CBEFM girls - need help
So I used my CBEFM for 2 months, got pregnant and miscarried. I never reset it - so now it tells me that I am on CD82. I am now really on a provera induced CD3. I went to my RE this morning - and I am going to start taking clomid again tomorrow. I want to reset my monitor and if I remember correctly, the last day that you can set your "M" button is CD3, is that correct? If so, I am going to go home at lunch time and call the hotline so they can reset me!

Re: CBEFM girls - need help
just hold down the "m" button, you have until CD5 to set it.

Re: CBEFM girls - need help
I'd also reset the whole thing... I can give you instructions on how to do that if you want. The reason I think you should do that is that your cycles are probably different now after your m/c.

I don't think this is a good idea. The CBEFM is supposed to "learn" your cycle and act accordingly. If you just press the m button, it will think you had an 82 day cycle. You can completely clear the memory and start fresh. If the people at the helpline can't tell you how to do it, you can fm me and I will tell you. I have it saved on my computer.

Re: CBEFM girls - need help
Resetting the CBEFM:
1. Remove the plastic cap from one end of a clean-unused-test-stick and snap the cap onto the other end of stick. Inset the test stick into the test stick slot of the monitor. The beveled corner on the insertion end of the stick must face in toward the monitor. THE STICK MUST SNAP INTO PLACE TO PERFORM PROPERLY . The monitor should not be turned until step 2.
2. Press and hold the "M" button. Continue pressing the "M" button while turning the monitor on. NOTE: Do not take finger off the "m" button until these directions say to do so in STEP 5.
3. The screen will show the "remove the test stick" symbol (a flashing test stick with an arrow pointing right). Continue pressing "M".
4. Keep pressing the "M" button and in about 20 seconds, you will see a screen full of symbols. The screen will also display these symbols when you initially turn the monitor on for the FIRST time. This indicates the memory is now cleared of all prior data.
5. Remove the test stick first and then QUICKLY release your finger from the "M" button. The memory should now be cleared.
6. Your screen should display a flashing "M" and one or two dashes. If it does not, it will probably show a "1" and an "M" in a non-flashing mode. If so, you will need to repeat all steps of the process. This procedure may take several times before you successfully reset the unit to its “new” state.
7. Start using the monitor on CD 1 as per the instruction booklet.

okay.. I've done it many times and it never affected anything. Still read my cycles appropriately.
