Today begins day one of my new friend ClearBlue Easy Fertility monitoring. Kind of cool, on the back of the package is the emotional marking ploy of actual babies conceived using the product. Definitely increased my desire to buy it. So I did. $185 for the monitor and 30 sticks.
So last night in bed, I sat and read the instruction manual. Program the monitor for my "m" day - the day of my period. You can actually set it for m1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, which was useful since it was day 5 of my period. Apparently, the first month is like dating - the monitor is getting to know you and your fertility habits. Personally, I'd rather just key this stuff in and skip the learning curve, but I digress. Now I have a 6 hour window every day to urinate on the stick and allow the monitor to evaluate my fertility.
I'm pretty regular and I've already notified my husband to black out a week of his day planner for our expected activities. This time, I'm going to try and do it right - every single night of the 5 day window. Unfortunately, the 5 day window isn't optimally scheduled for us. It's the first week of back to work for me and the hardest week of the month for my husband. Nothing we can do about that though.
Wish me luck! Here goes...
