Clearblue advanced fertility monitor or cheap tests?

Question

I'm looking for any of you lovely ladies who have used the Clearblue Advanced Fertility monitor. Costco has it on sale for $45 off regular price and I'm currently using the easy@home cheap tests where it's sometimes a guessing game. I'm just wondering is it worth the extra $$ and does it make a difference and did you have a good experience? Any info or real reviews would help!! The sale is on until October 1st so I have until then to decide.

Answer

I'm two months in and the first month used cheapies and they suck. So confusing, not worth the trouble. I never felt like I got a dark enough line. 2nd month used clearblue advanced and its great. When I hit my peak day I also did one of the cheapies, and finally had a dark line, which was great to confirm, so depending on how long it takes to conceive, I feel like I could switch back to cheapies once I have my cycle down and now that I know what a positive looks like. But I feel like clearblue is worth the expense!

I used the clear blue advance digital ovulation test and I loved it! I was told my low fertility days, when I hit my high fertility days and then when I hit my peak day! First time using them and if I don’t get pregnant this month I will 💯 use them again. I don’t want it to be a guessing game and sit there and be like I think this is my day. I was literally told and that was soooo much less stress on me and my husband! Still 9 days away so I hope I get a least a faint line b4 I buy the new test at Costco cuz of the awesome deal you told me about lol

Answer

I read that the monitor is best for persons who have irregular cycles

Answer

I actually really prefer the cheapies, but maybe that's because they are what I used when I got pregnant with my daughter. I have trouble trusting the digital tests haha. I'm also not super concerned with the tests telling me a 100% positive since I also chart temps and cm, just want another data point to know that I'm getting close

Answer

I used the Clear Blue tests my first month TTC, but they were so expensive that I was hesitant to overuse them. 
I purchased the cheapies my 2nd month and used them 2-3x a day after my period. The 2nd month I did use the more expensive tests as well, just to be sure they were accurately reporting my ovulation day. 
They were totally accurate and I only used the cheapies this month.
For now, I'm happy with the cheapies from Amazon. Being able to test a few times a day at least gives me some (perceived) control over this crazy process! 😃

Answer

Thank you ladies for your input...I'm still a little torn, because I reread the instructions for the cheapies and who knew you have to let your urine warm up to room temp? I must have missed that cuz I sure haven't been...maybe that explains why it seems to take forever for the line to show up, both the test line and the other line..🤔...I know I'm technically supposed to be ovulating right now or soon based on my cm but the cheapies aren't showing me having a surge...will try tomorrow the right way and see if it makes a difference

Answer

U can use the cheapies at the start of the month and then switch over to the digital when they get darker. The digitals get expensive if ur cycles are long or irregular, but they take the guesswork out of it.

I use wondfo OPK and HPT. They do the same thing. You get 50 OPK, and 20 HPT. It cost $20 from amazon.
