I have two children and am getting married soon. My Fi wants children of his own I want to wait a while. Has anybody heard of The Donna? It is suppose to be 98% accurate. I want to know when I am fertile and not have to worry about any other devices. I heard it is good, but everybody on this board has given me so many ideas and other info that I was curious before I start taking it

I have never heard of the Donna but there is times in the month when you are safe. Why don't you talk to your doctor & see what they say.

Re: Fertility test 'The Donna'
Let me correct myself it is not something you take, it is a saliva test. So, you can be sure when you are fertile and when you are not.
no but it does look quite simple and interesting, plus it is FDA approved

Just out of curiosity, where did you hear about it? My girlfriend saw an ad in parenting magazine and recommended it to me. I just have been having more trust in what everybody on this board has been saying regarding wedding planning. That I figured I could carry over into otheraspects of my life.

I actually heard of it from you and then did some research regarding it, it seems so much more simpler than spending 150 on a monitor or charting temps. We are TTC so it seems like it might be a good option

I never heard of the Donna, but ovulation predictor kits (OPK) are good for telling if you're fertile. It's similar to a pregnancy test, you just pee on a stick and detects the LH hormone.

I tried other things with my first husband and i agree this does seem simplier. I am not ready for kids now, but I know my fi will want them. I might order it soon this way when the time comes I will be prepared.
Did you do a search oncenceiving? I mostly am into the parenting stage of stuff, so this is all new to me again.

Re: Fertility test 'The Donna'
I saw it I saw it! I was in the doctor's office and he had a July issue of Newsweek in the waiting room (are those magazines EVER up to date??) anyway, in this issue was a picture on the Donna and how it works and why it is so good. According to this Newsweek, it is only $60 and can be re-used for a whole year, with nothing else to buy. That's good, because I don't want to bother with any sessy urine teste...this sounds so much better. WHo has one here? is it working for you? should i get one? do you recommend it? Lilli did you get one yet? what do you think?

I was thinking of getting one. I was asking around if anybody else had gotten one

I have heard that they are about 50-60 dollars and they are good for a year! Sounds like it's worth it. Good Luck!
