the re-usable saliva ovultation predictors? are they good?
I am about to start tracking things and am not sure whether to go for test strips or something like the saliva microscope. Happy to hear your advice. |

I have just started using it. And have to say they do work. you do need quite abit of saliva on it. You need to let it dry for the whole day. ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/250ed1" rel="nofollow">  TTC#1 Jan 2009 |

| I've been using mine for about 5 months and it takes a bit to get the knack of it. It wasn't till I found somewhere online that you are supposed to use saliva from under your tounge that I started getting more accurate results. I do mine as soon as I get up in the morning and leave it on the tv by the air conditioner vent while I have a shower and that seems to dry it quicker. I've heard of other ladies putting them in the hot water cupboard to speed up the drying. |

| I haven't had a lot of succes with mine and I have put quite a bit on it and let dry for ages. Don't know if it is just the microscope I got or me not doing something right! |

I get mixed results and I wonder if that's because of my PCOS... not sure.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have one but I keep forgetting about it until after breakfast and such a greedy person that first thing in the morning is the only time I've gone at least 3 hours without eating or drinking.
I have it beside the bed and still don't see it. Might need to put it in the bathroom. And after reading the posts above will try putting more saliva on, and using the stuff under my tongue. |
