Glad to hear. Hope it works for me too! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126699 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:13:42 +0000 chopsuey 126699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I BD'd every day while he was home. He travels 2-3 days a week. Just worked out that I O'd when he was home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126697 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:12:57 +0000 mrsjyw 126697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our BFP the first month I used a CBEFM! It might've been a coincidence but the monitor helped me pinpoint that I O'ed two days later than the previous two cycles when I had only used OPKs to test for O. </p> <p>I bought mine used off ebay for $115 which include 20 test sticks (used them all that cycle). </p> <p>We also BD'ed every day for 12 days with one day where skipped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126455 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:46:40 +0000 Mrs.VW 126455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor has us on a strict BD every other day plan. She said that that was plenty and that way you're sure to have a good swimmer # :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126365 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:10:33 +0000 Alivoo01 126365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the advice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126319 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:34:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 126319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Clear Blue fertility monitor for several reasons, including that I am older (36) and my window for trying before medical intervention was much smaller (and we had been trying for months), and because my cycles have always been short. It really helped!</p> <p>But I agree with @WinneBee, maybe start with digital ovulation tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126312 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:28:52 +0000 banana 126312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it every day and it worked like a charm for us! :) When I originally asked my OB about fertility monitoring, he said if my cycles are pretty regular, there's nothing that beats a good ole BD every day. :) GOod luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126294 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:13:15 +0000 winniebee 126294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could always go a step down and just use the clear blue easy digital ovulation tests! Some people say BD every day is the way to go, others say BD every other day. We did the every other day thing with ovulation tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bd-every-day-vs-clearblue-fertility-monitor#post-126291 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:10:19 +0000 Alivoo01 126291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby and I are officially TTC this month, and I've heard great reviews on the Clearblue Fertility digital monitor. However, it's a lil pricey. If we BD every day, you think that should cover our basis, or should I invest in the monitor as well? </p>
