Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor

Does anyone use this? If so, do you find it helpful in determining your day of ovulation? I was just wondering if it is worth buying.

Thanks!

I'm curious to see the responses since I just bought one yesterday

I think it seems worth buying as long as you have no sperm issues or blocked tubes. It can't help with those.

I have one & used it for 3 (I think?) cycles. I have very predictable cycles (O on CD 13 or 14, LP of 13 or 14 days) but DH has sperm issues which may be why we are on cycle 9. IMO it's really no better than OPKs which are a hell of a lot cheaper. But some women swear by it. As long as you have cycles that aren't uber long or short (I think they say 20-40 days is what is best) it could work for you.

Ive never tried one either but was also curious

I love mine. This is my second cycle using it and I feel like our timing is better.

I had an hsg and am all clear, as far as I know there are no sperm issues.

Where did you buy yours from?

That's what I am hoping for...Know we have better timing. I hate not knowing...lol

staycee · April 2009

at one point I came very close to buying one. But I looked at my charts up until then, and we'd had no problems with getting our timing right, so I thought I would save the money. Those sticks are expensive.

i used it, and it helped. i have unpredictable cycles (generally 35-52 days) and i found it extremely helpful. the window provided by regular OPK's was never large enough for me, so this was much better.

GL!

Since your cycles were unpredictable when did you begin using it?

It was definitely worth it for me. I got my BFP my first cycle using it along with charting

I got mine off Amazon.com, the also have them at Costco.com, and Walgreens sells them in the store (but they cost a lot more). Someone told me that Target did also, but mine here doesn't.

I am looking at Amazon now and it seems to have the best price.

Mr. & Mrs. Woodtick · April 2009

Yeah, that's why I got mine from there. I was going to start using one this cycle but the thought of paying $200 for it at Walgreens versus waiting to order it off Amazon was too much.

tct1219 · April 2009

this is the end of my 3rd cycle using it and it was the best $200 i've spent in a long time. it's so great knowing exactly what's going on and so far, it has been right on with my ovulation. i have a 30-31 day cycle but have ovulated between days 14-19 so far, so it's good that i have this to check or i may have missed it.

each time i got a peak, i confirmed it with an opk (i'm also charting) and i had never gotten an positive opk before i used it. apparently i was calculating my ovulation window incorrectly. i would also recommend stopping once you get a peak so you don't waste sticks.

good luck! and you may be able to buy a new one in the box on ebay for even less.

tct1219 · April 2009

ps i got mine from early-pregnancy-tests.com but i would just google search it and look at the cheapest one that comes with sticks. mine came with 30 sticks, samples of preseed, and lots of pregnancy test strips.

Sadie517 · April 2009

Thanks for all the help! I think I am going to order it.

I am charting temps and CM and also got the CBEFM to corroborate my charts. So far so good. I charted two cycles and then used the CBEFM this cycle (first TTC). It gave me a bunch of High readings and then two Peaks (first peak was on O day, second was the day after). So I am glad I was charting and not just using it, at least this cycle. It supposedly "learns" your cycle, so I will just keep on using it until I get a BFP.

FWIW, when I bought mine (in January) the best price I could find was $140 from Herbal Love Shop. I added two packs of sticks and the total was like $200.
