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.

It's good that you've got discharge it's personal preference I guess. If it were me I'd prob start tomorrow when get high but that's only as oh gets worn out but if you can manage today start now just in case ;)

How did you get on ladyb did AF show?

How about everyone else? Anyone got a peak yet?

CD10 for me and it's a high reading but it's been high since first day of testing on cd6. Hopefully I will peak in the next few days. Dtd every other day so fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed fox trot. Af for me today and only stopped cyclogest last night so that was quick though monitor predicted it today. Hope I can still get fsh test done day 4!

Hi

Got my peak today so it seems to have gone from low to peak straight away, is that normal as I thought you got a high before a peak?

Thanks

I think it must vary newbie, as most of the posters on here day you get 4 highs followed by 2 peaks then it sols asking for tests and automatically days high. ... but I got 1 high, 2 peaks followed by 1 high then 2 lows and it has only just stopped asking for tests. .. maybe it'll straighten out next month, or maybe I have a short luteal surge...

Wow, terrible spelling! Sorry! Sure you get my drift though

Thank you! It's my first month using it so will see what happens! x

Hi all can I join this thread too? Just started using my CBFM this cycle, I'm on day 9 and got my first high yesterday which was unexpected and exciting! Especially as I had told DH it would be a few more days before he would be called upon to dtd :) My fertility app that I had been using before says my fertile period wouldn't start until CD13 so the CBFM is already giving me some quite different results, I'm really hoping it will do the trick!

Hey Lucy, I'm hoping to join u guys soon on cd30 here cycles r a mess since coming off pill! Will watch with interest to see what happens for u all.

Were any of u recently on pill?

Got another peak today and my only worry is I've gone from low to peak with no highs and monitor seems to be in tune with timings I've used before! Stupidly I kind of hoped it would give me highs/peaks at a different time to precious months as then I thought I might stand a better chance of a BFP this month. Time will tell x

Hi all, I've been busy so been unable to go on here. Just a quick message to say that AF arrived late on Saturday :( on to a new cycle though, but I think I may go to the GP to see if that can give me any answers as it's really bringing me down each month now.

2nd cycle it's asking for tests starting day 7, but I'm sure that it askes for tests on day 6 last time.

Hey ladyb I think the monitor calibrates itself to your cycle info so it will be asking for fewer test sticks, with the ones it does ask for centred around the time you ovulate- should save you some £££ on sticks

How is everyone else getting on? I am well into the 2ww now and manically symptom spotting, have had some cramping and this am woke up with weird acne over my chin and lower face-almost like pinprick/heat rash....fingers xd, although after convincing myself I am preform and being wrong for 8 months in a row who knows

Hi all

So I went from low to peak, got a peak for 2 days then a high today so noticed monitor isn't wanting me to test tomorrow so am I now just waiting for it to tell me to test for pregnancy?

Keep thinking I must be weird to go from low to peak then high???

Good luck all!

CD 13 here and had all highs so far. Not sure I will get a peak or if I can persuade DH to keep dtd done days 8,10 and 12 and hope to hit 14 too. Should ovulate now, but cycles still messed up after mc.

FFS another high reading here, 9 days in a row now. DH is refusing to dtd stating tiredness so hoping it has missed peak and we've done enough this month.

How's everyone else getting on - should I keep feeding the machine sticks??

Keep going fox, it might be that the shifts in your hormones are subtler than others- the machine will use this month to get to know you and should be more accurate next month...don't lose heart!

Hi ladies just popping in to say hi, I think af may just have arrived so will join u properly soon if so. Keep going fox I reckon this might b ur lucky 1.

Help my cbfm is being weird. I got high on days 15, 16,,17 peak on 18 and 19, missed 20, low on 21 missed 22, low day 23, missed 24. Now it's saying don't forget to test tomorrow which is cd25. Surely it should stop asking for sticks now that the high and peak is over. Is this because I missed some days? I didn't get there on time on day 20 and then decided not to give it sticks on the others I've missed as they are so bloody expensive. Have I messed up its calibrating thing as this was my first cycle using it?

Also- where is best to buy sticks from? I got them from boots this time but it has used up lots!

what I would just put old news in until it stops asking! at least you are not wasting any that way

Ok thanks, I'll use one in the morning then keep using it, must think of some where to hide it from DP.

Think I am 9dpo today and am wondering when I can test. I know the instructions say 4 days before period is due but as I am on first cycle it doesn't know what my literal phase is....I presume it will just assume 14 days for the first month so I could test tomorrow? Any experience here anyone?

CD15 and another high, although only one line on stick today where as yesterday there were two and there were feint second lines the few days before. So hoping I've ovulated around 13-14. Will continue to feed it with sticks as it requests them as it is my first cycle. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'pissing money down the drain'!

No idea on testing chunder But I think I've read somewhere that the machine will tell you when you can test

Ah ok fox... Re the lines, one is esterogen and one is for lutenising hormone. I think when you esterogen rises (first line) you get your high, then your peak would come with your lh surge/fall in esterogen. When I got a high both lines were similar in intensity and when I got my peak the lh line was darker, so it sounds like the monitor has missed your peak if they are now both fading. It's positive that you've seen the changes though, hopefully you'll get a peak next month
