I got no.1 green packaging, though they look like may be same thing, you should be able to get it in uk for just under £20 with p&P

I have the exact same one as number one! Just got it yesterday and I was showing a bit of ferning. Just waiting for todays to dry (I read to give it more like 15 + mins instead of the 5).

Later today I am going to look at my DHs sperm, lol. It will give me something to do while my feet are in the air!

Ladies I bought this and I've tried using it and currently I am
Just shining a light in my eye! Which side do u put the sperm on? The bit that twists in or the main bit? I tried to look at sperm and I couldn't see anything. Does sperm need to
Dry or do u look at it wet? I feel like I've wasted 15quid!

I'm not sure which microscope you have, but there should be a bit that pulls of, and the bit that goes inside should be flat - that is the bit you put the saliva (or sperm if that's what you're trying to see) on.

I've never seen sperm through mine, but I only tried it once, and that was months ago before reading this thread, I assumed they were too small to see. I believe sperm are the smallest cells in the human body, I tried looking at blood cells to get an idea of how small sperm might be, so I figured if you could see sperm cells, then they would be like tiny dots.

Anyway, if the semen sample is dry I'm pretty sure the sperm would be dead and so you wouldn't see any movement which I expect would be the indication that it is actually sperms you are seeing.

What do the sperm look like. Hubby and I tried to see his and it looked like clear bubbles and dark dots. Did you let it dry? I didn't notice movement. I am so nervous his swimmers aren't working.

They look like tiny black spots. But it took us looking at it for a while to notice them moving. They are so small it is really hard to see. Eventually after looking for a while you notice them moving. It is cool. Don't let them dry because they will eventually die. You also have to hold it so the semen doesn't run down.

I could use a regular microscope for this right? With slides? They sell them at Michaels and I've got a 40% off coupon.

I checked my CM and could see dead sperm from last night easily at 400x.

I need eyes! Would you all this partial or full ferning?
I used a student microscope, not a saliva microscope.
I am on CD 28, but I did not ovulate (progesterone is 1.1) I took clomid days 5-9.
My OPK was negative this morning but I have a really large BBT dip.
This was fresh morning saliva before eating or drinking.
