Did you use CBFM whilst breastfeeding?
Also posted on breastfeeding
Hubby and I are trying for our second and, after 10 months of exclusive bf, I have nearly weaned lo off the boob. HOwever, I still haven't had a proper AF (only some spotting a week ago) and am now thinking that perhaps the CBFM would help me.
The website says that I should wait 2 clear cycles before using it and so I was wondering if anyone has used it whilst breastfeeding or shortly after stopping and did it work?
It is an expensive piece of kit so want to make sure it is worth getting.
Many thanks

When you first switch the machine on you have to program it on the first day of your period (so you have to have one to start with). It will then give you at least 6 days before it asks you to PAOS, then you do this for 10 or 20 days, if it hasn't detected a peak reading. After the 10 or 20 days, you have to wait for your next period to come to restart the process. Hope that makes sense and helps xx
I know I am clutching at straws but I really want another baby!!!!

We've been trying for another baby for 9 months (about to go into month 10) and for the last month I have been using the monitor all the time whilst still breastfeeding.
I did get my periods back before we started ttc though and you couldn't really use the monitor until you do as you can't poas unless it prrompts you to do so!
I think until you get your af you'd be better off peeing on a cheap opk every day and you'll see if you're ovulating that way!
Good luck x
