Clearblue advanced fertility monitor (new one with touchscreen)

Hi older mummy thanks for tip v useful not sure how dh would feel but needs must

Chander sorry u r having a rubbish time. I think this could b ur lucky month.

Cd 13 here and a peak on the cbfm yippeee. I guessed it might b as last night started to get ovulation aches. Dtd eod commences!!

Sorry to gatecrash your thread but I saw it in the Active Threads.

I am a veteran user of the CBFM when it first came out. We had had 3 years of unexplained fertility when I started using it. I got my peaks for the first 6 cycles but no BFP.

On my next cycle I got my peak in the morning as usual. My husband was already at work and was going to be leaving for a conference just before I got home . Desperate not to miss a peak opportunity I told him to er....leave his deposit in a pot before he went, which he did after much moaning. I dashed home and inserted it myself using a syringe. Imagine my shock at getting my first BFP that month. It ended in early miscarriage sadly but the next month we thought we'd try the DIY artificial insemination again - another BFP!! All in all I had 4 miscarriages and then 2 babies and got pregnant every month we did DIY insemination. My fertility doctor said that maybe my mucus was a bit hostile but the syringe deposited the sperm in a better place or that maybe my cervix was at a difficult angle for the sperm to get to.

Anyway, again sorry for the hijack, just thought my story might be useful especially when you are just so sick of DTD that you need a 'night off' but can't afford to.

Good luck ladies!!!!! X

Hi all, sorry I've not posted for a while. Had the period from hell then been waiting to start testing again-first test tomorrow this month, cd9.

Feeling very disheartened in general about it all. This will be month 9, which I k ow isn't long compared to some but it's really getting me down Found out an old friend is pregnant and found it so hard to congratulate her. I am pleased for her, bit so . for me and DH. Also going to a BBQ with some of DHs mates at the weekend where there will be another newly announced pregnant lady.

Have had a really tough week with work, issues with re mortgaging the house and then BIL who is staying with us at the most ruined a washload of my clothes by washing them at 80 degrees followed by tumble drying for 3.5hours....so all in all, a totally shit time....sorry for moaning. Need to pick myself up and carry on but all seeming a bit much at the most.

Hope you guys have been having better luck!

CD27 for me - after peak I kept feeding the machine the same stick and got peak, high, low, low then missed the 20th day. No sign of AF, last cycle was 27 days but before that is was 35 after mc. Not getting excited yet as if machine was correct in identifying my peak then I have no chance of bfp. On the plus side at least it will improve my faith in it!

Next month I think I will wait til peak before I jump DH - that or at least have a few days go highs before jumping him as don't want to peak early again!!

Hi Ladyboluna and Foxtrot, 2ww for me too, AF due on Monday.

It's been my first month using the cbfm and I am a bit disappointed tbh - got highs every day since day 8, but no peak so it just kept asking me for sticks until I'd got through 20 of them - last stick today and it automatically switched to low. I did do them all as I read the monitor 'learns' your cycles so hopefully it will ask for a lot less next month (assuming I am not preg!)

It annoys me because the machine is obviously programmed to give a certain pattern of results, so as I didn't get a peak it felt like a bit of a waste of time this month. No idea whether I ov'd or when, but I wore DH out after the first week of highs (just like you Foxtrot!) so if I ov'd late I missed it!

Really hoping next month is better and the machine gives me a peak!

Hi ladies cd11 here been poas since cd6 all low so far. I guess that's pretty normal? My ovia app reckons 2 mo I hit my fertile window so let's see what the fertility monitor does :-)

Oh and I read that after a peak the machine will auto give you another peak, followed by high and then a low, so since first peak I've just fed it the same stick, had the second peak, high today and anticipate low tomorrow. At least I've saved three sticks - seems a bit of a con really.

I'm secretly hoping that my CBFM is giving me dodgy results! High readings from day 6 then peak on cd19. Would have expected it around 13-15. Didn't dtd anywhere around the peak as had exhausted DH out with trying to do it eod on highs! Only time will tell I guess. If I get AF in the next 7-8 days it will have been wrong, if it takes 12 days plus to arrive it was right and if I'm pregnant it was definetly wrong!

First cycle using it and have to take into account my messed up cycles after mc.... will wait and see!

Should have mentioned I'm on day 23 now. I'm almost out of sticks!

Hi all :-)

I've been using this monitor all month and I'm not sure whether I've got a duff one or it's not very accurate?! I've had nothing but lows all month. However mumsnet sent me the clearblue dual ovulation stick thingy (technical term :-p) to test after I had already bought this and that's given me highs since day 16 and a peak today. Double checked with a ic opk (because its not possible to pee on too many sticks!) and that's positive too. I'm very confused because I thought the advanced monitor was supposed to be the best but even if it didn't pick up the peak I should have at least had a high? Anyone else had this problem?

Hey what, I haven't used the cbfm for this yest as only asked for first stick today. I would go buy a first response they seem to be able to pick up preg info eraliest

Morning guys.
Has anyone had a false positive using cbfm?
Got a bfp yesterday on cbfm- yay! Went and bought a digi thinking it would be nice to double confirm it- bfn. But then it was not fmu so I wasn't worried.
This morning tested again with cbfm- bfn, same on digi! Whaaat!
Have no idea what this means. Was the cbfm wrong yesterday? Was it chemical and the level has dropped overnight so now monitor doesn't pick it up? Can you just not test two days in a row on cbfm?
Going a bit mad, pregnant or not?

I called the helpline, most unhelpful and now waiting for 'product specialist' to call back. The monitor said bfn refer to instructions, instructions said call helpline, helpline said no idea. I suspect they are going to say wait a few days and either af or something similar will turn up or test again. So tempted to go and buy a load of hpts but know that's daft. Aarrrggghh!

Morning day day 1 of pissing on stick and feeling v nervous cbfm currently analysing results as we speak. Hope I get used to this!

Big hugs Chunder. Next time.

I'm controlling myself and not poas cos I'm scared of the bfn! Will try and wait for af to appear.

I'm also reusing an old fertility stick as I think it's a waste of money to carry on poas once you've gone low after your peak!

Poo, and did it manage the cycle u thought u had? Great work on the peaks :-)

Yes, first cycle, I got loads of lows, one high, two peaks, a high, then lows again. DH was away from the first peak

Poo what a cow! Was this ur first cycle chunder and did u get a peak?

Hi all. AF got me she's a bitch this month too! Wine and chocolate now. Good luck all

Hey fox, hope u managed to dtd and at least u have the cbfm to tell u when u have a peak :-)

Cd20 and have got a peak - last dtd on CD14 thinking it has missed peak. Have no clue what has happened to my cycles since mc except they are all messed up.

Thanks otter I'm excited to but the though of waking a checking time and then peeing isn't filling me with joy

Hey Katie. The manual says to poas for your fmu and then keep it until your test window. So I've done that a couple of times as we went away and flew at silly o clock. I got blasé about it all, thinking I'd never see a high or peak. It shocked me when I saw it! Don't be scared, you're just arming yourself with knowledge about your workings. That's how I see it anyway!

Chunder I haven't tried a pg test yet, so I don't know what to say for that. Two lines must be good though? Maybe give it another few days? Fx!
