Flashing "m" on CBEFM
This is only my 2nd month using the monitor but this month, I am on day 20 of my cycle and it starting flashing an "m" on the right corner of the monitor. I know it says that it means your cycle is finishing, but I have had a high peak reading for 4 days now and still haven't gotten a peak reading. ALso, my cycles are long and don't understand if I did something wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Flashing "m" on CBEFM
I'm pretty sure mine doesn't flash "m" unless I reset it when I get my period. I have to let the CBEFM know when I started my new cycle, not the other way around. Is it still giving you a reading and prompting you to POAS?

Re: Flashing "m" on CBEFM
Did you accidentally hit the M button?

Re: Flashing "m" on CBEFM
From the manual --
Usually, a few days before your next period is due, the ‘m’ Symbol will begin to flash to indicate that you are approaching the end of your cycle.

Exactly what I read! That's why I'm concerned!! It is still showing "high fertility" and asking me to POAS but after I take the stick out, when it gives me the reading, it is flashing the "m". What do you think is wrong?

Yes, this is what I was going to post too. The instructions say that as you approach the end of your cycle the "m" button will flash to let you know that you're period should be coming.

It doesn't necessarily mean AF is coming for you. What CD are you on? Also, I believe you mentioned that this is your 2nd month using it. It takes about 2-3 cycles to get used to your cycles. With me the first 2 cycles, it started flashing a few days before CD28 but I have long cycles. After the 2nd cycle using it, it got to "know" me and my cycles and now I don't get the flashing M so early.
ETA: My first cycle using the monitor, my cycle was 51 days. I had 15 days of high readings from CD9-CD24. No peak so I probably didn't O that month. Second cycle was 34 days. I had high readings from CD8-CD24. No peak but I also temped that month which showed that I O'ed on CD23. Third cycle was also 34 days. I had high readings from CD18-21, Peak on CD22-23, High on CD24. Temps also confirmed O on CD23. Now I'm on Cycle Four and currently on CD31, high readings from CD21-27 and no peak. Temps also show that I did not O. I know my cycles are not typical but my point is, it still hasn't gotten used to you yet, you said you have irregular cycles which makes it slightly more difficult, and until you get a low reading, keep  !!!!!
