In the attempt of charting to find when I ovulate, as well as using temp and CM, what other method would you reccomend? Saliva or POAS - those things cost a bit dont they? Or I have heard of something like the clearblue digital being used...I assume this to be the pregnancy test, which also picks up LH.
Bit confused :redface:
Anyone do or done any methods other than BBT and CM?
Hi Salsa, I used Ovulation sticks. The digital ones are very expensive - POAS are pretty expensive in general. However I used some I got off Ebay for around $20 for 50...so plenty to test everyday! I actually fell pregnant on the first month I used them - although my chart was clear when I ovulated - I just wanted to feel like I was certain when I ovulated...to do whatever I could. I actually used the left over OP as pregnancy tests in the end and gave the rest to a friend. I knew if I spent the money on the ferning test I would fall pregnant.
Hope this helps - good luck TTC :pink-babydust:
Hi Salsa,
I was using POAS - OPK (cheapies from ebay) and the maybe baby lens. I got so confused with the lens and found it stressful. I worked out after a few tries that you have to wait quite awhile for the saliva to dry before seeing the result. My ferning was all over the shop. I stopped the lens after discussing it with the naturopath. She didn't really believe in it and it was causing me stress. I have read a book which highly recommends the lens. So I guess whatever works for the individual - but it didn't work from me.
Oh, after TTC for a few months I also began to notice ovulation pain build up a few days before O. So I noted that as well.
Good luck
