Duo Fertility Monitor

[J to the c]

I am using temperatures taken by DuoFertility. Each morning I connect my sensor and put in the same temperature in Fertility Friend. Their software gives you a lot of details and you can compare your charts with other ladies. Also it confirms ovulation a lot earlier than DF.

Hi kitsia

A good way to tell who's reliable is to look at your luteal phase length. Everyone's is different but your own doesn't change from month to month even if you have irregular length cycles. I don't know about my temps changing on df because I tend to look more at the pattern and not at individual temps. But I do know that even though my cycle varies from 27 to 31 days, my luteal phase is always 11. I'm counting day after ovulation as 1 and up to day before period. So when df has calculated my ovulation for the last 3 months and then I've gone on to have my period it's always been 11 days later. That's why I'm considering it reliable?

Hope that helps x

Thanks J to the C,

I thought LP length should be about the same every cycle. Last month it was 16 days and I usually have 27/28 day cycle. I guess I have to wait till AF arrives to se what's this month ( I am only using DF for the second cycle). I have emailed DF support about my concerns. I'll see what they say

How do you get to do a trial? How long have you been doing it for?

Hello Ladies, I tested today and BFN, I also have a headache which is a good sign AF is on it's way, but I called to check on my HSG results from 7 weeks ago and they are on their way so FS is getting closer at last. Every cloud has a silver lining

 

[cazi77]

I have been looking into getting one of these - the claims they make are great and there are some success stories out there. My only hesitation is that I can get pregnant (have been pregnant 3 x's in a year) but since my m/c at the beginning of september I haven't got a peak on my CBFM but have on other opks. Thought this machine would take away the stress.

Once you have purchased it are there other things you need to by each month or for £500 is that it?

Good luck to all of you xxx

Really sorry to hear that mrs howley. What's hsg fs? I hope you get your bfp soon. X

 

[MrsHowley81]

HSG is hystersalpinogram an x-ray to see your uterus and fallopian tubes, fs is Fertility specialist

So have your temps dropped back down?

Good evening Ladies,

Here is a little update on confusion with my anovulatory/ovulatory cycle

After I emailed support team they reviewed my chart and moved ovulation date from CD14 to CD11. They say it happened because I was ill after ovulation (I had migraine) and system assumed that increase in temperature was a noise and got confused

I am also doing a trial for DF. I have never used First Response before but really looking forward to it !!

What do you mean by a trial for df kitsia?

I got an email from DF support asking if I'd like to participate in trial with first response OPK's. I said yes. You have to test around your fertile days and put in results on DF system. It will be going on until February 2012 I think. I am used to smiley faces on clearblue OPK's so not sure if its as easy with First Response.

So have your temps dropped back down?

Well that is where I don't know, we have my in laws dog here at the moment and the rascal decided she wanted to eat my sensor, so I won't get my replacement until tomorrow, so I don't actually know, but I suspect it has and the drop in progesterone is what usually causes my headaches
