Kindara Wink? Love it? Hate it?

I am the WORST at tracking my BBT. my thermometer takes forever, not to mention it's tiny & constantly falls between by bedside table & my bed. Has anyone had success using the Wink thermometer by Kindara? It seems like it would simplify the process, but does it really? I have PCOS & I'm having a difficult time figuring out if I'm ovulating or not. Should I bite the bullet & fork over the $$. Or if anyone has a promo code they want to send me, I'd be thrilled.  Thanks!

    I don't know if any of that is worth doing in my opinion. I have pcos and insulin resistance and none of that stuff worked for me. Then again I need stims to get pregnant so I was told by my doctor save the unnecessary stress because it could be inaccurate.

March 6th our little man was born. 

    6/17/13 - Ovidrel, Follistim, Prometrium ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP! March 17th our St. Pattys day baby arrived

    I have one and I love it!  It was great having it get the temp in just a couple seconds and that I didn’t have to pay attention to what it was because it would automatically sync to my phone!  That being said, we wound up having MFI so while temping with it helped my accurately track my cycles it didn’t help me get pregnant.

    Thanks for your input ladies! I'm really making the effort to track my temp to see if I'm even ovulating at all, but oh golly it's frustrating. I'm leaning toward spending the money. I'm hoping  it'll help take some of the stress out of the situation. If anyone has a referral code please let me know!
