Hi Everyone!
This is my second month using the monitor, CD1 today. Last month I got highs from CD6-CD24. I know the monitor can take a bit to figure out your cycle, but hopefully works properly for me this time!

Hey! Last month was my first month using the cbfm, and I never got a peak, even though I'm pretty sure I o'd (all the other signs were there). I did some research, and apparently, it's very common to only get highs and no peaks your first cycle using it, as it's trying to get to know you better. I would BD for the next few days for sure I'm hoping this month it actually shows a peak for me! Good luck!!

My first month on the monitor and off BC I did not O, just keep getting highs while it got used to me. By my second cycle I did get a peak and O'd....depending on if your body was on some kind of BC or if you have longer cycles etc can be all that or you may not O that cycle.

We BD at least every other high just in case!

When we got pregnant we didn't even BD on peak day, only highs

i went down to low today after a month of all highs and not one peak i am gutted, i am just praying that there isnt anything wrong and the monitor just didnt pick up my ov surge this month.

has anyone else had a whole month without a peak?

Don't get discouraged Hollie, thats totally normal! Was it your first cycle using the monitor?

Hi! I had that last month CD 11-25 all highs, then back to low, no peak, but it was also my first month using it. Have you been using it longer? I've heard that can sometime happen, doesn't always mean you didn't ovulate. Hopefully this next month is different for both of us!

Are you right off birth control? If so you may take a few cycles to ovulate...and yes the monitor can take a few months to get to know you. With that being said I did not ovulate the first month, ( no peaks), but did ovulate the second and was pregnant by the third cycle! Best of luck!

if someone gets peak so is this confirmation of ovulation?

 

[CastawayBride]

I believe so but I am not medial professional! lol

I do know that the monitor tracks two hormones and notes the hormone that is needed for ovulation to occur so that is why I am assuming it does more so then ovulation sticks which only tracks the one hormone...

Anyone know what happens if you miss the time to poas for the monitor? I'm stranded without my monitor (long story) and am going to miss it in the morning. Will it throw everything off? Should I use opk this cycle as well?

this has been my 2nd month using the monitor and ive never taken any form of birth control in my life! im so hacked off today,

i just want to cry the monitor is saying af is due, im getting bfn's everyday and im stuck at work feeling like crap.

it's been almost 6 months since my dd died and i just need a bit of good luck for a change x

 

[amanda1235]

Hey everyone! I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether being on antibiotics will affect the monitor results? I was just put on antibiotics for 3 days for a bladder infection, and of course, today was the first day my monitor started asking for tests (CD 9). I know since the test strips pick up the hormone, I feel like that antibiotics SHOULDN'T interfere, but just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this. Thanks!

Also, anyone know if antibiotics interfere with ovulation?

Your monitor is getting used to your cycle again, I defintely think if you did the deed on highs you have a very good chance...good luck!
