Hi there,
Has anyone else used this product? I bought one at the parent and child show after a couple of months of trying (I came off the pill 6 months ago, and am in my third month of trying), and I am getting no change in my results. In theory, this means that I am not ovulating. However, I am now at the point in my cycle where I should be ovulating, and am having other symptoms which I get every month such as cramping, sensitive boobs, and snivelly (yes, snivelly  ). Basically I am not sure whether to worry that I am still not ovulating, or that I am not using the microscope correctly!!
Have a great day everyone

I used it and loved it  Couldnt really rely on it as i have PCOS but it was cool to see the patterns u have to put a decent amount on and it takes awhile to dry i tend to do mine in the morning and then go to work and look when i get home. Make sure when you take ur sample its before you eat (ie as soon as u wake up), there are no airbubbles and that its from UNDER ur tounge
I hope that helps otherwise have a look at www.fertile-focus.com that gives you all the details good luck

Thanks so much for your reply. I know fretting is a bad idea (and completely counter productive to producing!), but couldn't help myself. I must admit that yesterday I did exactly what you suggested - took the sample as soon as I got up (as usual), but didn't check it until I got home and it definately looked like transitional ferning (which would be right for where I am in my cycle). Normally I check it after about 10-20 mins.
Thank you again (I'm sure my DH will appreciate the temporary respite from my panic attacks too ).
Have a great day!! |

| Oh, and I should add that I thought I had buggered up yesterday's result by leaving it all day. Maybe I had buggered up all the others reading them too early! |

You broke yours?  Woops
I will leave mine all day from now on and see what difference it makes with my readings (hopefully a big one!). Like I said earlier, yesterday when I left it all day I had definite transitional ferning and was really excited, and this morning I was disappointed again to see blobs. Thank you for restoring my hope! Who'd have thought this whole trying to get pregnant thing would be such a drama? And I've been trying so hard to be cool, calm and collected! 
P.S. Huge congratulations on your baby and wedding!
