Ravika went on a trip with her husband for her birthday. She wore a special ring that tells her about her health. The ring showed her body was tired, but she felt just fine. She looked online and found more women with the same story. These women found out they were going to have a baby because of their rings.
After a week, Ravika took a test and found out she was going to have a baby. She was a little nervous and kept looking at the ring's numbers. Even at night, she would wake up to see if anything changed. Many women now believe their rings can help them know if they are going to have a baby. The ring company says it's just a tool to help, not to test for babies.
