ISO "Tech Expert" for CBFM and DISO for CBFM Buddy

[ambertwogood]

I started in the TTC forums, bc this time around I haven't "classified" myself as LTTTC yet, although, I'm not sure if I fit anyway (is it just if you have ever had long term TTCing issue's or just per TTC time? I was a LTTTCer for my first, but we've only been TTC for 4 cycle's since my cycle's returned PP, so I don't really know where I fit in here) I don't really feel like I "fit" into the regular TTC group bc most of those ladies are either trying for a first or have never had fertility issue's. And most of them are new at all this, and I'm not, so the question's I normally do have normally go unanswered over there, bc they are way over their "expertise' level, if that makes sense at all. But then I saw the Second time fertility issue group too, and wondered if that's where I should be.... I don't know and someone else's insight on where I really fit in would great, bc I'm feeling very lonely and unsupported bc majority of my posts go unresponded to for months.

^That's my first Issue, is figuring out where I really should be here so that I "fit" in and am actually part of a TTCing community instead of feeling like an outsider/outcast

Second thing- I have a CBFM (old version) and a CB Advanced (just came in) and was hoping that I could find a CBFM "expert/ tech nerd" (and I mean that in the most respectful way and full of admiration ) to PM me about some issue's I'm having with the monitor as well as some other questions I have. If anyone is good at programing, hacking, etc that would GREAT! (seriously)

Third issue (and one that is dear to my heart) is finding a CBFM (or any OPK monitor you are using "buddy"/ Buddies. I've posted several times looking for other ladies that are using one to no avail, and I know I can't possibly be the only one using the (or any kind of) ClearBlue Fertility Monitor. I feel like anyone using a monitor is kind of in a place all their own bc it's a lot different then just using LH strips and very different issue's, questions, etc come up that the LH strip ladies can't answer bc they don't know the answers. I would love to start (and if a mod is reading this that would be AWESOME ) a stand alone forum just for the ladies TTC while using an OPK monitor for "fertility assistance" and at the very least just a running thread some where for us. So IS THERE ANYONE ELSE USING ONE OF THESE THINGS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE MY CYCLE/TTC BUDDY? EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND THE MORE THE MERRIER

I think you can pick where you belong :] there are tons of people everywhere so I don't think you won't find what your are looking for regardless of where you post. I'd say if you feel comfortable here in ltttc then stay! As for CBFM, I don't personally use it but I do a lot of charting, opk, and have had more blood draws this year alone for hormones than I can even count. Do you chart in addition to using your CBFM?

Yes, I'm charting too. I starting tracking temps this month, use wondfo's to back up the monitor, track my CM/CP, and everything else like symptoms and whatever else needs to be noted. I didn't get to temp this morning Which I'm totally sad about. Do you know if when your temp is on a rising trend, if you miss one of them if FF will still give you cross hairs? I'm almost positive I O'd on CD 16 as I had a fairly large temp rise on CD17, and am really kicking myself in the behind for not getting my temp this morning. I was excited to find out that we had timed BDing correcting. Oh well, hopefully it won't mess up things too much :/

Hi there! I'm not currently using my CBFM (old one), but did use it for quite a while, and plan to start using it again when we are able to financially start ttc again.

I might be able to help you with the older CBFM, I still have my manual and have had to reset mine a couple of times. Let me know if you are still looking for help and/ or buddies.
