Clearblue Fertility Monitor users!

hi girls
just thought i would po in to say hello hope ur all doin well with ur monitors, i check most days see if there is any bfp but im sure your time will come soon, so keep ur chins up xxxx merry xmas hope u have a good one and make the most of the drinking x

Oh good so I am not too odd then!

Will have to hunt it out! Hopefully it wont make a difference as it's just a non-testing day

Yep - I got 2 peaks both months, followed by a high and then a low.

KitKat find your instruction pamflet there is a way you can move it forward. I can't remember how but I do remember reading about it.

I got Peak again today - 2 days in a row?!

So 1 high 2 Peaks!

Aaaargh! forgot to press the button today!! It's a LOW non-testing day - but does this mean the monitor will be a day behind now??!

5th cycle and we have had all the same worries. Still its a fun time of year and I don't want to look back on it and see myself as miserable... just need to get on with it and enjoy our free time freedom while it lasts!

Thanks hon - appreciate the grumpy hugs!! This is only our 3rd cycle so I really shouldn't feel too disheartened yet, it's just that it's so frustrating! All the elements seem to be in place and we appear to being doing it at the right time - so I cant work out why it's not happening . You cant help but worry that there might be something wrong with one of us...

I will definitely be having a boozy new year if I get a BFN this month!!

Oh KitKat it is hard. We are going to try and keep going this month in case we have been stopping too early!

After BFNs I got really down a couple of weeks ago. It does start to feel impossible and make you wonder how anyone gets BFP.

I am trying to think of fun things I can do if BFN at Christmas. Naughty cocktails and nights out to cheer me up.

Sounds like you got BFP at the right time so fingers crossed and big grumpy hugs

I normally test about 6.30am during the week, and then about 7.30/8am on weekends?

I?m currently 6dpo ? we managed to BD days 12, 14 and 15 ? I?m pretty sure I ov?d on CD15 (peak reading and ov pains). Not feeling lucky this month though? feel like we should have done it on cd16 and 17 as well, just to be sure! We were spot on with timing last month too ? but nada! Just feeling a bit grumpy and fed up ? tired of thinking about TTC ALL the time!! Just want to enjoy Christmas and forget about it for a while?

Sorry, that sounds so grumpy!! I?m feeling much happier than I sound ? honest!

I got such bad OV pains yesterday I had to have a hot water bottle... that's never happened before!

What time of day do you test? I've copied a link to my chart as it shows the CBFM readings.

How are you getting on? Feeling low, med or high.. good day/ average day/ great day?

Umm - I had 2 PEAKS, another HIGH and then a LOW... do you get ov pains at all?

KitKat I am CD19 after my only high yesterday I got Peak today! Two days later than previous months OV time. Annoyingly we are both out tonight but have been at it the last fews days so fingers crossed

What happened after you got Peak?

AF due Christmas day!

Fingers very crossed Sparkly! What CD are you? (I had several highs before I got my 2 peaks...)

Hey everyone got my first High day! So I think I might get peak tomorrow.... when both of us are out aaargh

There is also a definite faint second line on the stick so that must be how the CBM reads it!

OPK and EWCM today so fingers crossed!

Thanks Artoo - I obviously just imagined the whole thing!

I've never seen three bars without an egg. So the three possible readings are:

Low (1 bar)
High (2 bars)
Peak (3 bars with egg).

Hugs,
Artoo.

I had a look on their website and it seems to be just 3 readings of low, peak and high. I must have imagined the 3 bars with no egg symbol!! Let me know what type of readings you get? If you do get 3 bars and no egg, then at least I know I'm not losing my mind!

How are you and your DH this morning? Sorry to hear you had a row about BD. How much do you talk to him about TTC? I hardly tell mine anything - good in one way, in that he doesn't have to know all the details, so feels less like a performing seal!! But when I do get upset about stuff, he doesnt understand where it's all coming from...difficult balance really.

Hey KitKat I haven't got that far with it yet but after the weekend I should know. Do you still have your guice thingy that might have it.
How are you getting on this month?

Hmmm...I've confused myself now!! Does 2 bars on the indicator count as medium or high?? For some reason I had it in my head that:

1 bar = low
2 bars = medium
3 bars = high
3 bars + egg symbol = peak

Is this right??? Looking on the CBFM website, I don't think you can get 3 bars without an egg symbol...? Which would mean:

1 bar = low
2 bars = high
3 bars + egg symbol = peak

Any ideas anyone?!?

By LOWS I mean 2 bars on the indicator...

Hi both

endless I think 7dpo is waaaay too early. Best to leave it until after AF is due I think hon. I think GPs recommend that you wait until 5 days after AF is due... impossible I know!!

Hey sparkly - my 1st month I got highs days 12 - 17, peaks on 18 and 19, and then another high on CD20. This month - month 2 - I'm still getting lows on CD14!!! Who knows...got some EWCM on CD12 so I'm hoping for some highs/peaks soon! What CD are you on?

Hello there. Just an update. Feeling so unpregnant so don't think this month is such a lucky one for me. Will be testing on Saturday morning. However, yesterday I did a test (why oh why???! I just couldn't help myself!) and it was of course BFN. I was 7 DPO so don't think it would have showed up pregancy would it?

Good luck everyone.
xx

So low again which is no surprise. When (hopefully) I start to get medium/ high or peak how many days of this should I expect to get?

Yes it took me a while to work out one end is way easier to open than the other. I started laying it out open the night before for quick pee access My temps look better this month so I am hopeful this could be the one but it's early days.
