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

[Briss]

Hi laustiredttc, I am not sure what caused my CBFM to freak out like that after lap/dye, it might be that I got UTI during the operation so my urine was not of great quality which affected the reading.

I usually use new CBFM sticks but then I ovulate very early so do not need to use more than 4-7 per cycle

got another very negative OPK on my second peak yesterday Something is not right. I am actually using very old FR OPK which I got a few months ago in a pack so they are not individually wrapped. It said on the package that once opened it should be used during one month but I have been using it for much longer because I do not need that many. It worked fine before though. Next cycle I will be using cheapie OPK but they are so hard to read.

Laus, that is a great tip! I will defintiely be doing that in the future.

Well it seems like my cycle is doing weird things to me too. I'm CD12 and I'm still on low. This is the latest I've ever gone without getting a high. I had an HSG on Monday. I guess any kind of procedure can screw up your cycle.

 

[Briss]

OPK line got darker today on the high after peak, that's really strange it may get positive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow which is 4-5 days from my peak. unfortunately i run out of sticks so wont be able to check whether it will get positive. how disappointing if all our BD was for nothing

Impatience over! AF arrived yesterday, 26 days after MC so am glad it's was just like a cycle in the end. Got a follow up scan on Mon so hoping it will be the all clear and praying for 3rd time lucky, am determined to stay positive.

Sounds like the CBFM is not playing ball for many this month.. I'm toying with leaving another cycle and using OPKs instead but might succumb and reset this weekend..who knows!

Come on ladies I think we need to see some late bonfire and pre-Christmas BFPs!!

That is strange, could be delayed O? hope the BD is not for nothing, just think of all the practice!!

Looks like OPK let me down this cycle (did not get a positive) but CBFM was spot on, got my crosshairs. also my sex drive disappeared yesterday which is usually a sign that I ovulated. bring on TWW

Wishing all the best for this cycle Briss.

let's get some s!!!

 

[CaliDreaming]

Well I have ticked off my CBFM because I skipped too many days feeding it sticks. It has quit asking me for sticks and I had to interpret it on my own, lol. I belive I O'ed on CD 15. Good luck Briss!

P.S. Laus love your positive attitude!

Hi to everyone else I have missed!

 

[vkj73]

i'm in the tww...just pressing the on button for sh*!s and giggles.

 

[PatTabs]

Ahh the TWW seems but an age away for me..looking forward to some good news from you all!

AFM - scan all clear on Monday, I had a lovely nurse on this occasion who scoffed at the fact I was worried my egg qulaity was not so good at 36 and said she has been supporting a lady who had 13 MCs before her first baby...which fills me with hope, however what a lady to keep going!

Anyway so I succumbed and pressed M CD7 and a high already..not quite sure about that but let the BDing begin...10 days til DH and I head to NY as well so just going to have fun and enjoy.

Thinking of you all..

 

[CaliDreaming]

Good luck ladies!!

Pat, what a lovely nurse. It is always so wonderful to run across people like that!

AFM: I'm not sure if I'm in the 2ww or not. I didn't feed my CBFM enough sticks early on so now it is on strike and not reading anymore. I POAS and tried to read the result myself and got what I would interpret as a peak on Monday, but I didn't get a temp spike and I'm still feeling O pains. I think I'll count today as O day. I won't know when to expect AF this cycle.

Popped by to chuck a bit of about

 

[mamadonna]

Hi ladies h,wow i can't believe ur 15 wks already!how did the scan go?

 

[Classychick72]

Can't believe I am writing this as I'm 40yrs and DH is 42 thought we'd left it too late and would be trying for ages. However bought a clear blue monitor, started folic acid, conception care, omega 3, co enzyme q10, even prim rose oil and b6 and hey presto 2 months later BFP!!! Can't quite get my head round it! Feel fine just tired! Off to docs tomorrow to check but all tests and af no show 1 wk later
I fully suggest anyone gets a monitor its fantastic tool all worry out of it for us especially due to our age!! Waiting for Xmas now to tell family in a fun present sort if way as long as things go well til the 13 wk scan. Good luck to all those on 2 ww I was a poas holic!!! But your time will come I'm sure!! X

Hi ladies - so if AF arrives for me on Saturday or Sunday this will be the 2nd month of me using the CBFM. Quick question - do I press the M button on the day that AF arrives or the day AFTER AF arrives?

 

[CaliDreaming]

Hi Lady H. Glad to see things are going well!

Congrats Classchick 72!!

Firebaby, if AF starts during your desired testing window, then you can press the M button and count it as day 1. If it starts after your desired testing window, then you press m the next morning--which is still counted as day 1.
