Okay, let me spill the tea on this fertility monitor! As someone who tried EVERYTHING (OPKs, BBT tracking, you name it), this little device was the missing puzzle piece.
First things first - yes it's pricey AF. The monitor itself is an investment, and those test sticks? Girl, they're highway robbery ($80 at CVS?!). But here's why I'd buy it again: IT WORKED. After 3 cycles of using it alongside other methods (all my tracking aligned perfectly), we finally got our positive.
The touchscreen is super easy to use (when it works - more on that later). Love that it stores 6 cycles of data which was great for my OB appointments. Accuracy? Spot on - matched my ultrasounds and other tests.
BUT...major warning: choose your testing window CAREFULLY. Once you set those 6 hours, you're locked in. Missed my window by 30 minutes once and wanted to throw the whole thing out the window.
For contraception? Honey no. Unless you're made of money, stick to condoms. This baby is designed to GET you pregnant, not prevent it.
Final verdict: If you're serious about conceiving and willing to invest (both money and patience), this could be your golden ticket. Just be ready for some minor frustrations along the way!
