Fertility Monitors

Has anyone dropped the $200 for a fertility monitor? I read rave reviews online but was wondering if anyone had spent that much money and not been successful. Any stories, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have one and have used it for 2 cycles now. I like it because it really lets you see the cycle progress. The first month I used it, it was pretty shady. I got about 12 high days and no peak. The second month however it worked great. I am crap at interpreting OPKs and this reads it for you. Also since it uses FMU, you don't have to try to hold it for 4 hours (not possible for me).

At the end of the day it can't get you pregnant, it just tells you when to BD for the best chances.

A bonus of the machine for me is that it really got DH interested in what is happening in my cycle. He read up on everything to understand how it works and as a result became educated on the female cycle. Men and electronics...lol.

This is only my first cycle using it and I don't have a story, but I just wanted to say that I only paid $35 for mine on ebay and maybe you should look into that in order to save some $....it is a recession
