CBFM
Hi there
I was just wondering if anyone could help me with my CBFM. Does it turn itself on or do I switch it on every day to see if I need to test?
Thank you and sorry for the daft question.

You need t turn it on every morning and it will tell you if you need to test by showing a flashing test stick and an inwards pointing arrow.
Feel free to ask lots of questions - I'm on my 1st month with it and still learning as I go along!
I have found mine so helpful in pinpointing ov. Cycle 1 it was cd16/17 that I got peaks and cycle 2 got peaks on cd10/11!!!
Good luck!
It's day 6 of my cycle tomorrow so my first actual testing day. Quite excited! But I'm sure I'll be on here asking loads of questions during the month.
Fingers crossed girls that it works first month for us all!
Good luck n enjoy all the BD'ing!

Ms Impatient, I'm a day behind you, I'm on day 5 tomorrow. I'm so excited.
Thank you everyone and lets hope its our lucky CBFM month this month.

Not 100% sure though!
I think my only question so far is...how long is a long cycle?? I read that if you have a long cycle you might have to use 20 testing sticks the first month rather than 10. I've got 29 (came with the monitor i bought on ebay), so would like to order some more plenty time in advance if I have to use 20.
My cycle is 34 days - is this long??

I'm pretty sure I am ovulation as I've been checking cm for a few months and it all looks promising. But because of OH's shifts I find it a bit difficult to pinpoint exactly when we should BD.
So I'm really hoping that the CBFM can help us with that.
Really hope that it's our month this month!

MsImpatient - although 34 days isn't technically long, on your first cycle you may well need 20 sticks as it will assume you have a 28 day cycle and will therefore ask you to test every day from CD6 until you peak.
I took have fairly long cycles 37 days (ish - hence the CBFM!!!) and currently on CD25, stick number 20 and still low - not even a high .
Beginning to wander what's up!!
Let's hope they do what they say on the packet hey! Desperate for a littlen and month 6 of trying - was kinda hoping it would be 1st month lucky! How naive was i!! x
He's on nightshift this month but I've told him he'll need to leave half an hour early so we can fit in in before I go to work!
Got some more test sticks ordered off ebay as well as some cheapie tests - no harm in dreaming is there?!

I can sympathise about your OH - mine works away a lot. I have spent only 36 hours with him in past 6 weeks and as typically, I know I was not OVing during that time! So realistically during past 6 months we prob havent timed it right at all and can't have regular BC as he's away so much so I'm praying the CBFM helps us pinpoint exact days.
It's not easy is it, but I like your forward planning and enjoy the BDing!!!

I would like to point to all concerned parents or parents to be that I am not an English teacher!!!
Good Luck fellow CBFM ladies! x
I must admit to avoid the dancing I pee in a cup (sorry tmi). I have had highs on day 6 and 7 (on day 7 now) also had some stretchy stuff yesterday (sorry this really is tmi) but it was tinged with old blood so I have no idea what is going on now. I'm really excited though and hope this month is our month. How long have you been ttc?
Noviada, my hubby is just going along with things too. I think as long as they get their involvement (lol) they will just go with the flow.
Thank you and good luck

its month 9 for us so im hoping this brings us some luck- cant wait to start testing tmw. think we're gonna bd every other day as usual but every day if i get my highs and peaks- is that right??
I think so yes, thats what we are doing. I think by the looks of things the first month can be a little inaccurate whilst its getting used to your cycle,
Good luck. Lets hope we both get our BFP this month.
