Diaper Swappers

tedcgh · 07-07-2012, 09:24 PM

A friend of my told me about the Lady Comp, and now I am intrigued. I have been considering the Lady Comp over the Pearly, but finding hard to make the leap. I found a really good price for an OvaCue locally, but there is something about the LC and pearly that still have me intrigued. So let me know what you think about any of the fertility monitors that you have experience with.
Is there a better place to buy a Lady Comp or a Pearly? They are so expensive, if I chose to buy one, I want to make sure it is a legitimate supplier. Any experience working with one of these, please let me know. I am super irregular, so even though they say that it will help out even if you are irregular, I am worried that it will be super confusing and not worth the investment. Anyone have luck buying one used? If so where did you get it at? Did the other persons statistics throw everything off?

I have a LadyComp an love it. I charted for 6 years (successfully) before purchasing one. We decided that if we wanted to be done having children (which at this point we do, but who knows) and don't want to use any sort of birth control it would be worth the investment. This way there is no human error or "guessing" with my charts etc.

I am still breastfeeding and JUST got my cycle back this past month. But, so far I really love it. It's so easy to use and seems accurate. Like I said, since I just had my first cycle I haven't been able to really test it out too much yet.
But I will say that my cycles are irregular for quite a while after getting PPAF and I am not worried about it. It can read irregular cycles once you get a couple in there. I also don't get a lot of sleep and am interrupted a lot at night. I love that the LC has a 3 hour window for taking your temp accurately.

As for a place to purchase one, you want to get one from a certified dealer or you will not get the warranty!!! As expensive as these things are, you want a warranty! I ordered from the USA site, www.raxmedical.com Their customer service has been wonderful and I highly recommened ordering from them. I have emailed them twice with questions and got a response the same day with follow ups even after I was done emailing. lol I also called one for help and the lady was SO helpful.

I bought a new one, as they did not have any refurbished ones when I ordered. But the refurbished ones aren't that much cheaper and come with much less (or none at all??) warranty.

Anyway, if you have any other questions feel free to PM me. I don't check the threads very often.

Anyone use the OvaCue classic? There is one on my local Craigslist and I can't find anything about it.
