Has anyone ever used them? It looks like the most common one is the Clearblue Easy Monitor.
There's also the OvaCue and Ov Watch, but those don't have nearly as many reviews.

I like the idea of testing my FMU pee with the monitor, instead of the darn OPKs and having to save my pee in the afternoon (tiny bladder)! Especially since I want to be drinking a TON of liquids during the day to help my CM.

I'm thinking I am going to get one. I have Christmas money and I worked extra hours this past Friday so I'll be getting extra cash from that.

I was looking on ebay for them a while back. I am going to get one next cycle.

You aren't gonna need one cause you ar PG

I have only heard good things about them... well except that they are expensive

As I mentioned in another thread, I tried OPKs and for months got really confusing results (late O, positives for four to five days, etc). I bought a Clear Blue Easy fertility monitor on eBay (used) for about $70. You can also get the test sticks on eBay, which run around $30 for 30 sticks (a three-month supply for "normal" cycles). Off the shelf, the monitors run right around $200 and the 30-pack of sticks about $50, so eBay was the way to go for me.

As for my results? Well, after months of BFNs with the OPKs, I got a BFP the first month using the monitor. The FM and the OPKs showed a BIG discrepancy on when I O'ed. While I can't speak to the CBEFM's accuracy long-term, it did help me, and I will be using it again this cycle (first post m/c).

I read tons of positive reviews for ClearBlue Easy. OvaCue is supposedly the top-of-the-line FM, allegedly designed for/by doctors. (It was hailed as the "gold standard" in a fertility book I read.) However, you can't find them cheap - expect to pay around $350 for one. (Some places rent them, I've been told, but I've never found such a site.) The bonus? No sticks to buy. You use a vaginal or oral probe to test levels. (Some of us, however, enjoy playing bathroom chemist and POAS!)

Of course, YMMV.

Bobbie, hopefully both of us get pg THIS cycle and neither of us will need it!

I'm just afraid of saying "Oh I should wait and see if I'm pg before I order it", because then I won't have it for next cyle and then next cycle I might say the same thing and on and on! So I'm getting it! And if I don't use it, all the better. I'll sell it or else hang onto it for the next pregnancy.

I would spring for the Ovacue if it IS as good as it says it is. However, there just aren't many reviews of it online whereas for the Clearblue there are TONS of people saying that it was great and helped them get pregnant quickly.

Edited because: I didn't read your reply in post#4 completely so.....

I really hope the monitor works, and you're able to have lots of babies by using it!!!!
