Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 te, It is a fertility tester that tells you when you are about to ovulate. Since I have been told that you can ovulate without having af after coming off depo provera, I decided it was a worthy investment for me. You can buy this thing at any drug type store. They are all 199 that is why I thought to try the internet. The test strips for the machine are 30 for 50 bucks which is suppossed to be a 3 month supply for a normal woman. Given that I am not normal due to the depo, I will take the test strip every day until I develop a routine. This is just my choice to help give me peace of mind while I work through this depo hell journey. And, just on the off chance, that I can get pregnant before the statistics say I will!!! The reason the machine is so much is that is is reusable unlike the tester strip you buy, they are one time deals. So instead of spending like 18 bucks for 5 tester strips each time, I am spending 100 for the machine (investment) and then it will be roughly 50 bucks a months instead of the 100 or so to buy the individual testers. Again, my situation is different because I am coming off depo and havent had a period in a year. It might not help at all, but it will help pass the time, and then, in a few months, if I havent gotten a cycle back yet, when I go see a doc, I will have done tons of work to know what if anything my body is doing to help them decide my next step. angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
