Fertility monitors..
Good morning!
How many of you have tried fertility monitor and have had success?
I have been doing the ovulation test kits (Answer brand I think it is) and it keeps giving me negative for past couple of months.
I have PCOS too and I am taking Fortamet (same as Metformin) to help me with ovulation..have been on it for a couple of weeks.
What brand of ovulation test kit do you use?
Thanks

I had success after being diagnosed with unexplained infertility yeas ago using Clear Bue Easy OPK. The OPK I use now is the Clear Blue Easy Digital test. With all other brands I was left with guessing if the test/reference line was dark enough to be considered a positive or was it too light. Clear Blue Easy digital OPK takes the guess work out and it gives you a smiley face if it's positive and just a Circle if it's negative. They're a little more expensive, but when you're TTC no amount of money is too high.

we tried using opk's for awhile with molly then after no luck switched to the monitor, i used opks until it was getting darker then i would use the monitor because the monitor sticks were so expensive we got pregnant with molly using the monitor i believe it was my second month. I really beleive that it does a better job predicting the "egg drop". Good Luck!!!

I got pregnant this time using a saliva fertility monitor. You lick it, let it dry and then examine through a little easy to focus lens. If you see "ferning" or anything that looks like straight lines, you get busy. It worked really quickly, too! The first month, I was fertile when DH was out of town so we missed the egg, and the second month, BAM. I will never buy OPKs again. I actually got a negative one the day my first child was conceived.
