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 went to a Dr. that said I had a 1% chance of getting pregnant without "aggressive intervention". I bought the monitor to try for afew months before I was willing to do IUI or IVF. I feel that by using the monitor, some of the stress from what the Dr. told me has been lessened. It is only the first month that I have had the monitor, but it did show peak days and I will hope for a positive pregnancy test in a couple of weeks.

      Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

      I read the reviews before I bought this product and saw so many women saying that conceived the first month they used it. I had my doubts but I figured it was worth a shot and I also got pregnant the first month we used it. We had been trying to conceive for about 6 months and this worked right away for us. I am now 27 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and I am overjoyed. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to get pregnant, it is well worth the money!

        We purchased the fertility monitor at the end of the year with the hopes of conceiving in 2010. I used it in December just to "try it out" before we really started trying...and low and behold, I'm pregnant! I'm almost 40 and have never been pregnant, so I thought I would have a difficult time conceiving. What a relief! It is ABSOLUTELY worth the price because it works. Good luck.

          I purchased this product after trying for several months to use and interpret the other disposable sticks which are difficult to read as they leave it up to your interpretation. This monitor very accurately predicts ovulation dates as well as the peak times which fertility is the highest. Although I have not conceived yet, I have several friends/family members who have used this product with outstanding success. The lack of conception to this point is not the fault of the monitor. I would totally recommend this product to anyone.

            My first month of use i got 5 high days and 2 peak days! I was soo excited to see the little egg to confirm that I am fertile!!(Only been ttc for 2 months) I would tell anyone to get this its worth the money. FOR THOSE WHO DONT GET PEAK RESULTS...STOP BLAMING THE MONITOR!!!! Did you ever think maybe its YOU who is not ovulating? If you read about the monitor it is 99% effective I highly doubt its the monitor failing. Go see a doctor but stop blaming this product it should work great for users that ovulate properly!!!

              It took 2 months before it figured out my cycle, but after that, it worked great! If you're having a hard time conceiving or if you're anxious to get fast results, this product is great. My ovulation date was several days earlier than I thought and it took a lot of guess work out of it.

              5 months after purchasing this product, I am pregnant! I highly recommend it!!

                This product worked so well. A friend recommended the CBE monitor to us previously, and we decided to use it to help us conceive. We were successful the first month! It was very easy to see when I was ovulating and was in peak fertility. My husband and I were so happy when we got the results of the pregnancy test!! The product is wonderful :-)

                  This item is very easy to use and it worked for us!

                  I have long cycles which vary from about 31-38 days. It has been very difficult for us to get the timing right. We have been trying to conceive for over 2 years. We had previously been using the cheap internet ovulation sticks, but it was too difficult to get an accurate read on them.
                  This item, on the other hand, was so simple to use! There is no mistaking the results, unlike the internet cheapies.
                  We actually got pregnant our first month using the monitor. It gave us confidence, not to mention I had been ovulating later than I had been thinking all along.
                  Sadly, this pregnancy ended in a very early miscarriage, but we are eager to try again.
                  Even though we're sad about the loss, we are feeling relieved that we actually can conceive and are also relieved that we have our fertility monitor.
                  A word of advice, women who have textbook 28 day cycles would probably not need this device. Its best for women whose cycles vary a little bit month to month. Ovulation is a little harder for us to pinpoint.
                  Also, yes, the item and the test sticks are expensive, I suggest using your flexible spending account if you have one, it's the best way to go.
                  Good luck everyone!

                  I am still not sure about the expensive purchase. The test sticks are expensive and I have almost gone through 20 of them in one month. I have yet to get a peak reading, only high and my temps indicate post ovulation. I wonder about the sensitivity of it. Although it was great at predicting my estrogen surge, just not sure about LH. Still found myself using an opk.
