Another CBEFM Question
How important is it to use sticks from the same box? I have 11 sticks left (well, actually 10 since I used one today), and last month I ended up using 19. Therefore, it seems pretty certain that I'm going to be using more than 11 this month.

Re: Another CBEFM Question
I was wondering the same thing! I only had 3 sticks left from the last box - it would be such a waste!

Especially for how much the cost.

Re: Another CBEFM Question
They say you shouldn't switch boxes in the middle.
When I had some sticks left in a box, I would use them for the first few days of testing when I KNEW I wasn't going to be near Oing (for longer cycles).
So if you start testing on CD 9, I'd use them CD 9-12 or so... then start the new box. You basically want to use them for your "low" days, since those really don't matter too much anyway.
If your cycles are shorter, then I would just get a new box.

Once again, thanks for the advice. You're the best.

Re: Another CBEFM Question
hmm I never knew this. I don't understand why they don't recommend you finishing a box?

It's not that they don't want you to finish the box... it's that they don't want you to switch boxes in the middle of your cycle - since each box can have a slightly different sensitivity to the hormones.

really?!?! I don't understand why that would happen.... Not all sticks are created equal?
