CBEFM Help!!!!

This is my first cycle using CBEFM and I know its trying to "learn" me but I've gotten High readings for the past 15 days and then today I got a Low reading! No peak! I probably have another 20-25 days left in this cycle before AF generally shows her face.

Do you think it read the stick wrong (I've been using the same pack of sticks)? Or is that it for me for this cycle? I'm so confused!!

FWIW we've been BDing just about every other day since CD10 (first high reading).

Thanks!

Re: CBEFM Help!!!!

I don't use it, but I notice a lot of ladies on here post about similar issues in their first month with it.

Hopefully someone else can give you more insight from actual experience. See if the readings make a little more sense next cycle if you don't get your BFP this one.

Re: CBEFM Help!!!!

Lots of women don't/wont get a peak reading using it first cycle.
I would continue to every other day until AF arrives or BFP.

I am using it for the first time this month also.
I got my first high on day 12- today is day 16 and I got my 5th high- no peak yet. Based on my CM, I don't think I've o'd yet, so I am not worried it isnt working. We will every other day until after I think I've ovulated if we dont get the peak this cycle.
PS- my second test got messed up- the tip did not get wet enough and even though I did not get an error, I dont think there was anything to read. FMU did not make it to the window.

Re: CBEFM Help!!!!

i did get high and peak readings for my first month. I can't remember how many high days i had before peak though. It was more than 2 or 3. And it was also giving me peak readings earlier than I was actually peaking. This happened until it got to know me... then it was dead on target!!

It usually takes about 3 months to get to know you. It's learning the increases in your hormones... how large or how small indicate ovulation for you. So I'm not too surprised this happened.
However, I would be concerned as well. I'd even call the 800 number on the packet.

I'd keep everyother day for the rest of the month just to cover all bases.

Whatever you do, DO NOT miss a testing day because the machine will have to relearn you and that could take another 3 months. SO be very careful to not miss any tests that it asks for.

Good Luck!

Re: CBEFM Help!!!!

My first month using it I had 2 high fertility days, then 2 peak, then one more high. Try it again next month, hopefully it'll give you your peak days

Re: CBEFM Help!!!!

Thanks for the help!

I don't know if I O so it could just be that I didn't this month. I'll see what it say the next few days.

We'll keep every other day until AF shows.
