Warning - This Maching Actually Works Too Well

As an 'older' couple (mid-late 30's) my wife and I were worried that she wouldn't be able to get pregnant. We were hearing horror stories from friends who'd been trying unsuccessfully for a year or more.

A couple friends had used this monitor with amazing results, and though we hadn't started trying to get pregnant yet, I purchased this monitor in the hopes of improving our chances.
The plan was to use it one 'practice month' so that the machine could learn her cycle and she could get use to it, and then get serious the next month. Well, guess what? Using the machine she got pregnant that first 'practice' month.

It was truly a mixed blessing because I was looking forward to at least a month or two of hard work but instead my part was done before I ever really got started. In all seriousness though, the relief on my wife's face was well worth the expense of this little gadget. We were sold on this device and used it again, with similar results, to conceive our second child.

It accomplished its goal

Just like many of you, once I decided I wanted a baby I wanted instant gratification. Well, there is no magic pill, device or method to insure that this happens. I had been ttc #1 for a little over a year when I stumbled on this device.

You start testing when the maching tells you to, so you won't be testing everyday. This helps because it saves $$ on the sticks. You pee on the stick in the morning at the same time every morning. There is a 3 hour window that is allowed. So if you set your clock for 7am, but you really have to pee at 5:30, you pee at that time so the urine is concentrated. The 3 hour window can go either way- before 7am or after, just as long as its the first urine. The machine will give you either a low, high or peak (with a little egg next to the peak days) reading. The instructions advise you to baby dance on high and peak days.

On a side note.. I have also seen the stresses it puts on couples.. TONIGHT'S THE PEAK NIGHT ETC... Personally I think you should keep 'that' info to youself.. don't want to deal with performance anxiety!! I also found that just making sure during peak and HIGH that you are doing the 'baby dance' makes conceiving a higher possibility.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: These monitors CAN NOT be reset. So if you buy one off of ebay or borrow from a friend.. it will still think you are her..with her cycle time and all the other info it learned from her. SO do yourself a favor and go ahead and bit the bullet and get a new one after all this is a important time in your life and happiness.
