I am using it

OMG! I am so glad you posted this. I posted a similar question on the cycle buddies forum. I am currently visiting but that is when you start using it. I already LOVE THIS THING. I mean you can be a complete electronic dummie and figure it out and the customer service ROCKS! and no more pee on a stick until i get my BFP. It is the coolest and i am using it as of Saturday. I just know this is going to help us get . Hope this helps and if you want to talk more about it i would love to. maybe we could be watch buddies.

Post This is a long one but i hope it helps! hehe

UUUUUUUUUrrrrrrrggggggg. Girl i understand your frustration. Just make sure no one is standing infront of you when you throw it. lol. The difference is that the cbfm is detecting lh which is in your system alllllllllll the time.If i am correct the only difference between that and the opk from clear blue is that this is like an electronic diary of opks right? Well those things might work for some people i dont know but for me they are all over the chart . ( it could be cuz i am a little abnormal) j/k. Anyway, I understand about being confused on the watch thing. I studied it for like 4 months before actually purchasing it. If you are interested but dont want to spend the $$$ you can look at ebay. The company even says that it is ok to use it after some one else or to pass it to a friend. OK so it works like this,... there is this thing called a sensor (little plasic peace with gel in it and three cirlcles on top) that you snap on to the part of the watch that touches your wrist. Then you set it up, i.e..put in your cycle day 1 , 2, or 3...put in the time of day, put in the length or your cycle. I am telling you this part is so easy you will think you didnt do something but the directions are just that good. Then you push one of the buttons and say yes for "start a new cycle". Then you put it on while you sleep for at least 8 hours. The screen will show NF ( not fertile) the date and what cd you are on. while you are wearing it gel is released from one of the circles on the sensor and your body secreaction (little bit of sweat) mix with it..from there the data is collected by the other cirlce (a little metal thing that looks like one of those flat batteries). This occurs every 30 min while you sleep. the watch compiles all of the data it collected through the past 24 hours and stores it like a little computer. It is checking your level of Chloride ions ( four days afer you peak is when you become fertile). Then it will show fertile day 1 , 2, 3, 4 and ov day 1 then less fertile day 1. CAN YOU BELIVE FOUR DAYS IN ADVANCE. Because the most likely time to get is fertile day 3 and 4 you and sperm lives for up to 5 days you should bd all those days b/c it gives your guys time to get there unlike the lh test that only gives you the 12-24 hrs before you ov and it takes that long fro the guys to get there and then it is too late. there is not a prolonged this could be the day or maybe this. It is very staight forward and to the point saying "this and only this day is the day you are ovulating". NO more guessing and no more peeing!!! I dont know if you visited the web page but just incase. OV Watch | Ovulation Predictor, Fertility Monitor, Ovulation Kit, Trying to Get Pregnant. They give good info. I really feel like i almost havent even thought about it as testing for ov it has been that nice. My hubby likes it to because it is like he can just get up look at my watch and go to work knowing hes not going to miss our window that day, instead of being confused with the opk's. Hope that helped. I will let you know if it works this month for us but i heard alot of first month success stories so i hope that we can join them with a in a few weeks.

Well hello I am new here I just got mine , and I am trying it out, my boss's wife also purchased one , hers started telling her fertile day 1 yesterday, hopefully it will work , its really easy to use and since alot of people are stressed about ov predictors you can use this it keeps stress out and its not that expensive, I will keep you updated oh if you want to know I am using sooo many things right I can give you a big list but, I am not loosing hope, I have been trying for about 5 years on and off, and I am only 26yrs sooo its not too late I still have time and hope. Bless you and If you want to know everything I am taking let me know.
