Highs but no peak on cbfm and dtd on wrong days, any chance for me this month?

Used cbfm successfully last time but this time I have had highs from day 12 but no peak so far (day 17) and the second line has gone on the cbfm sticks today so not sure why I'm still getting a high.

CM so I think we must have missed Ov this month which seems weird or could it be this late (but why no CM?)

DTD 10, 11, 14 and 15 iirc so we prob missed best days didn't we (28 day cycle).

Anyone else not get a peak on cbfm?

My understanding is that no peak means that you haven't ovulated. High means that your oestrogen has risen in preparation for ovulation, but ovulation doesn't always occur. Peak means that your progesterone has risen, which is caused by ovulation. So you could you pg, but unlikely I think.

I tried CBFM for a few cycles and it didn't work for me - it failed to identify my peak fertility days even though I had blood tests that confirmed I had ovulated.

OPKs and fertility monitors are not 100% accurate so I would not rely on them wholly.

Sorry my OP meant to say that I did get CM so was confused about whether or not I ov'ed.

Strange about the lack of peak, I wonder if the machine needs to get used to my cycle again or if it's not going to work for me anymore.
