No problem Nicola - at least if I don't get pg myself in the near future I can feel like i helped other people trying too!!

Teacups I think thats fine - I just use wet cotton wool or tissue then dry it - i would think so long as you have a look through the lens once you've cleaned it, provided its clear I'd say ther'd be nothing on it to interefere with the next sample! :)

Thanks Rubymummy Smile. Shall keep my fingers crossed for you. Definitely agree about the commission.

I tried this am with saliva but only blobs Sad. This is day 17 though so I may have missed my ferns for this month. I am going to try and do it every day to see if i ever get ferns.

BTW, what do you clean yours with? I have been wiping it with a bit of tissue until it looks clear, do you think that's enough?

Hi all :-) Hope dizzy and nicola got copies of the instructions i emailed :-) Musa - mine arrived pretty quickly (not sure exactly as it was 18 mths ago now. Hope yours gets there safely soon.
Teacups - I have never had good result from cm even when saliva is showing ferns - i think because you leave marks with whatever you put it on the slide with (?) Be interested to know if anyone else manages to see ferns with cm. Perhaps you could try 1st thing in the morning before breakfast??

As for me - 3 days to go before i dare test...

OP posts:

used mine 2x now (with cm rather than licking, as I rarely go 2 hours without something to eat or drink - maybe that's why I am on the lardy club thread Grin) and just blobs no ferns for me. Am on day 15. Have I missed the boat do you think? I have only had 2 periods since DD born and am worried that i am not ovulating. I shall keep trying and keep you posted Smile

dizzy36 · 10/03/2006 12:42

You have to take the lens out, lick the bottom of it (the flat edge) and replace it. Then wait 15-20 mins before you look at it. If you are doing that all ok then the blobs just mean you're not fertile yet. But the leaflet has pics so let me have your email address and i will send it to you asap :)

hi, I've just got the isis scope but didn't come with any instructions! Am I right in saying you put saliva on the lens that you look through and not the lens that is near the 'bulb'.

I've tried it last few mornings looking through lens at the top and can't see anything thats looks like ferns or not ferns, just blobs really. I'm sure not doing it right. Lots of cm since day 12 (now 14) but still not getting clear picture of what saliva is like...please help

HI Musa :)

It depends on the length of your cycle but on a 28 day cycle ovulation is usually about 14 days after the end of a period so the scope will show a mixture of ferns and spots (transitional ferns) changing to just ferns and then back to a mixture then back to just spots.

Your peak fertility will be when the ferns are stringest but you can conceive from a couple of days before ferns appear as sperm can live for a while inside you.

With the scope it only takes a few minutes so you can test every day really :-) Have you bought a scope?- everything i've said is on the info leaflet :) HTH and good luck :-)

RubyMummy when is the best time to test?.

Welcome new isis girls :o Its so irritating waiting isn't it? Don't despair!! It took us a year to conceive dd after coming off the pill despite us both being young and no fertility problems. At least the scope will make it easy to spot the time for lots of bding!! good luck :)
