That's great I hope I follow. I'm day 19 and still no peak just high

Fingers crossed, BZ88. Are you on Fertility Friend for the charting yet? If not, I can send you an invite if you want.

I am how do I share my temps have been varying from 97.2-97.6. I am so nervous I am coming off a failed IVF and I know my cycle could be a bit wonky

Just thought I'd update that my monitor asked for another stick this morning after my 1st Peak yesterday. I fed it a High stick from a few days ago and still got a Peak, so as it is programmed to automatically give you P, H, L after the 1st Peak, it is definitely worth feeding it already used sticks to save sticks and money.

Hi ladies.

I am going to purchase some OPKs ASAP as my attempt is in a couple of months. I have never really tracked my fertility at all. The most I've done is taking my temps, but how reliable is that anyway?

What's the diff between CBFM or OPK sticks?
Should I get one over the other?

Thanks

At the beginning of this cycle I reset the monitor and started POAS on CD6. I started getting Highs from CD10 and a Peak on CD25. With the monitor realising that, I am assuming it will ask me to POAS later next cycle.

Now the thing is: I have taken Vitex this cycle and it has brought ovulation forward from CD42 last cycle to CD26 this one. I guess there is quite a high possibility that the Vitex next cycle will bring it forward again. Do you reckon there is a chance I might be missing my Peak if the CBFM asks me to POAS later? Does anyone know how much later it might ask me to start POAS?

From the Clearblue website:

Clearblue Fertility Monitor - proven to almost double the chances of conceiving1

The Clearblue Fertility Monitor is the most advanced home method of maximising your chances of getting pregnant.

Research shows that the Clearblue Fertility Monitor increases the chances of conceiving by 89% over the first two cycles of use1.

Most home ovulation tests identify the 2 peak fertility days during your cycle by detecting the surge in Luteinising Hormone (LH) that triggers ovulation. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor is unique as it tracks 2 hormones to typically identify up to 6 fertile days – it not only shows you your 2 peak fertility days, it can also inform most women of an extra 1-5 days of high fertility prior to their peak fertility. Since your partner’s sperm can survive in your body for several days, making love on all of these days can lead to conception.

Personally I bought the CBFM as there is no second guessing any lines like on an OPK and I like the fact that it gives you more warning than regular OPK's. Also, I know of a lot of people who used the CBFM (without swaying though) who fell pregnant within the 1st three months of using it. They are a bit more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. I bought mine 2nd hand of Ebay.

I was worried with this too as the fertile CM kind of messed with my cycles so on one cycle I went from low to peak with no highs, but ever since then, it has shown my the high and peak days.

Automatic High after the 2nd (automatic) Peak for me today and it did not ask me to feed a stick, but gave me the High straight away. Temperate suggests that I ovulated yesterday.
