Question for people using ClearBlue Fertility Monitor

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I know there used to be a thread where people using the CBFM would post.  I can't find a recent version of it though so I thought I'd post my question in a new thread.

 

This is my 2nd cycle TTC and using the CBFM (though my 4th cycle using the CBFM so it should know my cycles pretty well).  Last cycle we ended up with some very bad timing, in part because I think I misinterpreted the monitors readings.  I don't want that to happen again. 

 

As I'm approaching O again, I wanted to check in with people to see what they consider to be the O day based on their monitor.  For me the pattern has been 1 high day, 2 O days, and 1 high day.  Does anyone know which of those 4 days should be the O day?   I don't chart as my temps are too erratic from night nursing.  I do check CM and it's usually egg white on the high day.

 

I know the best option is to DTD every day leading up to those days and through them all.  But, sometimes baby-making DTD is stressful and sometimes it doesn't happen... 

 

Any thoughts on how to best time? 

 

Also, I'm not sure what it means but this cycle I've already had three high days... CD 12, 13 and 14 (today) so I don't know if I'm gearing up to O tomorrow (which is really early) or if I'm going to have 5 high days before O (and therefore need to DTD 8 days in a row-- totally unlikely!)

 

Thanks in advance for any insight or advice.  I really appreciate it.

I don't have any personal experience with the CBFM, but I was just reading a thread in the Fertility forum and one poster in particular seems to know a lot about using the monitor.  Check it out and maybe she could assist you: http://www.mothering.com/community/forum/thread/1313956/fam-temp-taking-and-waking-nursing-babes
