Just giving this a little bump as I'm interested in buying one of these too, they're a lot cheaper than the CBFM but I don't want to waste my money if they're not any good

Any advice please??

I use a persona monitor and all it does it gives you green days and red days as you noticed and it will tell you when you are ovulating as well by showing a little egg sign where it shows the CD you are on when the test picks it up. Hope this helps. Persona do have their own website which has the user guide on it if you haen't got one.

hi guys, i posted this in the main ttc forum but realisle it might be better here:

a lot of threads seem to talk about Clearblue Fertility Monitors and how good they are, I have been using a Persona monitor for about 2 years and I find it ok but doesn't really tell me anything about my cycle that I don't know myself (and as I usually Ov late-ish in cycle the monitor usually misses it). I was just wondering what people thought about how the two were similar / different, is the clearblue one considerd to be better? or does it just give different information? i can't quite work this out from the company websites and wondered if people had had experience of using either / both and how useful they had found them?
thanks for any info or advice! sorry to not be of much help in answering earlier questions ... i'm full of em myself

honey08 · Dec 17th, 2008, 04:20 AM
