I got two high days, two peak, and one high, just like regular. However, it asked me to pee on sticks about 5 days early. Next month it will supposedly just ask me a bit later, but they say you always go through at least 10 sticks or 20 sticks each time so I'll be curious to see what it does next month. I had a hard time using OPK's, so for me it was amazing to see it tell me exactly when I was ovulating. I hope it catches on to your cycle quickly and you have the same result. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264237 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 07:05:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 264237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WTG!!! I consider it winning seeing you are bidding against others. So awesome!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264233 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 06:57:15 +0000 JoJoGirl 264233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I can definitely send you info on how to reset it. It took me like 2 hours of reading the instructions to even figure out if it needed to be reset, so here's the bottom line - when you turn it on the first time, it should show ALL symbols on the screen for a second, then "--" and an m. That means it thinks it's new. If it shows a number at the top right (mine said "99"), it thinks it's mid-cycle. When you get it, let me know what it says and we'll go from there. </p> <p>I think what it means by learning your cycles is that it asks for sticks at different times depending on when you O. Like per charting and OPKs, I O around CD20. So it's going to ask me for my first stick on CD6 (tomorrow!)), but will probably learn that this is way too early and next month won't ask me for the first stick til probably CD11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264144 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 22:50:57 +0000 mrs. bird 264144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ambular1025: awesome! Thanks for the info! How long did it take to learn your cycles? Mine are super long &amp; irregular, so I'm not sure how effective it will be at learning my cycles, but I'll appreciate if it can tell me if I'm O'ing at all! Have you found any good deals on the refill sticks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264138 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 22:29:59 +0000 marionberry 264138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bird I just happened to be reading my Clearblue Easy Fertility monitor booklet today and while you can certainly use someone else's monitor, it warns you that it may then take a few months for it to get used to your system and predict correctly, so I'd definitely use it alongside traditional OPK's until they both come out the same. You start the monitor on your first period day, so restarting it is easy from a previous user. Great deal though! I paid $200 for mine, along with 2 boxes of sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264059 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 20:13:48 +0000 mrs. bird 264059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Yes we will!!! You'll need to teach me how to reset it once it gets here if the seller hasn't already :)</p> <p>@jholler25: I had no idea! That's awesome! Thanks for the tip :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264041 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:45:09 +0000 PrincessBaby 264041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: You may already know this, but you can use the same sticks for the monitor and the CBE digis with the smiley face.... I used to just buy the big box of the refill sticks for the monitor and then use them in both the monitor and the CBE digi:) Otherwise they try to make you think that when you're out of CBE digi sticks, you have to fork it out for a whole new kit..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264038 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:42:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 264038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!!!!! We'll be monitor buddies, hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264011 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:14:39 +0000 mrs. bird 264011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: it's a used monitor, but I'm ok with it, I couldn't have afforded to spend full price on it right now. I'm very thankful I was able to find one for so little :) hopefully I won't need it for too long &amp; I can pay it forward to someone else who needs one but can't afford the full price. </p> <p>@jholler25: I wasted a dig OPK today, just because I hadn't used one before &amp; was excited :D I'm like a puppy, I pee on things when I'm excited now, lol. I'm sure I will use them too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264008 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:09:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 264008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a great deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264006 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:03:27 +0000 Trailmix 264006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's an amazing price! I think I paid $190 for my monitor and 30 sticks so you def got yourself a bargain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264002 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:59:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 264002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yayyy congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-264001 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:59:04 +0000 PrincessBaby 264001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: yay! That's a great deal! And I still did opks along with my monitor, so you'll use them! I was super-ttc crazy:). But sometimes I'd get a smiley face opk the night before I got the peak on the monitor. So that made me pee on both types of sticks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winning#post-263992 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:55:13 +0000 mrs. bird 263992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love winning on eBay!!! I guess it's not really winning, since you're still paying for the item, but whatever, I WON!! And I liked it!! :)</p> <p>What did I win? A clearblue easy fertility monitor! yup, right after I shelled out a ton on other OPKs, hahaha. Oh well. I got the monitor, a new box of sticks for it and a bottle of whole foods prenatals shipped for $65.50!! I did kinda win ;) </p>
