CBEFM question

I got an "egg" symbol without any high days again for the second time since using it!

It went straight from low and on CD 16 I just got the egg symbol.

Did this happen to anyone else?

So strange!

I wonder if there is something wrong with my monitor. I have to call the help#!

Re: CBEFM question

This happened to me the first few times using the monitor.

The first month I just got 2 eggs then a high day and back to low.

The second month I got a bunch of highs and no eggs.

The third month I got 2 high days, 2 peak days and 1 more high day.

Don't worry. It is normal and it takes a few cycles for the monitor to get used to all of the days.

Are you also temping or using OPKs? They will help you confirm if the monitor is working.

I always test in the afternoon with the digital OPK after getting the "egg" on the monitor for backup. It is always matches up. It is just weird that there is no "high" days. I would expect at least one or 2.

I just looked it up and found out that it can happen:

FROM THE WEBSITE
13. My Monitor changed straight from Low to Peak Fertility this cycle. What does this mean?
This may happen occasionally, for example when a rise in estrogen is detected on the same day as your LH surge or if the Monitor does not detect a change in your estrogen before your LH surge. This can also happen if you miss a test, or perform a test incorrectly, or if you have a very short cycle following longer cycles. To optimize your chances to conceive, you should still have intercourse during this Peak Fertility time.

**
My cycle was shorter this month.. I went from 32 day average to 28 days last month so I guess that is what happened.

Re: CBEFM question

this is helpful, thanks! I could probably expect the same thing since my cycle was long last month.

I haven't had no high days, but the first cycle using the CBEFM I had two high days & this cycle only one.
