Hi There,
Can anyone recommend the best way to test ovulation - urine testing or saliva microscope? All advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.  ------------- 2 ICSI Cycles (Both BFN) |

| 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. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

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. ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels. Remember, you are not managing an inconvenience; You are raising a human being. ~ Kittie Franz Next Slingbabies! Meet - Friday 4th May !! |
