Is the CB fertility monitor worth it?

[CertainTurton]

Hi, we had an oppsie this month but if im not preg now (im 10dpo) then we are going to start ttc no 2 next cycle last time I was doing a research project I got free digi ov and pg tests etc but won't get that this time. Is the cb monitor worth the money? I did like the no fuss smiley before.
Any opinions or advice appreciated Thanks

From what I understand, the new smiley clearblue tests do pretty much the same thing - it now has a "flashing" smiley for the high fertility stage and a non flashing one for the peak (I think). One of those is about the same amount as a refill pack of sticks for the fertility monitor, so it might be worth trying that? That saying, I love the monitor and it got me pregnant first month with my son I'm trying a month without it this month for cost reasons and just using cheapie OPKs, and I feel completely lost!

Thanks for replying. I hadn't heard of the cb tests. I will look those up. Yes I tried the cheapy ones too and was always double guessing myself!

Here it is cheaper than the monitor as you have to buy the monitor and then the tests each month - this one you just buy the pack each month. Although the 20 pack is more expensive but it depends when you ovulate. I ovulate around day 20 so I need more than 10 sticks.
