Taking Charge of Your Fertility

I have recently started reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility and I'm curious about a few things. Is it difficult to get the hang of it? Is it as effective as the book claims?

Clear Blue Fertility Monitor

This is my 1st month using the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor. I've read the instructions but was wondering what your experiences with it were? I'm on day 15 with a "high" reading BUT that has been the case since day 10. I'm planning on giving it another try next month to see what happens but my only concern is I've used the ovulation tests (sticks) in the past and for those of you who have used them know that both lines need to be as dark or darker than the test strip - that never happened for me.
