cbfm low and opk positive?

[vkj73]

i'm on cd 20, and am still testing at low with the cbfm.

the opk on the other hand has been gradually becoming stronger and stronger each day since this weekend.

needless to say, we started to go for it.

has anyone had this happen?

hmm, are you using the opks with just the line indicators. i first started using those and thought i had two lines for four days one month which i didn't think was possible. my cbfm was still low but it did show a high after two days of what i thought were positive opks and then peaked. After that month i didn't trust the opk so i started to buy the ones with a smiley face. you can't make a mistake with those ones.

so_anxious,
thank you for your reply. yes, i'm using the line tests.
i'm pretty sure monday and tuesday were the strongest lines,
and this morning, i was still at a low on the cbfm.

the cbfm is now 3yo, so i don't know if that has anything to do with it.
it worked the first like a charm the first cycle with our first.

we'll see what happens...

did you reset the CBFM? I read somewhere that you need to reset if you haven't used it in a while.

Here's some instructions:

so_anxious,
thank you for the link. i really appreciate that.

i started using the monitor again in may/june, after not using it for 3 years.
i was actually getting highs and peak.

i'm thinking one or more of the following is the issue:

1. i switched the battery out when traveling in august, thinking i would save the battery in case it got pushed to on in cargo.
2. the cbfm is 3 years old.
3. the sticks i got on ebay were faulty

who knows. hopefully i won't need to, but if i af does come, i'll try the resetting plan you sent.

thanks again

I bought a cbfm on ebay, when i received it I reset it and it asked for a stick from day cd5.......well im now on cd25 and its still asking me to poas? I have had lows every day...no 2nd or 3rd block and no peak when looking at the actual sticks from cd5 where there was only 1 line, they have progressed to 2 lines and then back down to 1? so do you think I ov'd? and if so why didnt the test detect anything?

do you have long cycles? i didn't get a high until cd25.

i know that the info is stored, maybe it's still going by the last person's?
