Not sure what to think about my cycle

I have been using the fertility monitor and have not yet gotten one high day or a peak day. I am on CD 18 and usually ovualte around CD 19 or 20. Today I had some creamy CM with some brown spotting

I am worried that something is wrong with me

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

How long have you been using it?

How long are your cycles typically? Do they usually range in length or are they pretty consistent?

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

This is my 2nd cycle using it and my cycles have been very consistent that is why I am worried.

I also felt some AF type cramps today

Is there anyway I could ovualte and the monitor not detect it? Could there be something wrong with the monitor. Just trying to run every scenario through my head.

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

Since it's only your second cycle, it is likely that the monitor is still getting used to your body and your cycles.

You might go straight from low to peak as has been happening for some women on here lately.

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

why dont you try an OPK just in case something happened w/ the monitor?

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

I actually did an OPK this afternoon and it was negative

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

how do you know when you usually ovulate? what method was detecting it or did you get "O" pains?

have you taken a pregnancy test
if you are pregnant, you will not ovulate

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

For the past 3 months or so I have been using OPKs and then started using the fertil monitor. And I usually get the O pains and this month I really didn't get them. I always get a postive OPK or peak on CD 19 and 20.

I know I wasn't pregnant last month because I got a full period.

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

I am sure it will happen in the next day or 2! Good Luck

Re: Not sure what to think about my cycle

Ok so this morning I got a high reading on the FM and a negative on the OPK...

Also I have been taking B complex this month could I have messed up my cycle with that? I thought that was supposed to lengthen my luteal phase

High readings mean that you are nearing ovulation. Usually once the CBEFM gets to know your cycles, you will have between 1 and 5 high days. I've found that for me, I get my +OPK the night of my last high day and the following day I will always get my peak.

The B complex vitamin should only affect your LP, which is AFTER you ovulate.
