Has anyone tried this, and if so, do any of your REs recommend it as a reliable test? I'm using it and I love it, it works great and totally beats POAS!!! I forgot to ask my RE and just wanted to get some opinions. If it's not recommended, I'll go back to POAS
It's fascinating and it really works!! But for the sake of being compliant with Dr's orders, I think I'll still POAS, just won't start until I get confirmation that I'm about to ovulate from the saliva test. At the very least it will save a ton of money on sticks!!!
Ive done both saliva ferning and cf ferning. I like to use it along with opk's. OPK's give you an idea of when you are starting to surge. Saliva and cf will confirm peak fertility.
Man this would be awesome to use if they work!! This may be a silly question, I'm a newbie to IVF and am about to start my first round - do drs generally have you do OPKs throughout IVF to monitor ovulation as you stim?

@loverin No... usually you don't need to as you will be having bw and ultrasounds throughout stimming and you will be triggering ovulation with a hormone shot instead of ovulating naturally. But often you have to monitor your ovulation the month before you begin your stim cycle
@dragonette505 that's what I thought but just wanted to be sure I didn't need to order any. I've been on bcp leading up to so I'm guessing that's why they didn't have me do that!
