How long does the CBEFM ask for tests?

It's my first month using it, it started asking CD6, I am CD10 now, how many more days will i need to do a test?

Re: How long does the CBEFM ask for tests?

that mainly depends on you and when you ovulate.

it will ask you everyday until you have a surge, once you have a small surge it will probably say you are HIGH fertile. That may last anywhere from 1 to 5 days. Then you get 2 peak days followed by 1 high day.

I normally ovulated around cd18-20 so for me it started asking me to START testing at a later CD.

It should generally ask for about 10 tests per month, that's what the instruction booklet says. It also states that during the first few months it may ask for more than 10 tests (depending on when you will O), until it gets to know you better.

If you have a pack of 30 tests you should be good for at the VERY least the first cycle, if not the first 2 cycles. After the machine gets to know you, a box of 30 should last about 3 cycles.

ETA: read the book, it's all in there... and I think it might sound less confusing than I wrote it. haha.
