Clearblue fertility monitor experiences

Hi, i have just started using the clear blue fertility monitor and would like to know if others experiences. I started getting a high reading 3 days ago and still haven’t got the peak?

Hi I used this and got positive on 3rd cycle. I dispared for the first two months as I kept getting high readings but no peak. Learned a great tip here on mums net. Don't pee on the stick too long. Check the instruction I think it's only 3 seconds. It is very easy to confuse the machine otherwise. Got my peak for the first time and that was the month I got preggers. My son is now 12 weeks old. Good luck!!!

Oh. Would recommend using cheaper testers leading up to you high days and save the clear blue ones for around the peak as they are expensive!!

I used this for two cycles and never got a peak (tracked ovulation with temping instead). Not using it this month

@Iamnotacerealkiller and @juneybean thank you very much for sharing. Yeah I have been trying to make sure I don’t do it for too long.

I'm due in a week and a half...does that answer your question? Grin
4yrs of trying, nothing. Bought three months supply of clear blue, still have a month left. Sounds like I may have been lucky.

Got upduffed on first cycle with CBM on DC1. TTC DC2 for past 7m and not a hint of a BFP. Get peaks every month.

I can't really remember how it works tbh but I used it and found it got better the longer I used it. I was using it to do chemical free birth control so I could have a few months (start of August - end of December) off the pill etc before actually ttc.

First month of using the monitor again as trying for baby number two, had days of low then 2 days of peak and one day of high. Got pregnant with my son using it nearly two years ago. Two week wait nearly up, going to test Mon/Tues hoping for bfp. X

PolkaDottyBear · 28/04/2018 22:42

Didn’t work for me. Never got peak days ever !

Essexgirlupnorth · 28/04/2018 22:51

How long are you cycles? I had never had a peak till last month as found I was ovulating much later than I thought. Have found my period tracking app more accurate. Last cycle was using eBay cheapies as was going through a while like box of tests with my clear blue which was getting expensive. I have found taking a sample in a pot and dipping the test in easier

@essexgirlupnorth my cycles are still a bit different as I came off the pill in January

Got the monitor after ttc for six months. First month of using it got highs but no peaks. Second month got my peak on day 9 of what was a 30-day+ cycle so had obviously been missing it when trying ourselves as it was so early compared to what I expected. Got my BFP for DD1 a few weeks later.

When ttc again for DD2 we went straight onto the monitor and got pregnant on my second month using it (again, no peaks in month 1).

I know it's expensive but for me it was totally worth it.

Cakelaur · 28/04/2018 23:00

You may not get peaks the first month. Is it the advanced monitor with the touch screen? Or the flashing smiley face one?
If it's the screen... I loved it. Got bfp 2nd cycle... sadly lost that baby, and then got bfp again 3rd month after. Love it!!

KatnissMellark · 28/04/2018 23:04

It told me when I was ovulating but did chuff all for DH duff sperm 😂

@cakelaur yeah it’s the touch screen monitor, has anyone had a peak on first month?

OP posts:
noseoftralee · 29/04/2018 08:26

Yep I did, peak + BFP in month 1.

(Not so for TTC #2 though 🙄)

Cakelaur · 29/04/2018 08:45

I had a peak every month I used it. It was a bit messed up after my mc... so I reset the machine and next month was fine. The first every month I did get about 9 highs then two peaks. Once you get a peak, you can stop testing as you will always get peak peak high

Buenavista · 29/04/2018 15:29

I used it and it worked for me both times. I think it worked best if you do one as early as it let’s you, about day 6 for me, and I temp charted too to double check

Help201602 · 29/04/2018 16:51

I started on monitor last month. Got peak on day 17, so later than I would of expected. Dtd every high day, two peak days and day after, 10 day stretch! Got my af when it predicted. So 2nd cycle using monitor this month, asked me to start testing in day 9 which was yesterday. I’m on 8th or 9th cycle of trying. Hope it works for you
