Does anyone use the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor?

I use the Clear Blue Easy Digital Fertility Monitor and it is pretty spot on for when I ovulate. I was wondering if anyone else uses it and if so when do you BD and how many times do you do it? We were doing it when we saw high fertility and then waiting a day and then when we saw the egg we were doing it and then waiting a day and doing it once more. It has worked for us several times in the past but we have lost the babies. I was just wondering how everyone else plans out their BD in accrdance to what the monitor is showing It usually takes us 3 or 4 cycles to get a BFP.

I use one! I got pregnant in june after my first month using it...I BD starting when I got a high reading, up till I got another low reading, and I plan on doing it this time too....Good luck!!

You don't wait a day between so DH can build sperm up? We have low count issues so I guess that is why we do that.

Nope I never do every other day, but we don't have low count problems...We've always BD at least 3 days in a row.

We use it as well, the same as Megan. Everyday, but Ive had mine for at least 6 months and have had no luck so far.

I have it, but I like doing bbt better. This cycle my temp spiked but the monitor didn't give me 3 bars. I think human error issues. I used it 6 or 7 months in a row on the 3 bars days with no luck.

I use it, but I don't really believe in it. In August, I had low readings ALL MONTH LONG (even though I had a temp shift and a positive OPK), and I got my BFP that cycle. Makes no sense to me whatsoever. I've gotten highs and peaks before, and it coincides with my charting, but I always do OPKs as a backup bc my LH surge usually happens in the afternoon.

BTW, we BD every day from the time AF ends until a week after I O (just in case). We don't have any count issues that we are aware of, though.

I've been using it for some time now, no bfp. Most have success within their 1st year from what CBE says. Even six months.

CBEFM has a booklet that comes with it on how to time BD'ing... however I would every other day at least from CD10 on to get a good base.
