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

I can definitely only give positive feedback on preseed!

Hi. I'm new to this site. Have any of you used the cbfm while being on chlomid? I'm just starting it this cycle and was told to also use the regular sticks that only measure LH because the extra estrogen that chlomid puts out can put the monitor out of whack. I was really hoping to start tracking when I'm ovulating, the regular sticks never come out positive even when I do (day 21 confirms). Supposed to go in for iui next week and how am I going to know if I'm ovulating? Clinic made it seem like u/s is not what people normally do to time it correctly. From what I've read though other docs do pay close attention. I'm wondering if it's a cash grab (gave my deposit for the procedure) but with the doc not so worried about helping figure out when I ovulate I'll likely miss it
Just a wee bit frustrated. Congrats to all of you for whom it's helped!

Sorry can't answer that one,do you have irregular cycles?

 

[2have4kids]

mamadonna congrats on your news! I hope you have a healthy non-eventful pregnancy. My cycles are pretty regular30-32 days but very short AF @ 1-3 days. I will test with both and if on day 14 I have nothing I'll ask them to do an ultrasound to see what's going on.

Temping and checking ur cm may work for you,i would think you'll probably ovulated around day 16 to 18 with that length of cycle,but Temping would be a good indicator for you

Got my peak yesterday but not really any EWCM and not positive OPK. Confused!

 

[mamadonna]

I would still bd just in case,good luck!

 

[2have4kids]

Thanks mama will try temping again. After 8 months of craziness I gave it up but now that chlomid is forcing new outcomes it's worth trying again.

 

[mamadonna]

Even if you do it for a couple of months till you get indication of ovulation

CBFM and sticks arrived today! I had a MMC on 25/05 and am still bleeding When it stops and I get a period do you think it is worth using the monitor or should a wait till the month after?

I am desperate to start trying again.

Thanks ladies for sharing all your stories

Hi Jayne welcome and sorry to hear you had a mmc xxx. Not sure Hun as sometimes the cycle after mc is annovulatory. However if you have waited until you next have a period I don't see why you can't start the CBFM. Good luck.

Hi Jayne, so sorry

I Mc'd at 12 weeks in March and had an ERPC so was told to wait for one period and that was 4 weeks to the day I started my MC. So reset my CBFM froM that date.. I have heard people try straight away but think you have missed the window for using the CBFM now so you will have to wait for your next AF. No reason for you not to start from when you next get AF!

to you!!

 

[jaynehard74]

Thanks PatTabs and Lady H

Sorry if this is TMI but I have been bleeding heavy for 8 days and am still getting a positive pregnancy test. Do you know how long that will last for? I had a MMC and the baby stopped growing 6 weeks ago

At the moment I can't see an end to this

 

[PatTabs]

Oh Jayne , I promise it will get better and the Sun will shine again, I felt the same it's still so very raw for you, but the bleeding will ease and the positivity will return. I know it's hard to think of that right now though.

Sorry I can't help with how long it will last, we are all very different and i didn't take any tests to check I just rode out waiting for the next AF, however even aftermy ERPC I bled for another week.

Stay strong...

 

[2have4kids]

Very sorry to hear about the mc jaynehard74, wishing you a speedy recovery

Mama you were right, got a pos o test today on cbfm and the poas cd18 as you called it. Going in for iui tomorrow am, I thought I missed it altogether (got a strong 1/2 colour on the CD12 then dwindled until almost nothing until today).
First positive oulation ever, trying over a year and this is third chlomid cycle. Needless to say I'm very excited for tomorrow! Just need to get through hoop 1, then hoop 2, have it survive & be healthy.

Wishing you the best of luck!
