For those using the CBEFM.... UPDATE
I am feeling a little bummed and was hoping to vent/get your opinions. This is my 2nd month using the monitor and the first month, I had an "ideal" cycle -- 28 days long and I ovulated on the 14th day. We unfortunately didn't try that cycle because of some things going on and now I am regretting it!
Fast forward to this cycle - ughhhh - not the same! I am on my 14th day and have had high fertility for the past 7 days but have NOT reached peak/ovulated.
Am I not ovulating this cycle? Could it still be coming? What is throwing me off is the fact that I've already been in high fertility for a week!
Any advice/words of encouragement/personal experiences would help!
XOXO!
UPDATE -- I am driving myself crazy -- I am now on CD19 and STILL showing high fertility. Monitor has shown high fertility since CD8, but no peak. What the heck is going on?!?!?!

Were you on any BC before using the monitor? Any sort of stress can DEFINITELY alter your cycle, most women don't actually O on the 14th day. I wouldn't be worried at all.

Yes, prior to using the monitor, I was on BC for the better part of 9 years. I was off BC for 2 months to let my body "regulate" before using the monitor.

Re: For those using the CBEFM....
When I used the monitor it didn't catch my peak. So I started using OPKs during the time I "thought" I should be peaking and got positives on those but the monitor didn't catch it!!
Needless to say, I don't use the monitor anymore

You could absolutely still be "regulating", I've seen on here that some girls took upwards of 6 months to regulate, especially after being on it for as long as you were. Figure after 9 years it's going to take a good long while for your body to readjust - my doctor actually recommended to us to wait 3 full cycles after going off it to regulate... and I was only on it regularly for the last 4 years.

I would give it another couple of days. Sometimes our cycles are wacky.

Until you hit a low reading, you're still in it. Keep BDing. I didn't get a peak the month I conceived.

Same for me - I backed up with opks and got a positive result but never peaked on CBEFM the month I got BFP or ever actually (used it for 2 months)
