CBEFM question
I am just starting to use this. I know the first month it has you start testing at day 6. . I know that I O somewhere btwn days 14-16 and don't really want to waste all those tests. . is there a way to use a single test repeatedly for the days I know I don't O or should I just suck it up and use them all. .

Hmmm I've never done this. I usually buy the OPK that has 20 Strips. That usually holds me over till I get my surge!

Re: CBEFM question
The cbefm you need to use new sticks each day. Ths is to get to know your cycles with the machine. After the first 2-3 months you wont need to use as many sticks If you don't want to, you may want to use the opk instead.

This. You can stop using sticks after you get a Peak reading since it goes on auto-pilot after. It could be worse! You could have 50 day cycles like me and have to use almost a whole box of 30 sticks in 1 cycle!

wow, that's a lot! I thought they said the machine did not work for 50 day cycles! Have you tried or heard about ovacue? I heard that is great for long cycles and you don't need any sticks but is is more $$ to start!

Not every cycle is that long luckily! I have some that are 32 days. It says as long as 45 days I believe but it still works for me.
