CBFM - no 'high', straight to 'peak'

Is it the first couple of months that you are using it? It can take a while to get to know your hormone patterns. Give it another try next month and hopefully you'll get a couple of high days first (I had the opposite problem with it, it gave me too many highs, more days than I could have actually been fertile, but it did improve over a couple of months)

The most important thing is that it identified a peak really. But if you consistently don't get high days then it isn't any better than cheapo sticks.

Hi Kit - thanks for your reply. Yes - hear plenty of examples of lots of high days as it gets to know you... Hope it's behaving for you now.

Second month of CBFM for me. Last month I got one high before the peak on cd11. Have used pee stix (also CB) and was getting a clear positive around cd12, so perhaps should have just stuck with them or even tried the cheapos.

This month it's cd13 and straight to peak... At least I'm getting peaks though. Clearly an LH surge happening!

I'm just 40 (ttc 2 after an easy time of it 2 years ago) and wonder if I don't get a high because your fertile window shrinks as you get older... Sad

We also have a poor sperm count so it's looking a bit unlikely all round really, but we need to identify the day of ov if we are going to get up the diff any time soon. Thought CBFM would be our best bet....

Good luck with yours and hope you get/already have your BFP!
