What does 'monitor' mean on FF

[Heaven]

I was just looking at FF where you enter your data and under ovulation tests there's a bit that says 'Monitor' and from the drop down menu you can choose low, high, or peak.
What does this mean?

[Heaven]

Nobody has any idea??

LOl, i am still trying to figure out how to know if my cervix is hard or soft , but i think it has something to do with its position.....?

MrsB helped me with FF!

No, I don't think it's about the cervix, I thought that at first but there's another part for that. Hmm...a mystery.

Hi,
It means Fertility Monitors... They're different from OPKs, as they measure the presence of both estrogen and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in your urine. Fertility monitors indicate fertility is “high” when estrogen levels are high, and “peak” when they detect a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). I know Clearblue make them, I don't think you can buy them in Australia stores, but usually available from their website or on ebay.

.......aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.

catrionalee... I never really focused too much on cervix texture, as it always seemed soft to me (I couldn't work out if it felt like my nose or my lip!) and my cervix always seemed open, but the position is pretty important, and not too hard to figure out (have you got the one down yet?).

yeah, i got the position down. thanks alisia!
i just wish i had 6 months worth of charting alrady up my sleeve and we could BD now!

[Indadhanu]

[Heaven]
