 I posted July 21 w/1st ever pos-after 16mos ttc--now I am pregnant again!!! August 21, 2008

I posted July 21 b/c I was thrilled to FINALLY have a pos preg. test after 16 mos of trying and never having a pos test in my life...but I also explained that I miscarried very early. This week I confirmed w/several diff brands of preg tests that I am in fact exactly 4 weeks pregnant again already--only 1 month since miscarriage! I am praying this time I will not m/c...but I wanted to share that Clearblue came through for me again (along w/preseed and mucinex per pharmacist friend advice--maybe that info will help someone). Its not recommended that you use Clearblue monitor like I did right after m/c, but since it was a chemcial pregnancy (meaning ended so early) I set it for the day I started to m/c and it worked great for me, miscarried july 21 and got peaks on Aug6 and Aug 7 on my monitor. Good Luck! Used Clearblue 2X = Positive Preg Test 2 times...I would have saved far more on doctor visits if I had invested in this 16 mos ago!
GREAT....WORTH THE MONEY August 18, 2008
This product is much better than the sticks. I was actually ovulating 3 days earlier. The great thing about this product is also that it measures your estrogen levels as well. Definately more accurate and takes the guess work out of getting pregnant.

I really wanted to be an advocate for the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. After reading all of the reviews on here, like many mom-to-be hopefuls, I was ecstatic to purchase something that can possibly take all of the guess work out of figuring out my ovulation dates, thus increasing my chances of getting pregnant right away. My hopes had slowly diminished after 4 months of faithfully using the monitor and running into a load of trouble. The first issue I had was with the "peak" reading. Considering that I followed the instructions to the letter, out of the 4 months I used this, I never once received a peak reading. At first I thought it might have been because I was off by a day, or that my urine wasn't concentrated enough. Nonetheless, the highest I ever got on the monitor was a "high" reading with never seeing that blessed egg. To this day, I still can't figure out why I couldn't get the "peak." My second issue with it is that its very difficult to catch your first morning urine. I know I'm not the only woman who sometimes has to pee in the middle of the night. Ruling out that I don't have an overactive bladder, I can't just stumble in the bathroom and take a quick pee. Some nights when I had to do the test, I would have to be fully awake, make sure I had the right position, make sure to have the stick positioned for EXACTLY 7 seconds, and make sure that the monitor was nearby. Furthermore, you had to pee during the window of 6 hours, which I know sounds like a pretty wide window. However, if you have to pee about 2 hours before your window opens, are you supposed to hold it in your sleep, or pee right there and then get a diluted pee later on in the morning (with you window open)? I know I'm not the only who had experienced this! My third issue was with their customer service. After the 3rd month, I had been so frustrated about not getting my peak that I wanted to know if I was doing something wrong. As most couples know, when you're trying to get pregnant, it can't happen fast enough! I called Customer Service to see what they had to say, and I spoke to someone who was completely clueless on how to use the monitor itself!! She kept asking me questions that were unrelated to my problems, and I finally realized that she was reading off of some script that prompted her to ask more questions based on my yes or no answers. I totally felt like I was talking to a computer! To make matters worse, she told me that she was opening up a "case" (whatever that means) and that she would be sending something in the mail to calculate my monitor's data so that I can send that back for them to investigate. I certainly received her materials in the mail within a week, and I again, I followed her directions to the letter, then mailed back my data with a note indicating for someone, anyone, to call me back and let me know their results. Needless to say, I did not receive a call back. After the 4th month of this machine completely disappointing me, I started to wonder if it was me health-wise and if I should see my doc about why I can't pinpoint my ovulation. I decided to not see my doc but to quit using the monitor, and by the 6th month (2 months after tossing the junk), look at that, I'm pregnant. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant and I'm definitely relieved that I know, now, that I'm fertile. I'm only bummed that I paid all that money for something that is completely a waste of time. I would not recommend this product.
This product is GREAT!!! July 23, 2008

In May of 2007 I decided to stop taking the Pill because I was sick to death of how they made me feel. My husband and I were newly married and were not ready to have a baby yet, so I started to chart my cycles to avoid pregnancy. Right from the start charting made me a stress case. My cycles seemed incredibly long and they didn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Fast forward to this year and I found out in Feb. that I was pregnant. We hadn't been trying but decided we were ready when we found out, but unfortunately I had a miscarriage. I had a battery of tests done to check my hormone levels, thyroid, etc. but there wasn't anything wrong. After waiting one cycle, we started trying again and I used the OPK test strips, charted, but we had no success. I went on-line and read hundreds and hundreds of reviews for the clearblue easy monitor and decided to bite the bullet and buy it. Since my cycles are longer than the average I wasn't sure how long it was going to take for the monitor to "get to know" my cycles. I had read plenty of reviews from women who had gotten pregnant on their first cycle using the monitor but I thought there was no way I'd be that lucky. I couldn't have been more wrong because that's excatly what happened. I got pregnant on that first cycle! I am now 5 weeks pregnant and have had 2 beta tests with great results. This monitor completely takes the guess work out of trying to pinpoint your most fertile days, just wait for the egg to appear on the monitor! I even accidently skipped testing one day and it still read my cycle with total accuracy. I still in my 20's and after getting off the Pill and having weird long cycles, I was seriously starting to think there was something wrong with me, but it turns out we just weren't timing things right. This monitor made things a lot less stressful! I highly recommend this product because it works!
My first positive pregnancy test ever 16mos ttc-1st month using Clearblue July 21, 2008

I've only used the monitor once and it was super easy to use. I had used opk's for over a yr, but they are hard to interpret, this monitor is clear blue easy just like it says, and it took a lot of stress off us. I got my first BFP ever in my life (I'm early 30s) after using this monitor in combo with preseed (as advised by some other reviewers). We'd been ttc for 16mos, so I took 8 tests-diff brands all being pos before I believed it. Unfortunately, I got u/s and blood tests this a.m. and the dr. confirmed a miscarriage (4wks2days). Yes, its disappointing, but strangely not as disappointing for me personally as getting my AF again, and it helped that it happened early..I actually have more hope now b/c at least I know something more about my situation for a change--and I don't want to just be pregnant, I want a healthy pregnancy...God knows what is best, not me. So as odd as it may sound, its comforting for "infertile" me to even just have a dr confirm that I had actually had a preg after soooo long! God has a plan for each of us and He blesses us all in different ways at different times. Good luck, I highly recommend this product, I can't wait to use mine again!
