Has anyone used the Clearblue Easy fertility monitor with any luck? After using OPK's for several months (which can be difficult to interpret the little line), I found this monitor on Amazon and decided to give it a try after reading great reviews. I'm on my first cycle of using it so we will see what happens........

I used it for a year+, but gave it up when we moved on to IUI. It worked well, but it takes a few months to get to know your cycles.
A few tips to save on sticks: It is also programmed to request tests in batches of 10, so if you do not get peak readings within 10 days, it will request another batch of ten. It is programmed to give you 2 peak readings, then 1 high, and finally low. Once you get the 1st peak reading, there is no additional need to test. Also, if you know the approximate window when you normally O, then you can adjust when to start testing. Mine always prompted me to start testing at cd6, but I would never ovulate until cd16 or later, so I would wait to start testing until cd10.

I was bothered by the fact that she completely ignored the PP who said they had been using it for awhile - even if she was just providing an "update" it was completely insensitive to those who had responded.
The day the Bump died - Jasper is wise
