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:

    So, like alot of the reviewers, I was skeptical initially, but wanted to give this a try. I promised that if this worked that I would write a review. I just got a positive pregnancy test.

    I am 38 years old and was on BCPs for years. I stopped taking them in November and my husband and I decided that we would wing it. I knew that my cycles were irregular so I really wasn't sure when I was ovulating. In January, I got this and decided that I would try. My fear was that maybe I was not ovulating. For the first 15 days, I was showing low fertility. Then on day 16, I got a high fertility, so I was pleased...until I kept getting a high fertility reading for 9 days. On day 25, I got a peak reading - so we tried to conceive that night. The next day we got another peak reading but we didn't try then. The following week, I felt some mild cramping (pin pricks) and decided to take a prenancy test - it was negative (too early). I know that your period should come 10-14 days after ovulation, but I was not feeling the tender breasts or sore underarms that I get pre-period -but I did have a dull bloating feeling. I told my husband that I just felt pregnant; but with the negative earlier preg test, I thought that I was being a hypochondriac. I took a test this morning and it turns out, we did conceive. Baby dust ladies...

        This product is designed to detect a surge when you are about to ovulate. I was still getting a low reading on day 15. I went to the doctor and was told i had already ovulated. i was very dissapointed.

            I said I would write a review if this product worked and well...The first time we are pregnant. While reading reviews before my purchase I wondered if some of the reviews were made up, after all, it seemed unlikely that most everyone gets pregnant on the first try! Here are the details: We used the monitor without trying to get pregnant for one month so that the monitor could get to know me before we actually tried. I ovulated way later than I thought so without the monitor I would have missed the egg completely. I charted and it even looked like day 14 or 15 when it was really day 17! We only had sex on the 1st peak day!!!! We also used Pre-seed which I recommend. I tested positive today, the day my period should have been here!!!!!!! If you want to get pregnant fast this monitor really is not that expensive think about how much pregnancy tests and ovulation kits can be over 4-6 months. A++++++++++++

            When I got the fertility monitor in the mail, I thought it looked complicated. So, I asked my husband to read the manual and when I was ready to test, it was really easy to use. So much for all the fuss!

              I have been using this for about 4 months religiously however I have not conceived yet. The results are quick and it is very easy to use. I have a very odd schedule (I think my problem is not being on the same schedule as my husband) and the monitor helps me keep on track. I will keep using it for several more months and see what happens. I am glad that it has worked for many other couples.

                  This is the first time I have ever written a review. I am only writing b/c this monitor really can predict my ovulation day. I was buying the cheaper sticks that did not need a monitor. Do NOT waste you $ and time on other cheaper methods. This monitor gives you an accurate time. I was ovulating way later than I thought, even though I have normal cycles. I should have bought this monitor a long time ago instead of wasting my time guessing when I ovulate. My biggest advice when using this is to do the dip test (sticking the stick in urine). Do not urinate directly on the test stick b/c it can cause a defect in your monitor, and the monitor will not function anymore. The monitor may be expensive, but it is way cheaper than going through fertility testings. Plus, it will save you time. Knowing when I actually ovulate is nothing compared to the $ that I spent on this monitor. Ladies, don't waste your time and go through heartaches each month. Stop guessing when you ovulate, just let this monitor predict it for you. Good luck to you all and lots of baby dust!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who do not get pregnant, please do not give up. Everybody that I know who has fertility problems, eventually gets pregnant with medical help.

                    My background, 2 years ago got pregnant on 2nd month of trying but had a miscarriage. Then tried again for 4 months without success, went back on pill for a year, then tried again, went 7 months without any luck. Bought this, got pregnant on first month using it.

                    Great product.

                        Well...I am totally amazed and swore that I would write a review of this product if if worked. I purchased this in July of 08 and found out in August that I was pregnant after using it for the first cycle. Turns out that I was ovulating on day 19 and had a longer cycle than expected. This is my third child (due in April) and I would recommend this to anyone having trouble with their cycles or figuring out when they are ovulating.
