So there are several kinds that i've come across (there could be more) But you have the internet cheapies (ICs) and then the clear blue ones. So you have the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor (this one gives you smiley faces that are flashing or static) and the Clear Blue Advance Fertility Monitor (this one has a screen and has low, high and peak and also tests for pregnancy) i have the latter one.
So every morning i pee on the CBFM as instructed and an internet cheapie i do first thing in the morning, one straight after work and one just before bed. (i know you're not supposed to do one first thing, but i do)
You don't necessarily need to do both, but sometimes you can peak twice. You can get a positive opk and then not actually ovulate. And you could peak again a week or so later and then ovulate. This could happen a couple of time in a month (thus causing AF to be delayed). This is why i like to temp as well. Because it confirms that you've ovulated.
The negative side of the CBFM that i have is that once you hit peak, you can't test again until you're ready to test for pregnancy. You can only test when it tells you to. I've not had a cycle yet where i've peaked and not ovulated, but i know some women do.
I have however had a few issues since the miscarriage. I had one month where i didn't get a peak, and then this month where i go the peak the morning that i had the temp shift. But i'm thinking my hormones are still a little off.
