  If someone gave me one I would use it. I'm not spending that kind of money on something that I can figure out on my own.

   

  
  
  I sort of feel the same way, at this moment I don't know how I feel about it. I've just started temping and charting. It's a neat idea though.

  Ovacue tests for saliva ferning. Many women don't get a good fern. It's a bit more expensive than I thought it would be. I personally wouldn't use it.

  There are saliva ferning kits that come with mini microscopes that you can use kind of like OPK's, and then enter the result into a free charting program like FF. I've posted a link to an example. I don't know how quality this one is. It just shows you that it's quite a bit cheaper.

  It's like comparing OPK's and the CBE fertility monitor. I do perfectly fine noting my FW with OPK's, so the monitor seems like a big waste of money to me.

  I don't see us putting that kind of money into it, but I also am only on cycle 4 and charting has already helped me understand so much.  Even by knowing when I O, there is still a small chance every month, so I'll keep my $250.

  Yah, I mean I can't imagine it does anything more then what temping and FF could do. I know it uses saliva and vaginal temp both; if you choose. 
  
  I just didn't know if anyone uses one.

  Looking at the reviews, people have good things to say.  I get kind of mixed feelings on the whole "we've been trying however long and got pregnant the first time using this" type of comments.  I understand different things may help, but that was like the $40-50 I spent on POM one cycle.  Yea it was good, but I'll continue with the basics for now.  Thanks for sharing though, it's crazy what all is out there to try!
