Question Ovulation Monitors/Test Kits?

I had my first visit to a fertility doctor today who suggested I get a fertility test kit. Does anyone have a suggestion on one they've used? Or all they all pretty much the same?

Thanks!

Well, if you have PCOS, chances are, it wont work for you. The pee-on kind detect LH surges. PCOSers tend to have high LH levels but even if not, can tend to have LH surges even when not ovulating.

If you dont know for sure, then I suggest going with TheDonna.com or Lady-Q. These detect saliva changes which is not effected by LH.

Thanks for the warning...I also noticed that on the box tonight when I went shopping. It says that PCOS people shouldn't rely on the pee on kind.

I will have to research the saliva ones tonight.

I think this is going to be a long road ahead!

Thanks again for the info.
