Have you ever used this?

Question

Clearblue Fertility Monitor. I was researching digital OPK tests and found this. It has mixed reviews 3.5/5 stars. I’m sure that I could just use digital OPKs but this peaked my interest. It’s like a glucose monitor style. You pee on the stick, insert it into the machine and it reads it for you. Tells you when your high or peak. Tells when to test again etc.

Answer

I jus started using this one this cycle! Currently 3DPO. From what I remember, the people that gave it bad reviews didn’t like that if you didn’t input your CD1 by CD4 at the latest you were not able to use it for that cycle. Also, it asks you to test with first morning urine and has you input a 6 hour window when you set up your cycle. If you don’t test within that window, it won’t take one (so I’m told- I didn’t miss a day) and you can only test once per day - which is hard for the addicts 😝lol. 
Here is what I like about it:
It tests for two hormones, estrogen and LH. Most opks only detect LH, so you only know during that surge and that gives you 12-36 hours to hit that window. Since this does estrogen too, it gets that hormone increase as well. 
I also like that it “remembers” you and your cycles. It’s very smart! As an example, this cycle, being my first, I wasn’t asked to test until CD9. So I’d look at the monitor and it would say not to bother until that day. Then When it was time to test it flashed. The first day I got a “low” reading. The next day I got a “high” , which means it detected more estrogen than the day before. Then I got Hugh for another 11 days 😜. This is good because it meant my estrogen was increasing, but felt sooooo long! Finally on my 13th day of testing I got my peak! That means I hit my LH surge and it was time to REALLY get it on lol. So next cycle I likely won’t have quite as many high readings since it learned my normal estrogen curve. 
I also liked that I didn’t have to stare at the lines in the normal opks and wonder if it was darker 😝. 
The only negative I have is the cost... it’s not cheap and you have to buy the special sticks too. You use at least 10 sticks per cycle. If you don’t ovulate within the first 10 sticks (like me) then it will have you do another 10. I paid $48 CDN for 30 sticks on amazon. 
If you have any more questions then let me know. I can’t say if it helped me get pregnant because I’m in my two week wait now, but my results with it definitely matched my temp chart this cycle and I feel that this is my first cycle of actually getting my fertile window. If I’m not pregnant it’s just statistics and not because of the monitor. 
Sorry for the novel! Haha

Answer

I have that. I used it when i was taking clomid. It works well and its easy to use. I unfortunately never got a peak reading, just highs. It takes a full cycle to become calibrated
