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:

My husband and I recently starting trying to conceive our first child. The first month we just kind of winged it (planning sex around time of ovulation. The second month I decided to try an OPK (Rite Aid), but I had a very hard time reading the lines to determine when my LH had surged. So, after getting my period that month, I decided to order the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. We got pregnant our first month using the monitor!!! I would highly recommend it to anyone. I'm now 5 weeks pregnant, and very thankful I made the investment. Good luck to all trying to conceive!!!

I just wanted to say this product is great! I am not pregnant yet, but went to the doctor to find out I have blockage and I have to have surgery, that's fine. I was still using my monitor, and it said that I was ovulating before I went for my ultrasound ,and the nurse was like "yes" you are ovulating, so with the exception of this problem, when my husband and I start back I should have no problem at all conceiving.

My husband and I conceived the very first month we used this monitor, after nearly six months of trying without it. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased with how this product worked. It is so easy to use, with the clear indication of the level of fertility. I'd recommend this to anyone trying to become pregnant.

Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

Wow!!!!! I am soooo happy to be able to contribute to the promotion of this wonderful product. Hubby and I have been TTC for 2 1/2 years. After a MC, 10 Clomid Cycles, a zillion OPK kits, injectables and 6 IUI's, we were on our way to IVF. We decided to switch doctors and start a new. We didn't want to go the route of IVF with this doc, we felt not all stones were left unturned. So with our new doc, we had a lap and ovarian drilling which regulated my cycles (I have PCOS). We then started trying. Our first month trying we used OPK'S and got a BFN :-(. The second month trying we were told to try the CLEAR BLUE FERTILITY Monitor. It took ONE time, just once!!!!! I still am in shock! WE got our BFP at 10 DPO!!!!! I would recomend it without hesitation!!!!! It helped make our BIGGEST dream come true!!!!

It took about 6 mos. of using this monitor to conceive my daughter. I just began using it again to conceive my second child. I would highly recommend this product. I tried using regular ovulation sticks, but with this I knew exactly when I was ovulating. This product is very easy to use, and seems more reliable than other products on the market. It is well worth the money.

Great product! My husband and I were trying to conceive our first child and using the fertility monitor made it crystal clear when my "fertile" days were, and when we should anticipate conception. Needless to say I got a positive today, so we are pregnant. Our first month of trying with the monitor. Totally worth the price.

I purchased this item since after coming off the pill because my cycles were so irregular that I never knew when I ovulated, and the regular ovulation test sticks didn't work. The monitor showed me that I don't ovulate until day 25! I only used it for one cycle and just confirmed with my doctor today that I am pregnant. It is definitely worth the money.

Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

This monitor was a **huge** help. I would definitely recommend it for those who have busy schedules and/or who aren't very knowledgeable about their cycles. I was also able to expense it under our healthcare flexible spending plan.(Note that I tried temperature taking last year but found it hard to discern the patterns you're supposed to see.) I used the monitor after I had a miscarriage. Following my miscarriage, it seemed that the length of my cycle has shortened slightly. However, I wasn't sure if that was due to recovery or not. My MD said it was ok to try again after one cycle; I would normally have self-predicted my more fertile days to be about 2-3 days later in the month, based on pre-miscarriage cycles -- but following the indications from the monitor, I appeared to ovulate sooner than normal, and I'm now pregnant again! My husband also travels a lot, so it was very, very helpful to have a firm indication of when we were likely to conceive.

Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

Another happy customer. I used it one cycle and just found out that I am pregnant. It was really helpful because it appears that I ovulated very early last month (Day 12) and, if I wasn't using the monitor, I probably would have missed my peak time.
