Product Is Close To Perfection

This was the best thing I every purchased in my life. I am a rather impatient person and like to be in control of certain things in my life (yes, Type A personality). Anyhow, I was 34 when me and my husband started trying to conceive beginning in June 2009 during our 1st year wedding anniversary in the Caribbean. Anyhow, I thought I knew my body like clockwork and that I ovulated on the 14th day of my cycle. WRONG. We tried in June and July during the 5 days before and up to what I thought was when I was ovulating (even planned our anniversary trip around those days). When we did not get pregnant during those 2 months I started freaking out. He's 41 and I was 34 so I thought we were screwed. Then something told me to look into getting a fertility monitor so I purchased this one. I was so annoyed when I opened the box to see that I had to start between the 1st and 5th day of my cycle. By the time I purchased the darn thing I was already on day 7. Being the impatient person that I am (I could not wait until the next month to start using it --- sorry), I just pretended I was on day 5 of my cycle and started using the darn thing. I figured I'd know I was 2 days off and the monitor would catch up on the next go around if we did not succeed during the first time. During the first 16 days of my cycle (according to the monitor) I was at "low" fertility. I started freaking out since, like I stated previously, I thought day 14 was my peak. Then, I got 2 high fertility days on days 17 and 18, followed by 2 peak days on days 19 and 20, respectively. Hence, I ovulated on day 20, which blew my mind. That was also my 35 birthday, which was sort of funny. Me and my husband made sure to have intercourse on virtually all of the high and peak days (especially my birthday of course), although we did skip one day because we both were dead tired from a late night workout. Anyhow, my cycle was 28 days as usual and I did not get my period on the 28th day. So I took one of those First Response (early results) test the day after my period was due (DON'T buy this First Response test BTW, it sucks) and it gave me only one solid line a really faint second line - so faint I really did not notice until I tilted the stupid test but it was so faint I just threw it out and thought I was not pregnant and was really annoyed. I was really crampy so I was certain my period was just late and it was coming any day. But when my period still did not come almost 10 days later I took other tests and they confirmed I was pregnant!!! I am currently 6 weeks. Me and hubby are going our prenatal checkup in a couple of days to hopefully hear the heart beat and do genetic testing. Very very excited. This product worked like a charm. Worth EVERY penny! P.S. -- I'm still very crampy and very very bloated but it's worth it.

This product is fine and certainly helpful. I'm a mother to a one-year old and trying to conceive again. My hormones are still a bit out of whack, and so the CBFM is helpful in trying to pinpoint my new post-first baby cycle.

I conceived my first child without the use of fertility monitors or testing (I was lucky; just tried based on an ovulation calculator and cervical mucus and was pregnant on the third try).

I'm in my second month of using the monitor and I get the sense that the monitor is still trying to "figure out" my cycle. The first go, I had several highs, followed by two peaks (days 16 & 17), followed by a few lows. This month, I've had 13 highs, but based on "other" monitoring, I ovulated sometime around days 14 - 16.

It'll be interesting to see what month three generates . . . though I can't help but wonder if my tried-and-true cervical mucus charting works better for me. I also wonder if I have a hard-to-detect or short LH surge. Time will tell!

Overall - so far and for me - the product is interesting and hopefully more accurate as it collects more "data" so to speak. I envy the folks for whom it works like a charm!

One of the reasons I wrote this review was I was compelled to comment to a reviewer to boldly stated to another reviewer " Did you ever think maybe its YOU who is not ovulating?" Reviewer: Once someone decides to try to become pregnant, that person wants to become pregnant NOW. Waiting and wondering is not easy whether it's one month or 7 years. And understandably, people feel frustration (myself included) when any ounce of potential hope for information (e.g., the CBFM results) doesn't seem to work the way she hoped it would. Be kind to one another during this process. Focus on your independent experience and offer it here as something that might help others. It pains me to see someone/some people use this forum to attack or criticize others who have only expressed their individual experience and frustration.

Based on what I've read, it works for some folks and not so much for others. Maybe it's technical (user-error, the independent machine), maybe it's hormonal (low lh, not ovulating)! Who knows, right?!

Happy trying to all. Thank you for your reviews; they've helped me as I try to navigate the TTC-World again!

Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

I'm 39 (turning 40 in November) and I'm here to give hope to all you 'older' moms hoping to conceive. We had been trying for our second child for a few months when I started using the CBEFM. It worked on our third month! What's weird is I never even knew my ovulation fluctuated so much: between 24-29 days. We tried on peak and high days and sure enough, the third month was a charm. [...]Ladies, I'm not here saying this is a guaranteed 'get pregnant' product, but do the math. Hundreds of other expectant moms speak VOLUMES about how well this works! Even my sister-in-law who is an IVF nurse recommends this! Good luck to all of you.

    Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

    I was fearful that I would not conceive because I waited too long. My husband and I tried for 1 year without success. I bought this product and within 2 weeks I was pregnant. The monitor allows the woman to chart her own cycle and to know EXACTLY when the opportune moment is for conception. I think every couple trying for a baby should use this and save heartache and frustration. If they did, fertility clinics would have much less business. I have been recommending this product to friends, midwives and doctors.

    Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

    When i bought the monitor i read all the comments about how well it worked and how it only took some ladies 2 months with this monitor and then they were pregnant. Of course i am a skeptic but i said "what the heck?" and i purchased one and today i found out i was pregnant. The day the monitor said i was ovulation obviously was right on point and i recommend anyone to use this especially for people like me who have irregular cycles and dont know whats going on in their body. Good Luck to you all. =)

    Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

    Here goes...I have never written a review on-line for anything. I had a miscarrige about a year and three months ago.I have been trying ever since. Both hubby and myself had a few minor fertility issues.Also I'm 37 he's 39.I bought the monitor about 4 months ago after reading the rave reviews(and out of desperation!)I knew I was ovulating but wasn't as regular as I thought. After using the monitior for a few cycles I became much more in tune with my body.Anyway to get to the point, I tested positive today!!!!!!!!!. I am hoping that this is going to last and not end in miscarriage. So I can't say I have a baby as a result but it definitely helped me to get pregnant. I think I would have had reduced my "trying time" had I bought it earlier. I highly recommend this product.

      WOW is all I can say! This product is VERY much worth the money. It took us two months and FOUR times to get pregnant. Prior to the monitor, it was so hard to tell when I was ovulating, but as soon as we spent the money, it took us no time at all... Don't WAIT, but it today!!!

      My husband and I had only been trying a couple of months before we decided to purchase the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, mostly because I wanted to know the exact dates of my ovulation schedule. Well, our first month using the monitor proved to be successful and I am now five weeks pregnant - we were shocked - although, we shouldn't have been, given the other rave reviews! I will recommend this to my girlfriends and definitely use it in the future. Good Luck!

      This product is the best!!! I first purchased this product in 2000 when I was trying to conceive my first child and in the second month of trying I was successful, and I later gave birth to a healthy baby boy and since then I have had 3 more successful pregnancy's using this monitor. I recommend this to anyone trying to have a child being that I am POSITIVE you will have nothing but great results... Good Luck

      I can't say enough about this monitor. We were ttc for five months without it- when my cycles (normally 28 days exactly) were very inconsistent and long (32-35 days). FIRST month with the monitor, it showed me high on day 9 and peaking days 10-11. Thought this could NOT be right given recent long cycles (even did an opk on day 11 which showed neg- but here I am with a positive pg result on cd 24 (and we have not bd'd since day 11). Money well spent.
