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.

Peak day 2 here, waiting to see if high tomoz. Monitor want tests for another 8 days surely I will move to low soon after ovulation?

Apparently the machine asks for tests in batches of 10, so if you are over that when peak come it will continue until 20 sticks have been tested. I just put the same test stick in day after day.

Hmm interesting, I think I'm going to do it per the instructions this time just so it gets to know me but will watch for that

I'm going to use the same test stick after peak is detected too next month I think.

Thanks katybear, AF is here but I have a lot going in in the land of ladyb so haven't thought about it too much. Booked GP as a joint appointment so we can both get the ball rolling for tests, we have the same GP.

Mine has asked for sticks for 19 days now. I only have one left. Do they ever ask for more than 20?

(btw I have had 18 consecutive highs now, bit disappointed but will give it another month)

Ah glad u have things going on to distract u ladyb
Now what I don't know re sticks as only on cd 18 cycle 1. Maybe 1 of the other ladies will know

Morning Ladies, I am in a bit of dire straits

The sticks are really hard to find where I live and out of all the pharmacies we have only one stocks them and the majority of the times they are out of stock, so I usually order them from Play.com as Amazon doesn't ship them where I live. As I only had enough sticks for this cycle I made an order last week and now I have been told that they are unable to ship them as they are out of stock

My question is, can I use sticks for the older version of the monitor with the Advanced one?

I don't know curly have you tried ringing the clearblue people to ask?

nowwhat - according to the Q&A with clearblue yesterday, their spokeswoman said that the machine asks for sticks in batches of 10. So it will either ask for 10 or 20, nothing inbetween. She says you can save money by ignoring requests for sticks after a peak is detected.

Hi guys. After last months disappearing bfp I've been lurking deciding whether to use cbfm again. Couldn't resist the opportunity to poas everyday so I'm back.
Think I might have missed ov though. Had high today and yesterday but had lots of ewcm last night (sorry tmi)- DP isn't home until tomorrow evening. Hopefully I get a peak tomorrow but what do you think? Is it likely that ov happened at the same time as ewcm?
I tried my best to convince DP that he fancied a 200 mile round trip to come and dtd tonight but oddly enough he didn't go for it- damn!

You can order the sticks from boots online if you are in the uk? Or I guess you could get someone in the uk or elsewhere to buy them and post to you? You can only use the advanced ones in the advanced monitor but can use either in the other one.

Hi whata glad to see u bk wondered if u were ok. Re ewcm and peaks, I have only used cbfm this month and I also took epo from day 1 - peak. I had ewcm on day 1 peak, yesterday 2 nod day peak no ewcm just water cm. today a high and v little cm water/ creamy. Not sure it that helps

Thanks Katy , that is useful. I got high again today but the second line has appeared on the stick so the LH surge must have happened/be happening. As you had ewcm on the same day as peak, which sounds right I suspect that I've just missed ov and that the stick has noticed the tail end of it today. Ho hum, I'll grab DP when he gets home just in case. Good luck to you- exciting to get peak isn't it! X

It sure is exciting I danced round my room!! He he. Cd 20 here and bk to lie I'm in the tww

Hi all,

Got my high today on cd11, only have 4 tests left though so hoping peak comes soon! Good luck all x

Cycle 2 with CBFM and stick peed on as requested today (cd9). A high..... is it bad to say that I wanted to see a low?? I had 14 high readings before peak last cycle so this month we are pacing ourselves. No dtd until at least day 11/12 unless the machine tells me otherwise.

It's so romantic isn't it?!??!

Hi foxtrot I feel ur pain does take romance away. Cd22 here bk to low again have been since cd20, so I'm in the tww. Nothing more to do now but wait!!

Hi all, glad to hear of the highs and peaks...I am having almost the opposite to last month-it cd21 now and I've had highs since cd14, no peak yet...hoping will get peak tomorrow or Tuesday. DH is away tomorrow again tho may have to do some early morning DTD if I get my peak. Things are a bit quieter in normal life now thank goodness but am feeling so desperate lately about TTC. Am trying to be more positive but it's just so hard

Hi guys, weirdly got a peak today, was so sure I had missed it this month. All other signs were pointing to weds or Thursday having been ov time. More dtd tonight then, poor DP thought he was having a night off.

Oh chunder, hopefully all that dtd up to now will do the trick. Ttc seems so easy until you start doesn't it x

Hi, ha! Know that feeling!! Well got high yest so DTD and then got peak today! I'm gonna be shattered!!! Fun has def gone out it now! Bad me! X

Hi ladies cd23 here, been low since cd 20, it wants 2 more sticks and I guess then it will ask for a preg test or af will arrive. No idea what to think this cycle it was great to get a peak and that made me really hopeful and we dtd both peak days and 2 of the 5 high days so we will see. No idea if to early for signs at 5 dpo but no cm at all and lots of ladies seem to have creamy cm before they find out so I guess that's not a good sign :-(

Quick q for those using the monitor, in cycle 1 if u got a peak does the cbfm tell u when to do a preg test? I have 2 more fertility tests left to go taking me to cd25 assume it won't ask for more then, but does it then kick in to estimate when af if due?

No, it doesn't ask for pg tests. Just test when you want to

Thanks chunder. Interesting I would have assumed it would thanks for the heads up

Right, question for you all!

Got my high day before yest, yest got a peak and today was also a peak BUT I also tested on a normal CB digi test today and got an empty circle So.....does the monitor automatically give you 2 peaks when it first gets a peak or is one of them wrong? So confused!!!! X

newbie after your first peak you will automatically get another peak, then a high then back to low. It's frustrating as it's not actually reading the sticks and you may as well just put the same stick in (which is what I did) to save on them.
