  I don't have this but a good friend of mine swears by it! She got KU her first cycle trying and says it was the monitor that did it.  She had a really unusual ovulation though so, I don't know if it'd be as worth it if you're pretty normal and can see from charting and opk's when you ovulate already.

  Charting doesn't work well for me because I wake up so much at night.

  I have one and I love it!!  With my 3 pregnancies (2 ended in MC), I got pregnant within 2 cycles of using it.  For me, it's totally worth it.  I'll be pulling it out again after this cycle.

  I just started using it but like it so far.  Just be aware for your first cycle using it, it will give you high fertility days right away as it is adjusting to your hormone levels.  Once the monitor has been used for a few months it will become accustomed to your cycles. 

  I wake up often in the night and get up to pee at least once.  Because of that, temping is all over the place.  I plan to use the CBEFM and also use OPKs on high & peak fertility days.

  I just ordered one. From what I hear from most people they are very worth it. I thought it would be cheaper than me always buying the digi OPKs.

  I have it, but I have never used it.  If I didn't get pregnant with DS I was going to use it the following cycle.  If I do not get pregnant this cycle I'm considering using it next cycle.  Not only is the monitor expensive, but the test sticks are super expensive too.

  Mine just came in the mail today. I'm not sure how beneficial it will be for someone who already temps & uses OPKs, but I'm curious!
