Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor or Clearplan

Let me start by saying I saw this monitor and that is what started it all for me. I have always been interested in being a mommy. It took me a while to get pregnant with Ariel and I wish I had known about this monitor sooner. Clearplan changed there name to Clearblue. Why? I have no clue. It is the same EXACT monitor, takes the same exact test strips. Has no Outward or Inward differences that I am aware of. This monitor has a start up cost of 199.99$ (in most stores) NEW or buy it on Ebay New for alot less. Plus an extra 49.99$ for a 3 month supply of test sticks. My suggestion, buy it used. Alot of people have a phobia of buying this monitor used but, it is cheaper, totally sanitary and works EXACTLY the same. I have taken the Clearblue monitor apart, I know how to reset them, I have used the Clearblue monitor. It is easy to use. You read the instructions, put in the batteries, set the machine to your Cycle Day (1-5) and turn it on every day. Be sure you set it in the morning, as you want to use First morning Urine (FMU). It will tell you when to Pee-On-A-Stick (POAS) and insert it into the monitor for reading. Urinating on the test stick instructions: Incase you have never POAS before... You open the wrapper, pull out the test stick & remove the cap from the one end. Pee in a Cup, yes I said a cup. Do you want to pee all over your hand? The toilet??? No? Then just pee in a cup (not your husbands Coffee mug, this might make him unhappy). Dip the fiberous end in the urine and wait a few seconds. Pull the stick out of the pee, put the cap on that end, this is important as it contains the urine now inside the test stick! ATTENTION!!! Urine does NOT touch the monitor. Click the test stick into the monitor (while its on, calling for a test) and wait. The monitor will flash, letting you know that it is reading the stick. This can take MANY minutes. When it is done it will tell you to remove the test stick (using symbols ofcourse) and give you your fertility reading. 1 bar means, low fertility, 2 bars mean High fertility and 3 bars mean PEAK fertility. When you get PEAK, make like rabbits! Well, anyway that means that you are at the best time to get pregnant. Got Questions? Post here or check out there website: www.clearblueeasy.com FYI They will tell you that you can't use someone elses monitor, this is NOT true. They will tell you that you can't RESET the monitor, This is also untrue ( I know how). They will also tell you, don't use expired test strips, well I use them exp from 2000 and it told me my low, high & peak days just as well, so judge for yourself. All in all, want to get pregnant faster? Buy a used monitor on ebay or craigslist (don't get ripped off ok? Be sensable, I am not responsable for your foolishness) and expired test sticks. Relax and have fun TTC!
