Since my thermometer is still unable to predict ovulation after four months use, is there a way to input the days when it's obvious I'm ovulating?

I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. It's necessary for you to stabilize your menstrual cycle in order to calculate automatically. It's only best way. Keep it up. You are almost there.

I can tell you that for me, my line was NEVER as dark as the control line. It was very frustrating because I never knew whether I was actually ovulating or not. I finally learned that I was ovulating, even though my line was never as dark as the control, because I actually got preggo on a cycle in which that happened! It's all about learning how your own body works. I guess I just didn't make "enough" LH to show correctly on the test, but I started being able to judge when the line was as dark as it was going to get. Good luck!

I'm not sure you have a choice of dates. Mine was not expired, if that's what you meant.

I am not completely sure, as I have irregular cycles. I do know it was really early, because I found out I was four weeks pregnant a week after I got my first positive with these. If I had to estimate, I would say probably 10-12 DPO. I tested on cycle day 40 and got my first positive. Please keep in mind that I have irregular cycles, and my last one before we found out was 36 days. Best of luck, and baby dust!

You don't have to chart or second guess yourself. After you take your temp, it gives you a red light or a green light. It keeps all the info so you can go back and check past days and it gives a 6 day ahead "guess" to help you plan ahead. My favorite thing is that my husband can't argue with a red light! No more "how sure are you?"

I now use the JW smart temp thermometer in my tank. It is the only one that worked for me, and I use it to this day. You can find it at Amazon, It is a magnet held one.

If it is on the battery, I am unable to see a logical date. Some batteries that I have purchased had the date on the package. I have disposed of the package for this battery. Lou

Mine took a few weeks to hit the right temperature. Then, they came pouring out one day, hundreds it seemed. Then a few days later the other egg case opened and hundreds poured out. Not an expert by far, but that's what happened for me : )

Actually I just now looked at it. hit the clock/calendar key to go to date or time to set. Then hold down the time set (equal key) until the first digit blinks on the readout. Then set either the time or date setting you earlier had selected. When done hit the time set (equal key) again.

Hi. You can set it to a mode that will announce time every hour if you like. It does not tell weather.

I struggled with this too until I realized you actually have to keep pressing up to increment the date day by day, through the months and years 'til you arrive at today. If you just hold the button, it moves much more quickly, of course.

I tested after lunch and after dinner about 6 - 8 hours later. I also tested twice a day when the result line started to get darker. When the result line was just as dark as the test line I knew I was ovulating within the next 48 hours.

Yes it can tell you the date of the babe due and how many weeks are you .As long as you have the date of LMP( 1st day of last menstural period)

Nope, just temperature and that sensor failed on me as soon as it was out of warantee cooking the eggs, another one only cooled, wouldn't heat - manufacturer and warantee company wouldn't even allow me to get a replacement sensor if I paid for it. If you get an incubator go here to buy a temp alarm. I would never buy exo terra, it's asking for trouble.

There will always be a control line. The second line will show up only if you are close to ovulating or ovulating. It got progressively darker before ovulation and lighter after ovulation and then blank. Once I got 2nd pink line I would start testing twice a day so I didn't miss ovulation.

Ovulation test strips are to help you see the hormone surge that occurs before ovulation.(so to answer you question for the most part yes) For most women that means you should be ovulating 24-48 hours after having a positive strip. The best way to know (when or close to when you normally ovulate) is to keep track of you temps by charting, sites like fertility friend can help you with that. Ovulation strips are a tool that can make charting and pinpointing ovulation easier.

Yes you can! The thermometer comes pre calibrated. If you'd like to calibrate anyways instructions are included in the box. You just need to place the thermometer in ice water and press the CAL button
