the Clear Blue Easy fertility monitor? I've decided that I don't like using OPK's because I think maybe I read them wrong. I need something to tell me when it's a positive. Have any of you used this yet?

I've used it. I loved it. Totally worth the money in my opinion. It predicted my O days dead-on, 100% accuracy, every month that I used it. I know Lynda is a big fan too, and she's pregnant now!!

I've never used one - but have been debating getting one - or the Ovacue. But I find that they're pretty pricey so I'm still on the fence.

I didn't really like mine.. but my cycles tend to be irregular... I think they're really only good if your cycles are pretty "normal".

I haven't used one... but I know that some people have really great success with them. If you do decide to go for one, check out ebay... you can probably find yourself a great deal!

I haven't ever used one, but was having the same problem with OPKs (although my body apparently hates them)... I started using digital OPKs-- no wondering about the lines! They are more expensive, but worth the peace of mind to me..

We will re-evaluate another IVF w/FET try in 2013.

i used one and loved it!!!! my cycles are pretty regular though. if you have long cycles, they can be a bit confusing. i got mine alot cheaper on ebay and you can get the sticks on there too much cheaper. G/L
my monitor NEVER failed me!!!

The price gets me. I may discuss it with DH.

Dh and I have decided to try it. Since going off of birth control last year my body has gone haywire. Before bc I was a regular 32 days. Now, my shortest cycle has been 33. I've noticed that my ovulatory cycles range from 33-35 days. I'm hoping that we'll have some success with this monitor.

As for the price, I just bought mine on Amazon. I sort of cringed when it came to the price, but we're pretty sure we would like more than one child and I'm sure I'll end up using it again when we decide to try for baby #2.

I'm seriously considering one too. While OPKs DO work for me, I always worry I'm going to miss my +. And I know the CBEFM will give you highs before it will give you peak, so that would be very helpful for me. I have 30 OPKs still though, and we aren't TTC this cycle so I'll probably use them this cycle and if they work perfectly fine I won't buy one...

I don't have luck with regular OPKs, I feel like I may not have luck with the monitor and wouldn't want to waste that much $$

I knwo there are many that had great luck with it though.
