Using Clearblue Fertility monitor - anyone else? 7 BFP's...

[foxyviola]

Thank you.
Yes of course Briss. I had been ttc since oct 2010. Had 2 chemicals oct and nov, a chemical in Jan then fell pg and lost my girl at 38 weeks. Started ttc again march 2012, another chemical. The only thing I did differently was I bought pregnacare for pregnancy by mistake so I'm not sure that counts! I had also lost a stone in weight starting in July I think.
I will be under a consultant and have been told to bypass a midwife and call the hospital.

Congrats Foxy. I knew you were that is why I asked if you'd tried another type of test! I got an OPK line on 12dpo and then tested and git BFP! H&H 9 months sweetie xxx

First of all many congrats to foxy

I am having a strange cycle. I had a high on cd 6, it's now cd 12 and still high no peak. Does this mean I'm not ovulating this month? My cycles are usually around 25 days so should have peaked by now. This is the third cycle using cbfm and the other 2 have been fine. I got a couple of highs before peaking around cd 11. Do I just keep testing? I don't want to waste sticks as they are so expensive. Will the cbfm just keep asking for tests until AF shows? Any advice would be much appreciated

 

[laustiredttc]

hey hun i know they are expensive but sometimes your O day can move occasionally and it would be better if you kept testing just incase you miss your O

 

[alin3boys]

Hi Hun I have 25 day cycles and I get my peak on cd 12 and ov cd 13-14

 

[vkj73]

so i'm on cd18 (usual 33+ or so cycle). my gut has been telling me that
i'll be ovulating soon. the cbfm however is still at a low. i used an opk today
and the line was pretty strong. not fully the same color as the control, but pretty darn close. i'm also feeling some mild lower back aches and got a huge zit a couple of days ago. lastly, i also had some cm a could of days ago.

with all of that said, for some reason the cbfm doesn't seem to be picking up what i'm feeling. so...we're going to go for it tonight.

we shall see...

Good luck vkj73!

I'm on CD7 and CBFM asked me to POAS for the first time this cycle. It was low of course. It will be interesting to see how this thing changes it's patterns as it learns my cycles.

 

[vkj73]

i'm on cd23. still a low on the cbfm
i'm really hoping it's due to the fact that my monitor is 3 years old.

does anyone have experience with an "older" cbfm? when is it recommended to stop using it?

thanks!

Hi CBFM ladies

Hope you are well, Foxy wow congrats a H&H 9 mths to you...

Lady - how are you and your wee bump coming along?

I am still reading the backlog so apologies if I've missed anyone else's good news!

Wishing everyone else much always...

Taking Sept off the boards along with our holiday was just the ticket, 10days of sleeping, reading, swimming and eating was just bliss, got back and now slowly back into the groove really...so much so that a few days ago I realised I was indeed 3 days late and am still reeling from the sight of a BFP on Wed.

I don't know if it was the holiday, leaving CBFM at home or just not obsessing about everything but I guess I don't care but just praying this one sticks. To be honest it's not sunk in yet and a part of me doesn't want to get excited as I was heartbroken after my mc in March.it really is a strange mix of emotions at the moment.

 

[mamadonna]

Congratulations hun that's brilliant news!

 

[vkj73]

congrats to all the ladies who have gotten!s!!

so, another cbfm question?

what's the latest you can get a high or peak on the cbfm?
i'm on cd24 and got a low this morning, however, i had
what appears to be fertile cm today.

could i possibly get a high tomorrow?

thanks

 

[Lady H]

Yay Pat, brill news! I got mine from relaxing and dropping off BnB too! Xx

Vkj not sure Hun, but the cm sounds hopeful x

 

[vkj73]

wondering what it will be tomorrow?

 

[Lady H]

Good luck Vkj xxx

Congrats on getting your high!! Hopefully you get your peak soon. Did your test sticks change in color at all from your first low to your last low?

 

[CaliDreaming]

I tested this morning at CD10 and it's still at a low. My CM is not quite watery yet so the reading is corresponding to my signs. It is at the lotiony stage.

Last cycle I got a high on CD 8 and before that I got one at CD 10. My O day is pretty unpredictable.

 

[PatTabs]

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!?

thanks Cali, Mama, Lady am still feeling a bit all over the place, I want to be as excited like I was last time but am so scared, I wish the feeling would pass as I want positive vibes to surround me silly eh.

Cali re: your O being all over the places i had this too but still on a fairly static monthly cycle so started being a lot more aware of my EWCM too.

Fingers crossed for that peak soon for you and Vkj!

Well you have good reason to be positive though I can totally understand why you are a little apprehensive. You've been taking supplements for the past six months, so I'm sure your body is in a better place than it was back then. I'll definitely be praying and sending positive vibes your way too..

I just got my BFP 12dpo at 43.7 years old. I was using CBFM and past year (with shortened cycles) have been ovulating on CD 12 or 13. CBFM missed my peak this month, (BFP) and missed Peak at least 4 cycles over past year. Just stayed at High. I temp and used CVS OPK's and when they began to get really dark I knew, and luckily I feel O pains, plus get gassy bloated day of pains so I'm sure I O'd. I called customer svc. and they sent me a disk so they can check it. It was purchased new. I just think that as hormones decline? over 40ttc maybe CBFM not as accurate...

Congrats notrustyyet. You are really giving me for me at 38.

That definitely would make sense that it might be due to a decline in hormones. It's just good to know that a woman can get a bfp even if the CBFM doesn't register a peak. I have gotten a peak every month I've used it and would much rather have the bfp than the peak!
