Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor or Clearbue Easy Ovulation Tests?

Are the CBE Ovulation tests enough? Or should I go for the whole kit? Clearly, these are the things that keep me up at night.

I've found the monitor to be really unreliable. It might just be because my hormones are wacky (even on natural cycles) but I would go the OPK route. Also, if you're planning to do meds, the CBEFM will be thrown off by them whereas it doesn't matter as much with the OPK.

I actually use both...the CBEFM lets me know when I am getting to high/peak fertility and the OPK confirms the CBEFM...I may be using it as overkill but I like to know whats going on hormonally...I prob dont even need to use them since I get monitored regularly and I use a trigger shot but I do it anyway.

I also use both...and agree it might be overkill but my cycles are naturally very long (even with clomid they were pretty long) so I liked knowing when it would be time to start using the OPKs. I used the monitor at home in the mornings and then took the OPKS when needed to work with me. I highly recommend the monitor if I had to pick one because I really like knowing that ovulation is only a few days away.
