Hi ladies!!

A girl I met told me she had a little trouble ttc and she used a saliva tester. I found one on drugstore.com but I was wondering if anyone here has used one. What has your experience been with it? Is it accurate??

Thanks!

I have used one for the past four months, at first to NOT get pregnant, then for the past two months to try to get pregnant. It seems to agree with my CM about ovulating, but since I am not sure at this point if I am pg or not, I can't tell if it is really accurate.

I'll have to see if anyone else posts...I'd love to know if it works!

Hi there,

I used one of those when I was trying to conceive my daughter 7 years ago and it worked, I got PG on the first try! Actually, because it said it predicts ovulation 24 to 48 hrs before it happens, I depended on it and BD'd only once because I really wanted a girl. I don't know if it's the same like yours, mine's called PG/53 and it works with both saliva and cervical fluid (CF). Can't remember which I tested back then, but now that I'm going for #3 I wasn't very succesful with CF - couldn't get an indication - but it did show Oing around the "appropriate" time with saliva. So, there it goes, don't know if I made it yet, I'll have to wait another 5 days and keep my fingers crossed! Pls let me know how you're doing. Hugs and lots of good vibes and prayers to you :)

I got mine from Target for $22. I don't like it at all. After using it for three cycles I stopped using it. I got ferning throughout the month.
