subject: What Are Ovulation Monitors, and How Can They Help You Get Pregnant? [print this page] Ovulation monitors are a small digital device that double as women's best friend. An ovulation monitor not only tracks the days of your cycle, it tells you when you're most likely to get pregnant. How does ovulation monitors do that?
Ovulation monitors read how fertile you are by testing your urine. That's right - you pee on a test stick, just like a pregnancy test. But instead of testing if you're pregnant already, ovulation monitors will tell you if it's possible for you to get pregnant on any given day of your cycle.
Of course, it's "possible" to get pregnant virtually any day of the year - even during your period. But it's highly unlikely in most cases. That's why many women need these devices to tell them when it is most likely for them to get pregnant.
Conception isn't something that necessarily comes easily. You have to pick just the right day to "try to get pregnant," so to speak. Of course, you'll eventually get pregnant if you try to do so every day, but that's just not feasible or desirable for some. Plus, it defeats the entire purpose of scheduling your pregnancy around important dates or desired months.
That's why ovulation monitors are ordinarily so handy. Women can keep them discreetly tucked away in the bathroom and use them only when desired.
I know when I was trying to get pregnant, using an ovulation monitor was very helpful. Not only did it keep perfect track of my cycle, I didn't have to guess at which days I should try to get pregnant - I just knew. And no, it wasn't a hunch, it was with the help of this handy little tool. Without it, who knows - I might never have had a child! And at the rate I was going, that was quite a possibility.
