CBFM yes or no?
am now onto month 6 of TTC and said a while ago that if nothing happens within 6months I would get a CBFM
...well, now I am nearly there and not so sure...so I wanted to ask you ladies who have one.
Is it worth it? I have regular cycles(+/- 1day) and know fairly well when I OV.
Does it make you more relaxed or does it make you more obsessed?
Am sure people have different opinions so I would be pleased if as many of you as possible can leave a lil comment.

Sometimes it can vary and you dont always OV the same day each month so it just takes the guess work out of it and I think makes like easier.
My cbfm has really helped me feel in control of my body. While like you I have a regular cycle, I have found that I don't ov when the text books say I should and this month ov'd two days after my ewcm.
You can get some good deals on them on the interweb. I got mine from Amazon. I've also seen them on ebay, but I've never ebay'd so I;m a bit shy of it!
I'm on my 2nd month with mine and am loving it. It reassures me that I am OV'ing and then I know if we have given it a good shot! This month we only BD'd on 1 of the peaks and and also 2 days before the peaks so we don't BD just because it says we should but I know where I am and exactly how many DPO I am.
As one of the other ladies said if you shop around they don't have to cost too much and if you find you don't get on with it you can always sell it again xx
If you're going to buy it, try and get it either before AF is due or as soon as your AF arrives as you have to start using it within the first 5 days of your AF starting.
Come and have a chat with us on the CBFM thread too and see what we're saying about it.

It took me 8months to get pg, but then MC'd at 8 weeks. got my cbfm after my MC, and really helped to know exactly what my cycles were doing and that I was cycling again.
like someone else said it can make BD'ing a little pressured. this month I wouldn't tell hubby when peaks were and we had more fun that way
if I could go back and buy mine earlier I would!

I think I will go for it but wait another month because January is a bad month for extra expenses so soon after xmas.

I love mine, best money I ever spent. Takes the stress out trying to figure out if you're ov or not ov'ing. I was ov'ing much much later than all the ov calculaters said so would never have got pregnant had I not bought it.
I got mine for ??50 on amazon and was worried about th eexpense but really was worth every penny x x

I agree with broodybeth - I've used my cbfm properley this cycle and actually got a day where the (i dont really know what to call them - so i'll call them 'bars' for now - so - i got 2 out of 3 bars then got 3 days of 3 bars so - peak - and at least i know i am OVing.
i would definitely say '"yes - get one".
i can't really give an oppinnion on it's success rate because it's been 1 month - hopefully i'll be able to give a positive update on it soon (fingers crossed)
