I've ordered it today as today is 12th month of trying after having AF. Has anyone used it or interested in using it? I like how it works it all out for you as I don't want to spend all that time stressing over learning how to chart myself. You poas when it tells you and insert the stick into the machine and it interprets it for you. Gives you a few high chance days and then the lh surge days. Measures oestrogen and lh. Also can test for pregnancy. You can input when you dtd too and a light and alarm can remind you.

I really like gadgets and technology anyway. If it works I don't care how much it costs. Anyone have any experience with it already? I don't think it's been put long.

Well day 16 now and it's no longer asking for tests, just automatically sai

Sorry had a phone call - it said high so I guess I'm on the 2ww.

I hope we see our first bfp this month!

The monitor automatically gives a second peak and then a high and then low after giving the first peak reading. It pretty much stops reading the sticks after your peak day.

I also read yesterday that you get a High when the machine detects a change in oestrogen, then it stops monitoring oestrogen and looks out for LH instead. If it doesn't detect LH ( as in my case this cycle) it carries on asking for sticks and giving Highs until it's had 20 sticks.

Ah I see sebs, my guess was right then. So I guess some cycles us ladies don't even ovulate?

It did ask for a stick after my first peak for me, and then after that it hasn't asked again. Which was annoying this morning as I was on a night shift all night and held my wee for 5-6 hours so that it'll be close enough to normal wee after sleeping (my window was set to the morning as I was mostly on a day pattern).

Well they say that it's fairly common to have one anovolatory cycle a year. As I am nearly 40 I suspect nearly every cycle is a dud to be honest.

Many people offer the machine old sticks once they get a peak do they can save money. I will be going this now as I've gleaned enough info for this cycle and I'm pretty sure I'm in the 2ww now going from my CM.

Day 13 and still low. Gah! Paranoia starting to creep in, even though I have long cycles and logically know I must ov late....

I hope you don't mind me joining in.
I am new, both to TTC, the site and CBFM, so just trying to learn as much as I can!
I am 35 and we are trying for baby #1.
I am on my first month of using the CBFM (advanced) and so far it seems to be working as expected. However, I am only on day 12. I have regular cycles of 28 days so I am hoping for a peak in the next couple of days. The CBFM asked me to test from Day 6, I got low readings for 3 days and have had high readings from day 9. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much for a peak as i know that the first month the monitor is sussing you out but it would be very exciting to know for definite when i am ovulating. It must be v exciting DTD knowing that tere is a chance you can get pg.
Anyway, that is me. Best of luck to all those trying.
Would be lovely to be pg by Christmas :) x

Hi croon how long have you been trying? Fingers crossed for bfps by xmas!

Hi Chunder - we have only been actively trying for a month so (I have been off the pill for a year but we have been very careful in this time as I wanted to get married before getting pg) we are very new to the whole process. Bought CBFM though as due to my age, I wanted to get on it as soon as I could :)

Welcome croon! You should get your peak soon, I got mine on cd14 so I'm sure you'll get yours soon.

chunder The sticks aren't fool proof. It might just randomly say peak tomorrow or the day after.

Thanks Ladyboluna! cd13 and still on a high reading, which is as expected. Fingers crossed for a peak soon!

Hey all....glad you guys are getting highs/peaks. Fx for a bfp this month! I am on cd14 and still reading low....I guess this makes sense as my average cycle length is 32.5 days so expect I ov around day 20....hoping for a high soon!

fingers crossed you get a high soon Chundercat.
day14 and still on a high - that will be my 5th high day. no peak yet!

Hi croon cd15 and still low....I shouldn't be freaking out yet due to longish cycles but AAAARRRGGGHHHH! FX fir your peak

Hi croon and chandler, fingers crossed for u both. I order my cbfm today will arrive tomoz. Praying that this cycle I get my bfp but if I don't I have it. I'm hoping Sod's law will now kick in and give me a bfp. Day 19 here.xx

I've got at least one more week left until AF is due... luckily the CBFM will tell me when I can do a test, however as for the first cycle it's gonna assume I'm on a 28 day cycle (mine are actually 26) I'll test when it tells me I have 2 days left until AF. I think it starts accepting tests when you've got 4 days left until it's due.

Hi ladies. I am currently in the 2ww but have bought a advanced CBFM in anticipation. We've been ttc #2 for about 15 months now (took 7 with #1). We've just stared having fertility investigations to check everything but fx all is well. After buying the monitor I got an email to say I've been accepted onto the new CB ovulation trial so looks like I'll be peeing on a lot of sticks next cycle! It'll be interesting to see if they correlate. Good luck to everyone

Good luck incacola, I hope all goes well for you, mine arrived today hoping not to use it and that bfp arrives next wk but this is back up plan

Hey sunbathing know you from August bus, let's hope we get to stay aboard this and don't need 1 :-)

For sure, I hope u don't leave it either I am officially going mental symptom spotting in the tww, y is this so hard. Every symptom is also a sign of af gggrrrrrrr

Hi new posters...good to have you on board FX for BFPs for everyone soon! Cycle 8 for me TTC, cycle 1 with cbfm, cd 15, STILL LOW! Trying not to freak....wine tonight!

Can I join? Ordered a CBFM today. AF arrived earlier than anticipated (cycles all over the place after mc) so first test will be day 3. I'm hoping that will be ok.
