I used the Clear Blue Easy Fertility monitor and got pregnant the first month using it. I am 38 and we had been trying for a few months, using an ovulation predictor kit before (which never gave me a positive result). The monitor was so worth the money IMO.

I used it and got KU our 1st month trying, but I was also charting and having sex at least once a day from a week before I got the smiley face to several days after, so who knows what worked. FWIW, FF didn't say I O'd until several days after the smiley face.
I used a combination of the smiley face OPKs and the CBEFM (fertility monitor). I used the OPK as backup confirmation of pending ovulation depending on what my monitor told me.
I do highly recommend the smiley face OPKs. I needed something that eliminated guesswork that comes with the traditional OPKs. I was successful using them for all of my pregnancies.

I used them with all three of my pregnacies. With DD#1 we got pregnant the first month of trying, DD#2 it took 3 months and DC#3 the first month again.
The ovulation kits never worked for me for like years. I totally second the CBEFM as being well worth the money. I used it maybe twice and got PG on my own after serveral years of infertility.

Seems worth it to me!
