KirstenH Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've used it for years. What do you want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Just a "FYI" as people are reading this thread.... there's a "Lady Comp" for NOT wanting to get pregnant, and a "Baby Comp" that has the additional WANT to get pregnant option.... Wish I had known when I was younger :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I suppose I want testimonials that it worked, didn't break, etc. I can't find another method I'm comfortable with, and yet we are super fertile and don't really want more children.

KirstenH Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well, we've used it for 7 years without an oops, including the year that we used it to GET pregnant instead of avoid. It's incredibly accurate, in my experience. There are times that it shows me as fertile before my body does, and I'm tempted to ignore it, but sure enough, by that night, the signs always show up. It's got a bit of a learning curve ... the controls aren't terribly intuitive, and the calendar on mine is actually off by two days because I haven't figured out how to compensate for leap year, and I can't find my manual. :D If I were more motivated, I could probably fix that, but I don't really care what the date says. I'm not trying to diagnose anything or chart patterns .... I just look at the light every day to see if I'm allowed to have tea. The biggest issue I have with it is that I am apparently very fertile, so the "green" days are few and far between. I don't get much tea time, if you know what I mean. If you're comfortable using a backup barrier method on "yellow" days, that could help, but we're Catholic, so that's not really an option for us. One other thing to be aware of: the thermometer part on mine fails every so often and has to be replaced. You can order this part separately for about $40. I think I have replaced it twice in 7 years. Also, the battery on mine has been dead for at least two years, so I leave it plugged into the wall. You have to send it to the company to get the battery replaced (unless they've changed this recently), and I just don't find it worth the trouble. Plugging it in is fine for me.

ktgrok Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 How many days a month do you get a red or yellow? That would be a concern I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstenH Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Let's just put it this way: I usually have about 10-14 green days a month. At least 7 of them are during my period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
