i'm originally from AR 
i love your hair too! FX'ed you get a 
soon. DH and I have been trying off and on for about a year as well.
