Maybe Baby- any tips appreciated

[mochachinobaby]

:) Everyone,

Today i went out and bought one of those Maybe Baby Ovulation Predictor Kits. Bit pricey, but it lasts for one year and the results are quite accurate. I'm really excited about using it actually :goodvibes:

I don't have irregular cycles, but they are 45 days long, so i want to know for sure when i am ovulating just to maximise the chance of getting preggers.

I was hoping to hear from other ladies who have used Maybe Baby before? Any tips or advice, i would leave to hear.... Did you find that it really helped in you conceiving?

Look forward to hearing some interesting stories

:p

:thumbsdown: I didn't like it, too many things can interfere with the result, like certain foods, time of the day, medications etc. I could never get a clear result either. I muched prefered the urine test kits, found them spot on and now I have a gorgeous 6 month old ds. Thats just my opinion though I'm sure others have a positive story.

Hi HTBAM- I find my Maybe Baby a great intercator of when im o`ing. At first it took a bit to get used to and i only seemed to get pepples on it, untill i started having a small drink of water when i first woke up (it help to produce more clear saliva) and used it pretty much straight after that, and then i could see the results SO much more clearly. You cant eat or drink anything for up to 3 hours before useing it but water is fine.
I would also do it about 4.00pm in the arvo when i hadnt eaten anything since lunch time, as you can o later in the arvo. It might take a few weeks to master, but you`ll get there, :thumbsup:

i found that in the morning id wake up and have a really dry mouth, so id have water which they say is fine. then i tested and it said i had ferns. that was on cycle day 12..

i didnt actually ovulate until cycle day 23 according to poas opk.

i only ever had ferns when i didnt wait the full three hours. or had wter before hand. inface i tested first thing...pebbles, had waer tested again ferns! soooooooo..it didnt work for me.

I found that it was good to test first thing in the morning ( a few minutes after a sip of water) then I could go about my morning and not obsess about when the spit would dry, then go back to it a while later to check it.

On the day I got my first "transition" phase I tested again in the afternoon and it was full fern then and by next morning it was in Transition again then next day was dots - so sometimes good to test 2 times per day when you first see the transition start.

You can check out the MB website for some FAQ's too.

Good Luck!

Thanks everyone for your tips......

I did my first saliva test this morning and it showed that i was in the transitional phase :)

After reading some of the posts, i decided to follow the advice of drinking a bit of water just before testing. I could see the results really clearly.... there were quite a lot of dots and pebbles, but there were also one or two ferns, so that was really really exciting to see :yelclap:

Can't wait to test tomorrow and see what it looks like!!

Thanks again everyone and i would love to hear of any other stories....

well i bought one about four months ago, but it hasn't been any good for me because i havent o'd the whole time :laughing:

But what i did want to say, is i managed to break mine already... I noticed the eye peice was a bit dirty and so i used a cotton tip to try and clean and even being really carefully i managed to push the piece of glass down so that it now it isnt in the correct place to see through! Becareful when cleaning and :fingerscrossed: it shows u accurate results
