Anyone currently using CBEFM
I bought mine a few weeks ago and started using it this cycle. I'm wondering if anyone else has had any luck with it or finds it helpful?
I DID use it 5 years ago with my son and I got a BFP on the first try, so I'm hoping fingers crossed it will help me out this time around!
Last month I didnt try anything other than an APP (P-Tracker Lite) and unfortunately I think the settings had my O date too late and I missed the train, so to speak. I realized after the fact DH and I BD'd probably a day or two after my actual ovulation and I got nothing but BFNs last month

Anyone currently using CBEFM
I was using it, but it honestly just caused more stress for me, so I'm not using anything for a few cycles (just timing wise with my brother's wedding coming up, I'm not going to be forceful in ttc, just passive) then I'm on to temping, because I think that's going to be my best bet. Plus, the two times I got BFP's, they were months that I was only using the calendar (chemical & 6week mc).

I used it along with temping and found it useful for figuring out my crazy cycles and predicting ovulation. However, the month I got pregnant, it missed my surge so I never got a peak reading. Needless to say that when I got my BFP, I was shocked b/c I didn't think I ovulated!

Re: Anyone currently using CBEFM
I stopped temping too, it was making me too stressed. I was thinking of getting a CBEFM this month though.

The CBEFM missed my surge and ovulation this month. I have consistently been on 2 bars, but know for fact that I had an LH surge and that I ovulated because I was monitored by my RE this cycle with bloodwork and sonograms.

Re: Anyone currently using CBEFM
I just starting using it this month. So far I had 4 high days and 2 peaks. I think I ovulated on the 2nd peak because I had cramps.

Re: Anyone currently using CBEFM
Uggggh Im stressing. Last month, when I just used an APP, it was pre-set automatically to my ovulation being 14 days after the start of my period. Because of that, I think I completely MISSED my actual ovulation, which I think was about 9-10 days after....I think I ovulate pretty early in my cycle. (I could tell bc I was getting all the typical signs during those days but stupid me ignored them bc the APP said so) Also important to note my cycle is always very regular, 26 days and 5-6 days long.
Anyway so here I am now, DAY 8 and I just tested on the CBEFM and Im still getting LOW. UGGGH. Arent I supposed to get at least a couple of days HIGH before I ovulate? Im just a confused mess! LOL Im thinking scr#w the CBEFM and BD anyway just in case! LOL

1. It takes the CBEFM a couple of cycles to get used to yours.
2. The average LP is 14 days but it can be as short as 10 days so if you have a 26 day cycle, you can ovulate as late as CD16.
3. When you TTC, what may be the norm for you can suddenly change. It's a total mindf*ck!

You can start up to CD5. Just be aware that the first few cycles it's still getting to know you, so it might not catch your peak (it might), and it might ask you to do more than the 10 sticks. Good Luck!

Re: Anyone currently using CBEFM
I used it for my first PG too.
I'm using the same one I used then & I think it's remembered my cycle...if that's even possible.
I've been trying several months just using an app tracker too & nothing, so I'm hoping this will work it's magic again too!
Like everyone mentioned, it takes a few cycles for it to know your cycles, so you may use more sticks like the AP said.
Fingers are crossed...and lots of 
ETA: Just saw this was from last month...
