for those that use/have used cbefm

This is my 1st month using the monitor so i know it has to get used to my cycle, im just wondering for those that have used it, how long did it take for u to find it to be effective/helpful? Did anyone find it to not be? Also, i know it shows 3 'levels'... how many days of the 2 squares did u normally get and how mant days at the highest level? I am on cd14 and still showing the lowest level, before my bfp i o'd around cd17

Re: for those that use/have used cbefm

for my first 2 bfp the cbefm gave me 2 high days, then 2 peak days, then 2 high days. This is my third time (not third month) using it and it seems to be all over the place so I guess it's different for everyone, even on the same person

Re: for those that use/have used cbefm

I have looooooooong cycles so I usually get a low reading for 2-3 days then it jumps to high around CD12 and *if* I ovulate I might not see a peak reading until CD24 or much later. Way later. The times I did ovulate and got my peak reading the CBEFM was dead on.

thanks for your responses...
it finally jumped to level 2 yesterday, and was level 2 again today (CD 15 & 16) i am hoping for a level 3 tomorrow!!

Re: for those that use/have used cbefm

My cycles were regular 26 day cycles. I got pregnant my second month using it. Both cycles I got 1 bar (high) for 1 days followed by two 3 bars (peak) followed by one last one bar (high) HTH

Worked for me the first month I used it. Good luck!!!

Re: for those that use/have used cbefm

Did anyone NOT get a peak reading using it? Today was day 5 where im getting 2 bars (high) but still no peak... today is cd19. Before my d&c and while being off bcp my cycles were anywhere from 31-34 days if i remember correctly. Im starting to think i wont get a peak/ ovulate and it's making me sick to my stomach

Re: for those that use/have used cbefm

I used it for 3 months before getting my BFP. The 1st month it went straight from low to peak, peaked for 2 days. 2nd month I Oed late and I got 1 high and 2 peaks. Cant rememeber when I Oed@ CD20 I think. 3rd time I Oed on CD15 and got 2 highs and 2 peaks.
I noticed with temping and doing the CBEFM that I Oed on my 2nd peak day.
Good luck and this is the best way to find out when you O

Re: for those that use/have used cbefm

I didn't get a peak in the first month. Last month, I got 4 high days followed by 2 peak and one more high.
