So the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor which costs about $200 only uses CBEFM Test Sticks which come in packs of 30 and cost about $35. Now, these 30 sticks last the "average" woman 3 cycles. You typically use 10 stick each cycle. They start asking on CD 9 and usually by CD 18/19 you have received your pretty little Peak egg and no longer need to give it sticks. Now each box of sticks has a different sensitivity so you aren't supposed to use sticks from different boxes. The month I tried that, I never even got a high, just all lows. So now I use sticks from one box.
What is the point of all of this....well that means that since my cycles suck now, I use almost 15 sticks each month (sometimes more), so I end up with random leftover sticks. I don't want to risk using the leftovers all in one cycle for fear of not getting anything other than low again.
I think it's a conspiracy to get me to buy more sticks. I usually get them from early-pregnancy-tests.com which is nice because they send me free pregnancy tests as well.
Now I know in the grand scheme of things, there are bigger problems out there, but today this is what sucks in my life.
Oh yeah, CD18-still low-p.i.s.s.

I lost track of how much money I spent on OPK's and HPT's. My SIL used the Ov-Watch which she said worked great, and you don't have to buy new stuff every stinkin month.
Booooo. Stupid CBEFM. Come on HIGH!!
