Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor

Dear Autumn

Thank you so much for telling me this. I will go get the Clearblue OPKs first as I guess I couldn't find the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor within a short period of time. I have been trying to conceive for 2 years, I do think I need some OPKs on top of the basal temperature measuring. By the way, may I ask if it's better to have sex once per two days during the ovulating period?

Do feel happy for your pregnancy. So far is it tough, any morning sickness? I hope things are all alright to all mommies to be. Take care.
 
Hi Colourprinter.

The packaging in HK is different from the one show in the website. But packaging aside, I used something like the one in the first link ('non-digital' where you just 'pee-on-a-stick' and wait for the results to show in the panel).

This website gave me some direction at the start. Perhaps you'd like to have a browse or just do a simple Google search on OPKs.

Hi Colourprinter.

Sorry, I didn't read your earlier message.

I guess it's up to you how many times you 'baby dance' during your ovulating period. Some recommend every other day if you're not sure just to cover your bases.

As for morning sickness, I've been really blessed. I've had no morning sickness or nausea.

Try the OPKs. It's worth a shot. :gl:

Cheers.
Autumn
 
The ones that are referenced above are the ones I was referring to. They cost about HK$266 at Fanda, Mannings and Watsons.
 
Dear Autumn

It's really so kind of you! I would rush to Watson/Mannings to get the OPKs that you mentioned. I am in need of some "technical assistance" here and now.

Do wish the current very nice blessings stay with you until your baby comes.
 
Well I have had no luck with the testing - tested for 6 days (bought 2 kits) and as yet no LH surge. Should I go get the ovulation blood test at the doctor's or give this some more time. My cycle is 28-30 days and started testing at day 11, and now we are 16 with no result. :(

I am seriously stressing about this, and my doctor is fairly unhelpful. "If you want to get the blood test, do it. If not, then don't do it." - not much help there, eh? :(
 
Hi Colourprinter and Jaetee.

I had two natural cycles after stopping the pill, ranging from 30 to 35 days. On the safe side, I used OPKs starting from around day 11 until I got a positive LH surge on day 19. I started on day 11 because one of the biggest textbook myths is that you ovulate on day 14 (if only we all did!). As it turned out I ovulated on day 19 so it can happen later for some folks.

Jaetee, I know it's frustrating to constantly "pee" on that stick and see no positive result, but perhaps testing for longer might help. I felt like I had to wear different disguises each time I went to Watsons to replenish my OPKs, but just to satisfy my own curiosity I kept using them. I also charted at the same time so I was lucky enough to see a corresponding increase in my basal body temperature.

I'm not sure how fast the turnaround time is for blood tests which test ovulation in HK. I know in Australia if you take a test in the morning they can sometimes have the result by the afternoon. If it's not immediate, but you get a positive result, at least this might de-mystify when you ovulate. Hope this helps!

Best wishes. Autumn.
 
I did read a lot of other online forums talking about the ovulation days, surprisingly, a lot of women said that they ovulated on Day 19 and 20 rather than 14 or 15. They would not know that if they didn't use OPK. Jaetee, perhaps your ovluation day is a bit later too. Keep trying and you shall have the good result :)
