Could someone please answer a question for me. I started using my cbe monitor this am and got a high. I missed testing yesterday, day 6 because I didn't have my sticks yet. It automatically puts you at a low when you miss your time window to test. I don't know if taking Vitex has anything to do with this. I assume my estrogen is high. Not sure if this is bad for swaying pink. I thought it was supposed to lower it. I also stopped bfing a week ago and this is my 1st ppaf. Anyone have any insight? Thanks ladies!!!

I was hoping a CBFM expert would answer this but I'll have to give it a try!

I think you got a weird reading because you missed a day, not because your estrogen is particularly high. Remember, our estrogen is SUPPOSED to be higher than it was...it's meant to rise and fall. NO ONE conceived a baby of either gender with low estrogen, that's not how our cycle works. So my point is, even if your estrogen goes up, that's because it's supposed to and without that happening, you won't ovulate anyway.

Thanks Atomic. I did send a pm to Ribbons. I think she uses the monitor too.
