Did the Clearblue Fertility Monitor work for you if you’ve been TTC 1+ year?
We’ve been TTC for over a year, and after really expensive acupuncture treatments (that drained our savings!) I’ve been thinking of buying the Clearblue Fertility Monitor. I’ve tried the OPK strips, they’re as clear as mud, and my BBT isn’t reliable since my waking time differs every day. I’ve read lots of reviews that say “it worked on the 1st try!” but no one really says how long they’ve been TTC. So… if you have been TTC for over a year, did it work for you?
Thank you!
(Related note: my OBGYN is a jerk, and my insurance doesn’t cover infertility, so I’m on my own.)

1st…get a new Ob they work for you not the other way around! Take control I feel like none of my Dr.’s wanted to help until I got married which sucked but anyways…..this only tests to see if you produce the hormones needed to get pregnant. It does not give you a clear enough view and for $50 you have better options.
YES!!!!!!
So, I was TTC for 27 cycles. About 3 months before I got pregnant, I started using the CBEFM which my friend gave me. They called it the ‘Lucky fertility monitor’ because it had already got 2 women pregnant — now it’s 3 women
Anyway, you don’t have to buy it new; check eBay and then you simply have to reboot the system so that it loses all the other woman’s data (taking the batteries out won’t fix it!). Also, don’t skip on sticks to save money because that won’t help either. It’s a lot clearer than OPKs and is a good backup to BBT and CM charting. Also, your doctor will be able to use the data, so be sure to write it all down so you can take a chart to your doctor if you ever need to.
But it really sounds like you need a new OB. I changed mine about 3 months into my pregnancy because he wasn’t listening to me. You need someone on your side in this process. Give the CBEFM 3 months and then find a new OB. Good luck!
