subject: How Using an Ovulation Fertility Monitor Can Increase Your Chance of Pregnancy [print this page] When I first started trying to get pregnant last year, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I thought that just keeping track of my most fertile days of my menstrual cycle was enough. I'd never even heard of an ovulation fertility monitor before.
Boy, was I wrong.
It turns out, my cycle is somewhat irregular, so my hormones don't peak when I expect them to. I was way off on my Peak Fertility calculations.
So I started doing a little bit of research on the Internet. Actually, I did a lot of research. And I found out a lot more about getting pregnant with an irregular cycle than I realized even existed.
I got in touch with a mother of four children (I figured, hey, she's obviously had success!) who told me how she had gotten pregnant so many times with her irregular cycle.
Unlike a pregnancy test, which only tells you if you're pregnant, an ovulation fertility monitor helps you keep track of your high fertility and peak fertility days during your menstrual cycle.
So I decided hey, it can't hurt to try one myself. After all, I was at my wit's end trying to get pregnant for eight or nine months. Enough was enough - I obviously needed some help.
So I ordered an ovulation fertility monitor from Amazon for about $150. The minute it arrived in the mail, I gave it a try. Five minutes later, I got an accurate reading on my estrogen and Luteinizing Hormone levels. According to the ovulation fertility monitor, I should start trying to pregnant in just two days.
I followed the ovulation fertility monitor's readings to a "t." I feared I wouldn't have any success.
But then about three weeks later, I noticed a few changes in my body. Nothing serious, just something a little subtle. I took a pregnancy test and "Voila!" I was pregnant!
