Been TTC since July last year and still not pregnant. AF came yesterday, the witch!
I used a Persona monitor last month but have taken it back this morning as I believe it to be faulty. My advice to everyone using both these monitors (they are made by the same people), is to look at the test sticks when you take them out of the machine to check them. I say this because I had the O symbol come up on my monitor on Days 11 and 12 but when I checked the sticks the LH line wasn't visible. Then on Day 15 the monitor gave me a green light but when I checked the stick the LH line was very visible. If I was trying not to get pregnant this would be completely wrong. I have been proved right in my interpretation as I started my period on Day 30, unfortunately. The results on the sticks did not deteriorate over time and when all put in a line, there is a definate pattern of hormones.
To interpret the sticks - With the pee end on the left, the LH line is on the left and the oestrogen line is on the right. As LH increases the line gets darker and as Oestrogen increases the line gets lighter so when you have an LH surge the stick should have a dark LH line and a light Oestrogen line.
This month I am just going to buy the sticks and interpret them myself. At least I managed detected my LH surge which I hadn't with using OPKs.
Hope this helps.
