Hi There,

Can anyone recommend the best way to test ovulation - urine testing or saliva microscope?

All advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

The saliva microscope is a waste of time and money. I bought one and it remains in my draw. OPK and temping is about the best.

I agree with the others OPKs and temperatures work best for me. I could never get the microscope thing to work.

I'll go against the grain a little and say that I bought a saliva microscope and so far it has worked really well for me - the trick for me was learning to interpret the 'results' properly and finding out what others experiences had been. Luckily I got one on TradeMe so it wasn't nearly as expensive as buying one retail. Oh, and the brand I got was Maybe Baby, though I know that there is one called Fertile Focus too, and maybe a third but I can't remember the brand name.

If you have any more questions about the saliva scope feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Thank you girls for your replies. Much appreciated. I might try and suss out the Fertility Friend website charting. Not sure how to go about it yet but will do my best.
