Looking for honest opinions from users who have used Clearblue Fertility Monitor or Cassava ????
So we're preparing for next month if this month is another bfn, and I am considering purchasing the clearblue fertility monitor and cassava root + folic acid supplements to help with ovulation and general fertility and I'm looking for honest reviews from anyone who has used either, thank you for your time! :)

It's the Clearblue Fertility Monitor , it's like a small palm sized device that tracks all your results and such like the smaller one does.

I have the CBFM and loved it! I bought it later in my ttc phase so it didnt really help me as much as it wouldve earlier on when I was learning my cycles, but it definitely helped confirm iffy opk results and what was going on as far as cm was concerned. The only issue I had was becuz it tests once a day, if u surge say a cpl hrs after u initially tested, it wont alert u to a peak reading until the following morning. I also have very weak fmu so I chose to use smu and control the hold and fluid intake so everything was as accurate as possible. Another thing I did, I ebayed my test sticks and bought ones that were almost expired or just expired. They still work the same and are half the price...thats up to u tho, I noticed no diff in how they worked and did it for many months with temps and opks confirming the same results.

The clearblue advance digital has been rather unreliable for me. In the past 8 months it failed twice to detect the LH surge and also indicated peak fertility once when my bloodtests showed I was not even close to it. Since you are only supposed to test once a day, in the morning, it is easy to miss the LH surge. I will switch to a different OPK soon.

So glad to hear that about the CBFM!!! I was considering doing the same thing with the tests as they are so expensive ! lol , and when I used the ClearBlue Advanced Digital Ovulation I showed peak fertility on cycle day 7, then high fertility cycle days 8 & 9 then peak again at 10 and I figured maybe since my cycle was wacky it just wasn't working.
