CLEAR BLUE EASY MONITOR

[nina2249]

All right girls ! I have been thinking about buying this Clear Blue Easy Monitor. The cost of this product is $189.00 and the Test trips are $49.99 for a box. I have checked Walmart,Target,Walgreens as they don't carry it around me. CVS is the only one or you can order on online and pay shipping. So girls what do you think? Help me make my decision !!!!

I haven't tried the FR opks, but may check them out. Your RE gave you some very good info, I'm going to try that method. ;o)  The five days before & 3 after sounds good. I had a Primary Doc tell me to BD fr. CD10 to CD19...Every Day! ;o) I just looked at him. (think of Crickets Chirping) ;o)  Have you tried the noon & 8pm check with other opk brands? I'm going to put some of the instructions you shared to test next cycle...if there is one...hopefully NOT.;o)

Well some of the votes are in. (lol) I use the FR opks and there dead on. And I always BD 5 days before I O and 3 days after I keep my DH busy . Sometimes I skip every other day. I use the touch, feel ,look opk stick method . I was told by my RE to test twice a day.12 pm (lunch) and before 8 PM Thats what I do. I had a early OPK on CD10 At noon the test line was almost the same color a little less. But When I tested at 8 pm the lines were dead on same bright color.

Looks like all votes are in. ;o) I still wanted to add mine. I like it because it gives the window when the rise takes place so that you have some idea of bd planning...however, like Kiki said...she got bfp on low bars.

The monitor has pretty much been accurate for me as far as I know. I did the back up test with the CBE digital & my Ov days were the same, but I only tested it one time. As a matter of fact, the CBE read + only one day, but the monitor 2days. I used it one time when it read HIGH & I ran out of sticks before the peak.

I am currently using it & have gotten a High Reading since CD8 (very new/early for me), but I'm going to go the distance to see when peak shows. I don't know if I'd recommend buying it. I'm so thankful to the person who sent it to me for free (met her on Medhelp), but the sticks are still so expensive. This will be my last box...I have enough for 1 more cycle after this one.

Here's A Shower Full of RSSBD Spray for ALL...

Thanks for the info. Wow something so expensive and yet not that reliable. I'm gonna stick with the POAS.. You guys are great what would I do without my Med help girls... (LOL)

The monitor is good. But, very expensive and you can only test one time each day at the same time. If your surge is earlier or later, you will miss it. Out of a yr using mine, it only worked about 1/2 the time. You can look in my pics and see the comparison photos of the monitor to the Answer brand ($20 for 20) opks and the CBE digis.  I usually use the cheap ones until I get a questionable pos then back it up with a smiley. There have been many cycles where I get a smiley and "low" on the monitor. Temps confirmed o.  Personally, I would save my money. I bought mine new off ebay for about $100 and bought my sticks there, too. I haven't used it in quite some time.

Yea I agree with kiki as well. When I told my DH that I was putting a survey on here to ask what other women preferred over another he laughed. And when I told him so far the outcome was the opk sticks, he was like cool they just saved me money we both laughed . Thanks for your input.
