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.

Hi all dumb question when do u count day 1. Is it the first day of spotting or or flow?

First day of full flow before lunchtime

Excellent thanks

Hey ladies just thought I would check in. First month of using the cbfm and I'm now cd14. I have had highs every day since cd8 and no peak yet so I am slightly impatient! Been trying to read the lines even though you're not supposed to, at the moment I seem to have two faint lines but a couple of days ago I only had 1 so at least something is happening!

The good news is the cbfm is def helping with regular dtd as both me and dh are making much more effort this month. Fx!

CD 17 here and still high readings!

Hi ladies so spotting turned into what I think is af, it's v light but it's red and has been for last 2 days so put details into cbfm. It's calling this day 1 for me I guess because of time af arrived.its now asking for stick 1 day 6 and telling me it will keep asking for 10 days. I'm guessing this is normal? Do u guys then shoot for eod on highs and every day on peaks?

Is it your first month using the monitor Katy? It was first month this month and I got loads of lows followed by one high, two peaks then a high. DH was away for the second peak and high so we just did it on the first peak and high. If AF gets me I reckon we'll try and do it every high and peak day....depends how many we get though and how tired we get! Definitely every peak day though!

Hi Katy it's my first month using it and it has given me high every day since cd8, now cd15. We've dtd eod on the highs, couldn't do every day for so many days! If I get peak we will dtd every peak day.

And just to warn you you might need more than 10 sticks on the first month, I've just used my 10th and it still wants me to test tomorrow and presumably will until I get a peak or I've used 20 and it's obviously missed peak. Think its quite normal to not have peak on first month of using it.

After opinions actually ladies... I am now on cd32, usually have a 32-33 day cycle but can be 28-39 days...this month I got my first peak on cd21 so guessing as of tomorrow (cd33) I will be 12dpo. Monitor hasn't asked for a pg test yet though.... does it ask? Or should I go ahead and just test?

Hey chander yep this is first cycle using it. Cycle 4 off pill. Honestly thought I would fall immediately (naive I know) so decided time for more science.

Lucy I have 20 sticks at the mo so should b ok for this cycle. Will go for eod on high and ed on peak assuming I get some.

2 quick q's 1- do u guys temp to? 2- it says use urine after longest sleep. I'm going to b on hen do Fri night and sat night so not sure when will get my longest sleep I almost always wake up at 4 ish to wee so will normally just save that and test in morning. Not sure what to do at hen do maybe will save my wees each time. - grr bad timing

Hi ladies,

I hope you don't mind me joining in. This is my first post! I'm not up to speed on all the abbreviations, so bear with me!

Been TTC for 4 months since diagnosed with PCOS at age 31. Been charting bbt since then to see if I got peaks, which I have but my temp is very erratic. Cycles can be anywhere between 26 and 56 days. Sometimes have cm, sometimes not. So bought this piece of kit and an now on cd19. Had lows from cd6 to cd14 then highs on cd15 and cd16. Peaks on cd17 and cd18. Low today on cd19.

I must admit, with the likelihood of me not ovulating with the PCOS but this little beauty telling me my hormones seem to be working, CBFM has been worth every penny!

I have my fingers and toes crossed for everyone!

Hey otter welcome. I'm cd2 according to cbfm tests cd 6 for first time. Excited and scared. How r u finding using fmu? I wake most days about 4 so think I'm going to have to get used to pea'ing in a cup!

Great news on your ovulation otter fx for your bfp.

So I took a pg test this morning and the monitor said not pg, however there is definitely a second line (absolute squinter but it's there) if it was a normal pg test I'd be celebrating but I think these tests must work a little differently so am fully expecting AF to arrive

Hey Katie. The manual says to poas for your fmu and then keep it until your test window. So I've done that a couple of times as we went away and flew at silly o clock. I got blasé about it all, thinking I'd never see a high or peak. It shocked me when I saw it! Don't be scared, you're just arming yourself with knowledge about your workings. That's how I see it anyway!

Chunder I haven't tried a pg test yet, so I don't know what to say for that. Two lines must be good though? Maybe give it another few days? Fx!

Thanks otter I'm excited to but the though of waking a checking time and then peeing isn't filling me with joy

Cd20 and have got a peak - last dtd on CD14 thinking it has missed peak. Have no clue what has happened to my cycles since mc except they are all messed up.

Hey fox, hope u managed to dtd and at least u have the cbfm to tell u when u have a peak :-)

Hi all. AF got me she's a bitch this month too! Wine and chocolate now. Good luck all

Poo what a cow! Was this ur first cycle chunder and did u get a peak?

Yes, first cycle, I got loads of lows, one high, two peaks, a high, then lows again. DH was away from the first peak

Poo, and did it manage the cycle u thought u had? Great work on the peaks :-)

Big hugs Chunder. Next time.

I'm controlling myself and not poas cos I'm scared of the bfn! Will try and wait for af to appear.

I'm also reusing an old fertility stick as I think it's a waste of money to carry on poas once you've gone low after your peak!

Morning day day 1 of pissing on stick and feeling v nervous cbfm currently analysing results as we speak. Hope I get used to this!

Morning guys.
Has anyone had a false positive using cbfm?
Got a bfp yesterday on cbfm- yay! Went and bought a digi thinking it would be nice to double confirm it- bfn. But then it was not fmu so I wasn't worried.
This morning tested again with cbfm- bfn, same on digi! Whaaat!
Have no idea what this means. Was the cbfm wrong yesterday? Was it chemical and the level has dropped overnight so now monitor doesn't pick it up? Can you just not test two days in a row on cbfm?
Going a bit mad, pregnant or not?

I called the helpline, most unhelpful and now waiting for 'product specialist' to call back. The monitor said bfn refer to instructions, instructions said call helpline, helpline said no idea. I suspect they are going to say wait a few days and either af or something similar will turn up or test again. So tempted to go and buy a load of hpts but know that's daft. Aarrrggghh!

Hey what, I haven't used the cbfm for this yest as only asked for first stick today. I would go buy a first response they seem to be able to pick up preg info eraliest
