Just wondering...This is my first month using the monitor. How many months have you used it and what are your feelings? I think it's going to make me get my hopes up even more b/c now we KNOW when to bd like mad. And, since I'm sure we timed it right, I'm positive I'm pg -- and it's only 3dpo!!

Hope this first month won't be a huge letdown!

Good luck to you --

Hi there! I've been using the monitor since Feb. It's been both good and bad. I had two cycles where I considered the monitor "messed up" - the first one, I got a "high" on cd 11 but on cd13, I had a kidney stone. It continued to say high and even went to peak, but no O until over a week after the monitor said I O'd. Grrr... The second time wasn't really a "mess up" but it went directly from low to peak. I was looking at the test sticks and I knew just from the intensity of the colors that I was going to O even those the monitor continued to say low. Both of these cycles came out of the same box of test sticks, so this month I started a new box and everything worked out fine.

I really like the fact that it's much more consistant than using OPK's, and I never feel like I'm going to "miss" something with my silly irregular cycles. Though, I really hoped that it wouldn't be taking this long because it is starting to get expensive!!! :P (We have some other factors so timing isn't the major reason why it's taking this long - don't be discouraged by how long we've be trying with no success...)

Good luck!!!

Hi! I've been using it for 2 cycles now and it is good to be able to know when your getting ready to O but I have had some problems with it. My first cycle I stayed a high fertility for days but no peak. Taking my temperature and monitoring other signs I knew I Oed on CD 16. This cycle I went right from low to peak. I called the hotline, they said that was prefectly normal and happens sometimes. I guess I like it becuase I don't have the judge the OPK, the machine does it for me. Just be careful not to use too much urine, I found it messed up the results.

Good luck this cycle!

(pg ment)

I may not be the one to listen to, but I used the monitor and even started it 1 day late on CD6 instead of CD5. I got pg that very first month! Typical though....I went out and spent a fortune on the thing and the refill of test sticks since I didn't realize 20 sticks came with the monitor and blammo! got pg the first cycle using it.

And now I say it was worth EVERY penny!!! I wouldn't have done anything differently!
