Clearblue advanced fertility monitor (new one with touchscreen)

OMG, just did a FRER and have a very strong BFP!!!!!!

Still v early days so trying not to get too excited but cannot believe it! Have NO symptoms so maybe that was the sign for this month?!

Good luck all!!!!

X

Thanks croon very detailed!

Cd21 here and yet another high - I posted a pic of my sticks on another thread and I may have ovulated around day 16 and CBFM missed it - I hope so as fed up of dtd this month , will continue testing though in case the peak is still yet to come. If I did ovulate on cd16 hopefully we have it covered as we dtd cd11,13,15,18(am) and 21(am).

Won't see DH until Sunday afternoon now so almost hoping the peak doesn't come.

Every other day plan makes sense Newbie. That is what I was told. Regular sex but not necessarily every day is the way forward x

Thanks Foxtrot, sure! Just checked on my monitor my readings/bd diary were:

Monitor requested sticks from day 10 - 21

CD10 - low
CD11 - low
CD12 - low
CD13 - low
CD14 - high
CD15 - high - BD (evening)
CD16 - high - BD (evening)
CD17 - high
CD18 - high - BD (morning)
CD19- peak!
CD20 - peak - BD (afternoon)
CD21 - high
CD22 - low
CD23 - low - nipples on high-beam
CD24 - low - nipples on high-beam
CD25 - low - fluttering in stomach, nipples on high-beam and bit sore
CD26 - low - sore nipples
CD27 - low - brief sharp pains, sore and hard nipples
CD28 - earliest that AF due, no AF - implantation discharge - test BFN
CD29 - implantation discharge, nipples much better
CD30 - pregnancy test BFN
CD31 - latest that AF would be due - pregnancy test BFP on monitor and Clearblue Digital and Tesco test!!!
CD32 - more discharge, second Tesco test, still BFP!

Hope this helps. I was frantically searching the internet for similar information on symptoms, late ovulation, monitor info....if I ovulated on second peak day then I was DPO11 when I got BFP. If I ovulated later, I was DPO or less. xx

Hi

I'm using the monitor but so far no luck so if not preggars this month am going to try the every other day plan from day 10 to day 20 although have to say the thought of all that sex is not appealing! How bad is that, an just too tired!! X

I am with you now re the less sex. The monitor worked for me last month re highs and peaks, but sadly no bfp yet. Hoping it works again this month and the swimmers get there

congrats on the bfps! It gives me hope. I'm on cd38 (recently have been 36 day cycles ) but tested negative twice so not optimistic for this month. Hoping the cbfm will work for me next month. My 19 consecutive high days was pointless. I bought this to have less sex! (oh god that looks awful written down)

Hey newbie, interesting do u go by the cbfm or ignore and go eod?

Hi all,

Congrats to the BFP's, v jealous!!!!

Wanted to pass on some advice my homeopathic doc gave me in case it helps, she said to DTD every other day from day 10 to day 20 of your cycle to maximise your chances? This only works for women with regular cycles but if I'm not preggars this month am def going to try it!

X

Congrats croon can you give us your stats of when/how many high readings and on what days you dtd please??

Day 19 and yet another high - got peak at day 20 last month so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

So far dtd 11,13,15 and 18

Thanks pie and mash and croon congrats. Cd 5 here I think af is now buggering off. I am opsonise tired today if I hadn't had af I would swear I was preg, but here is to another month of trying hopefully month 2 on cbfm will b the one xx

Congratulations to you too pieand mashed!

Thanks guys . Still in absolute shock as this was our first month of trying. Have just done a clearblue digital test and it has come up with 'pregnant 1-2 weeks'. So v early days but I think 3 tests confirm it! Would recommend sticking with monitor - without it, I would have assumed ovulation at CD13/14/15 - would never have thought CD20. Thought my machine was on the blink. X

Congrats croon979 - yey!!!

Thanks girls early days yet...
Haven't used he cbfm very long at all, since end of June. Quite surprised, had settled in for the long haul.

At first we tried eod during the highs and both peaks, but then it dwindled massively after that as it was starting to feel like a bit of a chore, which was then putting pressure on dh, so I tried to make sure we managed at least one of the peak days and the odd high day, so the odds weren't brilliant at all but had heard that eod is best for higher quality swimmers but it's probably down to what suits you both in the process. I think it's hard for the fellas that it's not instant and then they add pressure on themselves...

Ladyboluna maybe its a month where you haven't ov'd? Apparently there's at least one month where you don't in a year but I can't back that up with where I read that....

Wow! 2 BFPs in 2 days . That's fan news guys....really pleased for you both- hopefully this is a good omen and we'll have a few more in October.

Hi Ladies,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been away on holiday and also mad busy at work.
little exciting update for you - I got my bfp today - I think I am in actual shock!
Basically, I really believe that I would have struggled to get this so quickly without the monitor, which I think is amazing. Just in case my story helps anyone on here, it turns out that i ovulate fairly late in my cycle. I have cycles that vary between 28-31 days. I ovulated this month around day 20. The monitor gave me high days on 14-18 and peak days 19 and 20. I have felt fine, the only wierd thing has been that my nipples have been embarassingly on full beam for a week or so, although they have calmed down now. Other than that no other symptoms. About three days ago I noticed that I had a pinky brown discharge when i wiped (sorry if TMI), so I assumed that this was the beginning of AF. However, AF never came. The discharge continued on and off for 2 days and only when wiping. I tested on CD30 and it came out negative. I am now CD33 today and tested this morning and the monitor said I was pregnant! I checked with a Tesco test and also got two pink lines (one was very faint). Therefore, I think that the brown discharge that I had was actually implantation bleeding which was quite late due to my late ovulation. I am not counting my chickens yet and I have bought a posh digital test with weeks counter for me to use later.
Anyway, don't give up hope ladies, the monitor worked for me apparently!
Big baby dust to you all xx

Congrats pie

Hey ladies congrats pie and mash. How long have u been using the cbfm? And did u dtd eod on high and each peak if u don't mind me asking?

Cycle 2 on cbfm about to start here. Currently cd4, sticks needed from cd9 onwards.

Well, I did a test about 3 days before AF was due, BFN.. Then no sign of AF 3 days after due and got the bfp. Being a crazy person, I tried to take another as confirmation and that came up as an error, which the instructions said was because I'd already done the test for this cycle. All within the AM testing window too.. Just so no one else wastes a bunch of the pg sticks like I did

Have double checked with first response for sanity reasons and several clearblue non digis. Highly recommend those rather than Lloyds Pharmacy own as took 4 of those when the cbfm one wouldn't do a repeat and they all came up bfn, despite saying early detection on box.. Could have done without that but now 100% sure with the better brand name tests

I hope this helps or boosts people, I think the monitor did help me as dh works like a demon and couldn't manage every day or eod during what seemed like quite a long high bit before and after peak days

I'm not sure....to be honest I do think my cycles are all over the place so it doesn't surprise me that o is not regular,plus I've been REALLY stressed this month. I'm not sure tho, 17 days of high is not really what it's sold on is it??

Another day.... Another High.....

chunder do you trust it? I'm not convinced I do and at £90 + sticks it's not a good place to be in. I'm tempted to get some IC opk or even try to start temping but just don't know if that would stress/worry/confuse me more if it all disagreed with each other - what the hell do you trust??

The reason for getting CBFM was to be able to target dtd. DH and I are/were not frequent dtd ers and so far it has not helped at all.

Anyone want to join me in the queue for a refund?!?

Well I just got my peak....cd27...WTAF??!

Yes...I could test...AF is not due for over a week though!
