Sorry, don't know anything about it, but didn't want to read and run. I'm sure someone else will be able to help.

Have you tried using normal OPKs or the Clearblue Digital OPKs - they are really good (albeit expensive - around £20.00 for seven sticks)? I suppose they are not so good if you are very irregular - but if you try using them during the middle of your cycle - around day 12 - 14, this gives you up until day 19 - 21 to catch ovulation.

I don't know about the Clearblue Monitor - they are quite expensive aren't they, around £100? You could possibly get cheaper on Ebay. There is a thread about it somewhere on the TTC Products sub-forum where some members have reviewed it. I think you test every day, so this would probably be better than normal opks for an irregular cycle. How irregular are you?

i can go from between 4-6 weeks from one period to the next,so its really hard for me to determine when the best time is going to be

You should check out the post on the Fertility Monitors on the TTC Product sub forum as this sounds better for you than regular opks - unless you buy cheapies.

the Monitor does advice that it's not good for irregular cycles. Although I'm still waiting on mine to arrive, so I'm only going on what I've read online.

Have you ever thought of trying Vitex? It's a natural supplement that is known for helping women regulate their cycles and increase chance of ovulation?

I think the monitor can work for irregular cycles but it wont be a cheap option as you would probably need the full box of 20 sticks per cycle.

I'm not sure, it's a natural supplement, I bought some bottles off Ebay (lol I buy everything on ebay ) It's also known as agnus castus. I think a pharmacy should have it, if not a health store might.
