Ovacue Fertility Monitor by Fairhaven Health. This was my first program to manage in the contract medical equipment assembly world since coming from an industrial equipment background. When I told my wife she laughed and said “You have the no idea about a women’s fertility… Maybe a female project manager would have been a better choice. Good Luck with that”. I learned so much about women’s cycles and the need for such a great device. Where was this knowledge in 7th grade health class?
