"Saliva Ovulation Microscope" Any one using one?

[Babymad2DS]

On Friday I brought one of them "saliva ovulation microscope" off eaby £11.50 thats with post, waitting for it to come in the post. I am so sick of buying them dam wee on Ov-stick, so much money when you've been TTC along time (17 months). When I use the wee on ov-sticks I get upto nine +opk in a row, not good, so going to see how i get on with this!
Any body else using one!?

I love mine! I've used it succesfully twice and following a MC I'm using it again. I've found I get better results in the afternoon rather than first thing in the morning like they suggest. Seems pretty accurate and I love its "low-techness". I've read recently to maximise chances you should aim to have sex just before ovulation too, because sperm last longer than eggs. The fern patterns can last for maybe 4 days but if I remember right happen at/after ovlation. I actually used a combo of OPK strips and the microscope this month and the strips showed positive 2 days before the scope so guess that tallys. We took full advantage of all signs, but don't think it worked this month. Good luck!

Thanks treacletart, I'm looking forward to using it now.
Good luck to you too!

It worked for me Though still waiting for a viable pg (long story)

I still have it tucked away safely ready for its next use.

GOOD LUCK

It's here started using it, just to get i feel of it, it's like having a new toy! LOL.

A bit puzzled I got a few ferns today, could you get ferns if, say you got a cold or sore throt? I've only been using it a few days, so very new to this, I'll try it again in a few hours see if I get any again!

Hello! Tell me about your new toys, if your CM is totally unreliable like mine and I can't tell anything from it, would the ferning be the same? Thanks ladies

Good luck with the kit - I have really long cycles and was spending a fortune on ov kits too! The saliva test is really quick and easy, and I conceived after 2 periods! Will definately be using it to conceive again next time - all the best!

have a little pocket mini microscope, doesn't need batteries or anything, fit into handbag easy, I can use it over and over again, that's the part I love.

1. I pull the mini microscope out of the holding case.
   2)use the cloth and clean the scope.
   3)add a small amount of salvia on my finger and apply to the slid. wait 5mins, to completely dry.
   4)re-insert mini microscope into holding case.
   
2. hold up to light, and look through the eyepiece, you can adjust the lens to focused, to view your results.
   You have 3 picture to refer to, to see weather your, infertile, the transitory period or the fertile time in your cycle!
   Hope this helps MrsMcJur, I love using it! Just get use it at the moment tho!
