Anyone else using a clearblue fertility monitor?

[sarahkr]

I pee in a pot and test that way? I hold it in pointing downwards for 20 seconds in the urine put the cap on, put it in the machine and put the machine on a flat surface is that not right?
Well AF hasnt arrived BUT I have cramping although its very very light its still there which makes me think shes just around the corner *sigh*

i had cramping yesterdat, did an opk had a slight line, phoned andy woke this mornin on friggin LOW NOW..... oh i swear i'm gonna throw it throught the window!!!! did you do a test?????? xxxxx

 

[sarahkr]

I test the same way galaxy girl. I didn't realise it would make a difference how long the test was in the pot. This is my fourth month using the machine, this month I skipped a few of the days early on when it said to test and then began testing about day 11. Usually ovulate about day 14. Then will stop testing after two egg days. Trying to use about five tests per cycle as its so expensive for those tests. I get the tests from ebay now for about 20 pound. Shame they don't have a no baby= full refund policy on the monitors.

hey that would be great, a full refund for the headache too, wow this thing is confusing lol xx

Hey ladies,
Another reason for cbfm unreliable readings, as I found out this very morning.. is if the pee stick was not held in the urine just 3 secs.. I am sure I peaked this morning.. however, the blue dye got totally flooded as I think I held it somewhat longer.. sigh.. Will use OPK this afternoon to confirm... xx

hiya, i use a little cap? do you think that i should be testing in my stream too?? xxx

actually, you are doing very well to test with a cup instead. I always get clearer results if I use a cup! I will make sure I always use a cup going forward (15 secs)

i had a low today, ohh its actually changed, af due sunday ;( xxxxxx

You really have been missing out This thread is what keeps me going. Sarahk is great at cheering you up
No I havent tested yet because I just checked my diary (yes sad enough to keep a diary lol) and I was 3 days late last month so im thinking it could be the same again this time. If by 3 days AF still hasnt arrived then I will test but I just Know she is going to come. Erghhh

 

[Galaxy Girl]

Well that really is pants!! I have noticed alot of people using the CBFM also use OPKs to double check it so not sure if that is worth doing .. But again that is more bloody expense.
DH said I can spend what I like as long as Im not a grumpy cow But peeing in a pot everyday just seems crazy, its nice to be able to go for a wee in the toilet

How are you all today?

If you bought it brand new I wouldnt reset it as it could of been your month of the monitor 'getting to know you' So it may work better next cycle. If for what ever reason it doesnt then I would possibly reset it or failing that I would write to Clearblue and tell them you have a faulty product! Fingers xd the bloody thing works better next cycle for both of us, we can compare notes day by day

Ohh yeah good thinking. That MUST be what AF is waiting for
If it asks again tomorrow Just ignore it hun and it will do its own thing, I missed two during my cycle because it was the weekend and you have a time window of when you need to test and I had a lie in and missed it so it just done high for the 2 days that I missed. Save the new pack for when you start again because they say its best to use the same sticks from the same box so the monitor has no excuses for next time lol

)) hehe you are amazing! I am rolling with laughter reading your post!! "Grumpy cow" LMFAO )) I have to read that to OH.. he definitely totally shares your OH's opinion.. I have become obsessed with getting pregnant asap precisely due to the expense...! Yea it is nuts and pants and everything else I agree! ) That's exactly what I was thinking today. Why can't I just pee normally.. Not only that but if I desperately need to wee in the morning it just becomes so messy!! Gross!! Mind you, I prefer this to a blood test each day )) Btw does OvaCue work with saliva instead..

Peeing in a pot when your bursting is good for the pelvic floor muscles! I do get really grumpy I do feel for my DH at times specially when AF shows. But the spending of money helps because each month I can buy something new to try and feel positive again. Im waiting for a few more bits to come through the post that i can try out when this AF has come and gone.
I would just like the CBFM to work properly this month now I have actually reset it
Just browsed online for thr OvaCue and found it has been clinically proven to be 98.3% accurate in monitoring ovulation, soooo I will give the CBFM and few months to see if that can work its magic and give me my peak days (if not I think I had better visit my GP) But if it doesnt help enough I will look into getting the OvaCue. Im so desperate ill give anything a try ... Or I could even try both see what happens
