Question

A question about CB Fretility Monitors


Hi Girls, (I have spelt fertility wrong in the title, but it won't let me edit!!!!!)

I have been reading up on CBFM and am not sure whether they would suit me.
I know they say that the first 5 days of the cycle show as 'm' on the monitor for and then to start testing on day 6.
I am not actually sure when I ov, as OPK's have not been reliable for me.
We have always BD around CD 11 onwards, but I only ever have one or two day AF's. Is it possible to ov really early, and therefor the monitor would miss it?
I am so confused but am really tempted to buy one.
Any experience of the monitors would be really appreciated.

Thanks Girls

Maz xx

I've just ordered one, and to be honest I was wondering how suitable it would be for me. Luckily though my mother in law that she buy this for me as she says anything is worth a try.
Good luck Mazmos and congrats biteable.

I used CBFM for months and while I never achieved a pregnancy, it did help me to get in tune with my cycles.....and lack of ovulation. They are expensive but I thought they were worth it.

Good luck!

the CBFM doesnt always start testing on cd6, the first cycle it does but if you need to continue it another cycle it will adjust the first testing day from an earlier day if needed.

Oh, I see - I didn't realise that Thanks for that Hun. I am very very tempted as I can get a brand new one from an online pharmacy that I have used before for £64.00 including p&p so seems like a bargain to me
