Newbie/Oldie :) Looking for Advice (warning loss mentioned)

Kimcarc21

Hello- Please be kind and have patience with me lol. Looking thru all of the boards I am overwhelmed. I have been out the TTC scene for awhile now. I had a traumatic pregnancy loss when I was younger and are now TTC again for about 5 months now. It has been 8 years and there is so much more information and technology out it seems. Tracking my cycles and my fertile days seems like a good place to start. I am looking for a fertility tracker / monitor, my periods have not been normal cycles for about 6 months now. They go from 28 days to now 42 days. I read something about Mira fertility tracker and the Ava bracelet? Any advice is appreciated.

Welcome.  I don’t know either of those.  I have read about Ava bracelet but not used it.

Hi there.  I just use a BBT (basal body thermometer) and an app on my phone (Fertility Friend) to track my cycles.  That, combined with OPKs, gives me an accurate time for ovulation.

Also, this board seems really slow lately...check out the Trying To Get Pregnant board if you're interested, it's way busier!

Thank you for the feedback ladies I am looking into OPKs, at first I had no idea what that stood for but I figured it out lol what OPK do you use?

I use Clearblue advanced.  I like them and they are easy to read

Thank you I am looking into those now actually. I was thinking the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, I think its the same thing really but it tells you when to test and you place the stick into the little machine and it charts it for you and saves 6 months worth of cycles in the data.
