Hi all,

I'm just wondering what methods besides temping, and poas sticks there are out there for detecting ovulation? I've heard something before about 'watches', but my guess is these could be expensive, and I don't know how reliable these are. I also vaguely recall something about kits that use your saliva instead of urine - are these disposable or reusable? Has anyone tried them?

Also, with a thermometer for temping, what brands are out there and what are prices like?

TIA!

You can pick up BBT thermoters for about $20 on TM. I think the saliva ones (I think called MaybeBaby or something) can be about $100 and are reusable. I don't know anything about them though.

Also you can chart your CM (see Jess's thread on charting for info) which can be pretty good as when you've got fertile CM you just go for it like rabbits! Good luck anyway.

Hi pearls. I have brought a little saliva tester thingy off trademe (similar as maybe baby but half the price) and you just put a little bit of saliva on it first thing in the morning then look into the little microscope thingy and it tells if you are ovulating or not. Seems to work quite good. I ovulate at different times of the month so this is quite worthwhile as otherwise I have no idea when I ovulate. All the best...

lol!!! That pretty much sums it up.

I dont know about the saliva things i.e. MaybeBaby but have heard both good and bad things about them. Personally I wouldnt go all out to buy one when charting your CM and temps is just as effective and far less $$.
Good luck
