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

I was diagnosed with hypothyroiditis in 2004. Had half of it removed surgicallly...went on thyroxine and had a few miscarriages while my levels were up and down. Now I have TTC'd for the 1st time with CBFM and bingo..pregnant....5 weeks 4 days. And my thyroid levels are whack but being monitored closely. It can be a successful pregnancy. You need to see an endocronologist as soon as you get a BFP.
 
Finally, on CD11, I got a high. One day later than I have been the last few months using this monitor. I'm going to start using OPKs in the evening and the sticks in the morning and see what I get.

Congrats on your pregnancy!! It's comforting to know that you can have a successful pregnancy with thyroid disease with medicine and monitoring.

I wonder if that's a change in your body's chemistry, or if the machine has just learned your pattern. When do you usually O and how many highs do you usually get before you peak?
 
Mamadona, I went to a FS last week and she drew blood. It looks like she is testing for a thyroid issue. She ordered TSH and antithyroid antibodies. I am still waiting for my test results, but from what I'm reading about it, I am pretty sure I am hyperthyroid. I have had almost all of the symptoms at one point or another over the years. My mother had to have part of her thyroid removed too soon after she turned 40, so I guess I was more at risk for this to start with. I think I have always been borderline hyperthyroid, but I was pushed over the brink after I had dd, because I had some really intense symptoms a few months after she was born. I thought it was all normal postpartum stuff but now I'm seeing that it wasn't

I am glad that I may have an answer, but a little teriffied at the same time. It seems so difficult to treat.

I am about to stalk your journal. You really have been through a lot these past few months. :hugs:
yeah its been tough time but hopefully I'm over the worst,had all my blood results back today and we have the all clear to try again,very nervous but I've gotta give it one last try

I was getting my first highs on CD10 and peak on CD15 the first 3 months. I guess I have to wait and see what it tells me this month. It's been an interesting thing to use.
 
Hi ladies im new to the cbfm this was my first month using it and had no joy:( Just wondered if any of u ladies got your bfp with dh low sperm count??
 
Hi Trolley_Dolly! Welcome!

That is really interesting...I hope it is a good sign.
 
Hi ladies, i am on CD25, and today i finally got a LOW. This is my first month with the monitor and it has been on high since it started asking for sticks on CD 7, no peak. I know it is learning my cycle but it has been abit dissapointing just seeing it at high all the time. Hopefully it will be more useful next cycle

Or maybe you'll get a BFP and not have to worry about it. :)
 
Evening ladies..

Welcome new ladies..hope your stay is short and sweet!

My bleeding has finally stopped but have not reset my CBFM yet. Not sure what to do this month I still have to go for a follow up scan Friday so just going to take it easy I think.

I have been focusing on the positives today, its been 10 mths into my TTC journey but in that time I have had two BFPs so I am glad I can get them but now it's a question of keeping them...
 
Welcome Moras and Trolley xx hope your stay is short.

Pat, so sorry Hun, maybe take a month or two off from everything? Give yourself a break? Xx
 
Oh Lady, I don't know I just don't want another few months to disappear, but I hear what you are saying, am not going to use the monitor or anything just go back to having a life really but I can't shake the fact I so want badly want a baby...but you and all of us know that feeling!
 
Oh I so do. That clock ticking. I'd finally decided to risk missing a month in August and that was when I got this BFP!
 
Something has changed this month, probably my own body, because I got my peak this morning, CD14 (usually CD15). EWCM yesterday and today (never had a problem with that before, but I have been taking 1000mg EPO morning and evening from AF to O, just to see what difference it might make). BD Thursday, can't again until Monday (out of town for work). Might be a bust this month, because I expected my peak to be tomorrow. I even backed it up with a OPK to be sure.
 
Jean, I hope that you O later on today so that you will still be in your fertile window. It sucks when our bodies change up on us unexpectedly.
 
I had tested with OPK last night about 8pm, line too faint. Tested again at 5am this morning, lines matched. I used the same FMU to test with the stick for the monitor. At least I know I don't have to use any more sticks this month. Here's hoping the little swimmers stick around long enough.
 
:witch:
she got me. i actually was feeling like i might be pg this time.

i posted a question about blood work and when to test.

would love it if you wouldn't mind checking that post out.

thanks girls :kiss:
 
Thanks Lady H.

I have a question about long cycles and cbfm. On the first cycle with the monitor, does it keep asking for sticks if you have a longer cycle?
I ask this because
1. My monitor asked for sticks from Cd7 till Cd25
2. FF thinks i ovulated on CD15, but not for sure
3. But i am still waiting for AF, and i know i am not pregnant

So i am worried that i might have O'd later but the monitor stoped asking for sticks too soon.
Have you heard anything on the monitor getting used to longer cycles? And how many tests it does?
