Duo Fertility Monitor

[MrsHowley81]

Kaye I had trouble with that too, as it also said about comparing charts with other users...... never did get to the bottom of it, that's why I started a thread here x

 

[Kitsia]

No , I am not aware of it either. That's why I am using fertility friend as well . You can compare your chart to other peoples and have all the other great stuff on it. I found DF software very basic. For example you can not even see what cycle day you are on.

 

[MrsHowley81]

They do Like you to give feed back it might be worth making a few suggestions, we should compile a list together and send it off

 

[MrsHowley81]

Hi Ladies, I had an e-mail about the study, I am now doing it just got to send the consent form back

 

[Kitsia]

Hey, welcome to the club !!! I am just testing my first OPK trying to decide negative or positive. I think it's negative

Did you get your OPK's yet ?

 

[MrsHowley81]

No not yet, I suppose they won't send them until they have received consent What opk's are you using, I used to use them before I got the monitor, I also used the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor, So it shouldn't be too hard to get to grips with again

 

[Kitsia]

I used to use Clear Blue digitals, the ones with smiley face. I read DF does not recommend digital OPK's. They are sending out First Response Easy-Read Ovulation test. The ones with two pink lines. At first I was not sure if I got positive or not, but I compared my result with other peoples pictures and I am confident it is still negative. But not too far now

hi ladies, how are we all? Any good news to share?

Well i had quite a dramatic temp drop last night, so should i now be waiting to see if it rises tomorrow, when will ovulation happen, So confused.
Im on cd9.

thanks in advance xxx babydust to all xx

 

[Kitsia]

Hey Kaye, I get dramatic drops very often but as I said, my temperatures are always adjusted by DF specialists or by the program itself. I got dramatic drop few days ago but it was brought up so it does not look as dramatic anymore.
For my First cycle I had a drop right before ovulation, for the second one I only had a slight increase. No dramatic drop and no increase. Two cycles looking very different from each other.
I am also on CD9 !!! Should be ovulating any time soon as I got positive OPK this morning. Well, at least I think it was positive

I will upload my chart when I get home from work so you can have a look what I get if you want to.

Here is the latest chart as I see it today. The temperature drop that you see on the 21st is at 34.98C but yesterday it was at 34.79C.

 

[MrsHowley81]

Wow Looks good Kitsia, it could well be, I think I am ovulating today, I know that it is probably impossible for me to conceive before my Laparascopy and Hysteroscopy but I still like seeing if I am ovulating and BD'ing just to make sure x

Good morning ladies. Here is my todays chart. As you can see the temperature drop that I had on 21st has disappeared. It went up from 34.79 to 34.98 and then to 35.15.
I have also got positive OPK for the second day in a row. It has never happened before when I used CB Digital. Maybe I am reading it wrong, but the test line is darker than control so it must be positive.
Mrs Howley, have you had positives OPK's two days in a row ?

 

[kaye]

im getting confused, sorry im a nightmare but i have never even charted before. what should i be looking out for on temperatures to show ovulation?

Good luck Krista! Have fun babymaking, and fingers crossed you catch the egg xx

My chart and reader showing green days so exciting when i seen them, i know its only guide this month has they have gone off my last 3 cycles to get info as, this morning my 4th temperature been entered. Excited all the same.

babydust to us all xx

 

[Kitsia]

Hi Kaye, I have never charted before either and was very confused at the beginning. I did a charting course on fertility friend website. They explain everything very well and have different type of tests and quizzes so you can test your knowledge. It has helped me a lot to understand what to look for on your chart. And it is free for the first month VIP access.
Hope this helps

 

[Kitsia]

Hey girlies, how are you getting on ? Any news on ovulation yet ?

I have finally got a reply from DF support in relation to my green days. They have agreed that the monitor predicted it incorrectly and moved them back. Good I was not relying on it 100% as I would have missed my fertile window .

Hi ladies, I'm going to join this thread as its recent (which is always good) and also because I am considering purchasing a DuoFertility. The reason I want to purchase is mostly to help with timing.

I started charting at the beginning of this months period (22nd) and my temps seemed quite low, at around 35.19 and today's 35.85. My chart doesn't go down this low, so instantly I thought something was wrong with me. However looking at DF charts you guys have up loaded, it see your temps are similar.

I am 26 and fiancé is 27. No children yet.

What sort of temps do you average at on duofertility records?

 

[Kitsia]

Welcome PinkiSexi,

My lowest temperature was below 35. I think around 34.5. I was a bit worried at first but then I saw other charts were quite low as well. It even says in the manual that your temperatures are lower because it is your skin temperature and not oral or vaginal.

Hi pinkisexi,

Mine have all been low so far since saturday.
