I just started using mine this cycle - I'm on CD 8. So far I've just had 3 Lows.

I usually O on CD14, so I'm wondering when I'll start seeing some highs!

First time using it? x

 

[ginny83]

I'm pretty sure I O regularly around CD13-15, but just felt like having a new toy to play with. Kinda felt like I earnt it!

Hi ladies.

I've got the of these and they are great at detecting LH surge and Estrogen. I didn't use it this month because I just wanted to go au natural.

What I did want to say is that please, please do not be disheartened if you do not get a single PEAK this cycle or even the next. This is because it is trying to work out your cycle.

Also, it usually starts asking for sticks on CD 6 if you're using for the first time. If it asks for the sticks 10 times in a row without reaching a PEAK it will keep asking for them until the 20th stick, even if you do get a PEAK. So for example if you get a peak on the 11th stick (CD 17)it will continue asking up until the 20th stick even though you have ovulated. Usually if you get a PEAK within the ten stick limit, it won't ask you for anymore.
It can be an expensive process and I get round that by placing old sticks in the monitor if I know I have ovulated.

Also, the sticks have a shiny side and softer side to pee on. Pee on the soft side

Hope that makes sense? Good luck and wishing you all the best xxx

Thanks hun x
the sticks ain't cheap..i got a price in one chemist for €38.90 and a different one down the road for €27...hope we only need one box xx

 

[ginny83]

Thanks for those tips!

Another Low today! I really thought today would have been a high! Today I'm CD10 according to FF or CD9 according to the monitor and usually I O around CD14, so I'm hoping that I even get some highs let alone peaks!

It just goes to show..we think we know our cycles x maybe you will ovulate late this cycle..mine is only on day 3 Af slowed down today too so im happy x

Don't panic. I sometimes didn't have highs until day 13!! Also you can get lots of lows, no highs and go straight onto PEAKS xxxx

You're more than welcome hon.
What's the date of expiry? To be honest, I'm not sure how the sticks can go 'out of date' (unless they are years out of date).I would still use them....

 

[missy123]

May 2012? Yeah ill chance them x

 

[ginny83]

Well I got a peak today!? So it's L, L, L, L, P

I usually O around CD14 and today on FF I'm CD 11.... does this seem to early for the peak?

 

[Spockette]

Missy, they should be fine hon

Ginny, that's great that you got the PEAK and its not too early. You won't ovulate there and then.... You may ovulate in the next 12 hours or the next 48. Get busy sweets and have fun

Also remember, tomorrow will also be a PEAK automatically so you won't need to pee on a stick.

Xxx

 

[ginny83]

Will it still ask me for a stick or will it just say peak straight away?

It shouldn't ask you for a stick because you've used under 10 sticks so far.

 

[missy123]

Cd6 today..monitor asked for a stick but it only showed one bar x
its so handy to use

 

[ginny83]

I used another stick yesterday and sure enough I got another peak. Didn't bother using one today!

I think theres a chance I might have O'd when I got the first peak - hard to know though as much temps aren't the best

 

[ginny83]

plus that would mean I O'd on CD11 which is very early for me!
