cbefm: question about peak

[Josie1999]

i am new to the fertility monitor and was wondering when you get your first peak does it automatically go to peak again and high the following day....i think i had late ovulation this month as i had all the signs of ovulation a few days after my peaks and i was wondering whether the monitor gives automatic second peak followed by a high

 

[SJR]

It's my first month using the monitor. I got -
1 day of low reading
3 days of High readings
2 Peaks
1 high
then low again.

i had 1 day of low, 6 days of high, 2 days of peak and then 1 high and then 1 low again....i think once you hit a peak it autimatically goes into another peak followed by a high

Yea it gives an automatic second peak after the first. I don't bother testing again after the first!

 

[Josie1999]

yes i agree but 2 days after second peak, i had a positive opk ( smiley face) people on the forums tell me sometimes you can gear to O but dont so your body tries again....

I don't think the CBFM detects this tho - design flaw that it only detects the first LH surge so the only way to confirm if ovulation has occurred is to temp during the cycle too.

This is my first month the CBEFM too. I got my peak at cd 11, but I had a temp drop on CD 9? Was the temp drop a fluke? Do you think I ovulated on CD 9 or 11? for the last 7 months, I was just testing CM, and I thought I "o"ed around cd 23..... This month is nerve racking with confusion!

I went straight from Low to Peak too.....*sigh*

 

[Josie1999]

they say that the cbfm needs to get to know you....i hear that the second peak is the day you ovulate but i am not 100 percent sure

CBFM once it sees peak will always give a second peak the next day and then a high. Once you get a peak you can cheat and pop and old stick in the neXt two days to save money. I think you ovulate 12-24hours after a peak which is why it says high on the third day just in case. It does take a month or so to learn your cycle though.

I am new to this forum as well as the CBEFM, although the later has become very frustrating. This is my first month using it and I know other posters have said it takes time to get used to your cycles BUT some weird stuff is happening. It asked me to start testing on day 6 of my cycle, I was still bleeding but I tested anyway. I tested from cd 6 to cd 16 with just low fertility readings, then from 17 to today CD 23 I have had high fertility readings but no peak yet. I am now on CD day 23 so I am wondering if there is really any chance that I could be ovulating this late.
