Has anyone tried an ovulation scope to determine their fertility?

Question

I saw one at the store and was wondering how accurate and helpful they were.
It was fairly inexpensive and reusable...unlike the other methods of testing for fertility that I've seen.

Any input?

Answer 1

I haven't used one personally, but the reviews I have gotten from speaking on a trying to conceive forum, aren't too crash hot. The people who have tried them say that it is hard to determine the different patterns, especially when using it for the first month. However, if you would like to try it for yourself, I say go for it!

I'm also going to include some more ways to help you know whether or not you are ovulating.

Many women who have an irregular period aren't ovulating. There are a number of ways that you can determine if you are ovulating or not.

The first and easiest way is to get a blood test from your doctor.

You can also buy an at home ovulation predictor kit, although these aren't always 100% accurate.

You can also chart your body basal temperature. On the day of ovulation, and every day after that until the beginning of your next cycle, your temperature is one degree higher than normal. It is recommended that you take your temperature before you get out of bed in the morning, and at the same time as movement affects the reading.

You can also examine the position of your cervix. When you are ovulating, your cervix is low and soft like the inside of your cheek. At all other times, your cervix is high and hard like the tip of your nose.

When you are ovulating, you may feel slight twinges around your ovaries

When you are ovulating, you may notice a difference in your cervical mucus. It should be clear and sticky, and you may be able to spread as much as 5cm string between your thumb and your forefinger. Gross, I know! It needs to be sticky to draw the sperm.

I'm also going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I think you might find useful. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Answer 2

I bought one,they are anoying to use i switched to ovulation tests,if you want cheap and reusable try a basal body thermometer,you take your temp every day to track fertility.

Answer 3

I have, the one where you use your own saliva? And if it's a fern pattern you are ovulating. That thing was such a waste of money. I would stick to the basal thermometer or ovulation tests that you urinate on.

Answer 4

what ive heard i heard that clear blue was good its 99.9 accurate?
