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

[Jean40]

I didn't notice EWCM this last month (I usually have loads) then my post O temps were all over the place, so I wonder if I even O'd at all. If I did, it was a few days earlier than I usually do. I was taking EPO AF-O, drinking RRL tea AF-O, then drinking spearmint tea 12oz every day except for Thanksgiving to Tuesday (I usually make it when I'm at work and I kinda forgot at home). I decided to NOT do EPO this month and I just got some vitex drops (my cycles WERE regular until a couple months go). I am going to try that and going back to a peppermint/spearmint tea blend (the plain spearmint, ugh, it's a taste issue). I started taking the EPO and RRL tea for menstrual cramps, which was working. I'm still cramping, but not as painful or having big clots like I was before. Now I wish I had started charting my temps sooner.

sorry af got you jean.

I woke up in the middle of the night having a strange dream that I was breast feeding a baby (never did that in my life before), I guess that means I am ovulating will see if I get a temp rise tomorrow

 

[CaliDreaming]

Briss, I hope your dream was a premonition!

AFM: I'm trying to make up with my CBFM. Last cycle, I forgot to turn it on during the test window and it's been acting wonky ever since.

 

[Briss]

CaliDreaming, I hope your CBFM will behave itself this cycle. I do get these weird baby related dreams from time to time but so far I cant see it materialising in BFP

My CBFM gave me peak on CD10 and FF put my O on CD 10. I do not like this at all, way too early.

 

[vkj73]

so confused, low on the cbfm this morning,
ewcm late this afternoon.

thoughts?

i'm going to post this on the main page too, see what i can find.

 

[Briss]

what CD are you on? if you have ewcm l would start BD at least every other day just in case, who knows your CBFM might be playing up. also you could try backing it up with OPK.

afm, FF moved my O to CD11, finally!

i'm at cd 18 (another low today)

last cycle i peaked at cd17 (it was a 29 days cycle)
and the one before that, i peaked at cd27!!! (it was a 39 day cycle).

so we definitely will bd every other day starting tonight or tomorrow.

 

[vkj73]

cd 23, 5th high.

anyone had this before...5+ highs and/or no peak?

i'm pretty sure i have, but i'm forgetting.

hoping the peak shows up soon. fingers crossed
that a high is still a good sign. we bd'd 2xs sunday and last night.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Yes I've had five days of highs before getting a peak. I think my max was six. I have gotten a peak on each of the cycles I have used the CBFM.

 

[Briss]

My longest was 4 highs before peak, I had two cycles where I did not get peak just highs starting from CD6 onwards.

 

[vkj73]

I just found this:

I've only been using mine for 2 cycles, but I've been getting tons of highs (9 this time; CD9 to CD19) so far, and peaks after that (I confirmed with OPKs and temping). Out of whatever reason I go straight to peak around CD8 (at least so far). I did get lows on CD6 and CD7, so I know that my estrogen wasn't up to begin with, and my cycles seem straightforward (only one LH surge/patch of EWCM and nice temp shifts).

 

[Briss]

There are quite a few ladies on B&B who got their BFP on the cycle where they did not get a peak, just highs. that's why not getting a peak does not mean you are not ovulating but just that CBFM may be missing your LH surge for some reason. It just makes it harder to know when to BD. It's also good to temp cos in that way you know you are still ovulating even though you are not getting peaks.

 

[Jean40]

Got my peak today! Smiley OPK, too (wanted to test last night, but couldn't pee on demand, too much pressure, lol). Felt a pop on the lower right side this afternoon, just a sudden prick of pain, then gone within a minute. I'm hoping all these vitamins and other things I'm doing actually worked and those good swimmers got to where they needed to go.

Briss chart looks good, any symptoms?

Jean good luck!

Dust to everyone xxxx

 

[Briss]

no symptoms whatsoever. looks like my temp started its inevitable descend, woke up with lots of cramps, AF is on her way

 

[CaliDreaming]

Good luck Jean!

Briss, sorry AF is on her way! That stupid witch!

 

[vkj73]

well, i got a peak today (cd 25 after 6 highs).
i also went to a fertility specialist this morning.
using the ultrasound, he was able to show me that i either had or was about to ov. so, it's reassuring to know that the cbfm seems to be spot on.

i also had ewcm yesterday.

good luck to all. may af stay far, far away from you.

 

[Briss]

VKJ, happy BD! good luck

afm, my temp dropped so am patiently waiting for AF to show up
