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!

    My husband and I tried for years to have a child. I decided to purchase this monitor and we conceived the first month I used it!!! I found out I ovulate very late..instead of day 14 it was day 21!! We now have a very healthy 6 month old son. I will use again...when we decide to try for another child!

      Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

      This is an excellent product that I would recommend to anyone trying to conceive. My husband and I conceived the second month of using this monitor. I was surprised by the days the monitor told me I had peak fertility, as it was actually sooner than I would have guessed -- it was before the traditional 14 day mark. But, obviously, it was correct. I now have a beautiful, healthy daughter who is almost six months old -- sometimes I wonder if she would exist if it weren't for this monitor. I plan to use the monitor and test sticks again when we try for our second child.

        Comments about Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, 1 ea:

        We had been trying to conceive for over a year. We conceived after our second month of using this fertility monitor. To make a long story short I actually ovulate a week later than I thought! So, all this time we have been missing our opportunity by trying on the wrong days! This has been a blessing to us. This is a MUST buy.

        For those of you who are skeptical...first of all, if this monitor does not detect ovulation...either you didnt ovulate or you may have used it incorrectly. I dont understand why people blame the monitor if if doesnt detect ovulation. It is not the monitor's fault if you dont ovulate...it could very well mean that you have some sort of hormone imbalance or some other condition. If you strongly feel it is the monitor, complain and get a new one.

        Also, for the person who was skeptcial about all of the reviews that started with "I swore I would write a review if it worked" - well, I dont know about anyone else but I NEVER EVER write reviews but since it worked so well for us, I decided to write a review to help others. I am pregnant and happy and probably wouldnt be right now without this monitor.

          We had tried for over 6 months to get pregnant, and the heartbreak kept returning every time I got my period - anyone who has cried on their bathroom floor knows what I mean. We were continually using fertility test strips, and tracking ovulation, but nothing was working. This product was recommended to me on a chat board on[*], and I bought it even though it was really expensive. We used it for my next cycle, and I finally missed my period! I tested the day my period was missed, and finally got that wonderful + sign on the test. We are now 8 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins, thanks to the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. We plan to use it in the future when we are ready for our next child. I really do recommend this product to anyone looking for something that actually works.

            I usually don't write reviews, but wanted to share my successes! This monitor was extremely easy to use. I was on bcp for 12 years and starting using the monitor the first month after a cycle off of bcps. I got high fertility days for 14 days, but no peak days. I read in earlier reviews that this could happen, so I didn't worry about it. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests, and all 3 were positive! I highly recommend the monitor, especially if you have long cycles like me (40 days). Good Luck.

              I went off the pill in late December in the hopes of getting pregant in February/March. I used the Monitor in January and February and I got pregnant during my February cycle. I was really pleased with monitor, it told me exactly when I was approaching high fertility and peak fertility. This is our first baby and it is due in November!!

                Bought this product to get a feel for when I was ovulating. Tried OPK before and had trouble either finding LH surge or reading the results at all. Anyway bought Clear Blue monitor February 09 and am now shockingly 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. I read other reviews about first time success, but never thought it could happen to myself having PCOS. Don't waste your time with disposable ovulation kits, I used my FSA to purchase CBEFM.

                    I have been using this monitor for quite some time, and it really is accurate and easy-to-use. However, like one of the reviewers previously menitoned, I don't think you can pee on the stick and put it in the machine. My machine is now broken, so I have to buy another one.

                      I promised myself that I would write a review for the CBEFM if it worked for me and it did! My husband just found out I am pregnant. It's very early on (4 weeks or so) but I wanted to give others hope! I was hoping it would work considering how expensive it is! So worth it. It took us 2 months of using it to get pregnant! Good luck!
