Are you using your scope first thing in the morning? I've found that even if I wait two hours after I eat, drink, brush my teeth, I can see ferns sometimes!!

most mornings i do use it before i do anything else but the last 2 results have been after drinking/eating. is that maybe the problem? didnt think about it until i read your post!!
thanks for replying

You should just test once in the morning as soon as you wake up and then use those results, if you eat or drink it can effect the results, i waited 2 hours after i ate like your supposed to and i had ferning - i was on day 2 of my cycle
