Quick question: Does any one know whether you can start using a Clearblue Digital Fertility Monitor on CD2 or 3 instead of the recommended start date of CD1?
I've just ordered one and am waiting for it to arrive. However my AF has come early and upset my plans to start using the monitor on CD1.
You can program the monitor by holding the "m" button so it skips past CD1 to CD2 or CD3. So if you get your monitor late no worries, you can start using it right away without being on CD1. The first cycle it as you testing on CD6 from what I remembered.
Thanks for the replies. I'm glad to hear someone else is about to start using one. We can compare notes and it sounds like you and I AF around the same time (I don't know the length of my cycle yet though as this is 2nd one after stopping BCP).
I wondered if you could programme it to skip the first few days, it made sense that you should be able to to me. However, I'm going away until Christmas Eve and it still didn't arrive in the post this morning, so looks like I will have to wait in any case for next month.
Just in case anyone reads this thread and wonders how I got on. Well, I received the monitor in the post on CD5 and it was fully programmable to start on any cycle day up to and including CD5; so I was very lucky.
Have been using it since and am now on CD9. It changed today from a LOW reading to a HIGH one and I'm expecting it to reach PEAK in a day or so. I'm very impressed with it so far, it's a lovely little gadget and very user friendly.

Just think now that there are a few folks that use them, there will be some to sell when we get our BFP's...if you don't get one first! I found a link online about how to reset them for a second persons use. CBE says that they are not transferrable, but with this tid bit of info they can be!!
1. Remove the plastic cap from one end of a clean-unused-test-stick and snap the cap onto the other end of stick. Insert the test stick into the test stick slot of the monitor. The beveled corner on the insertion end of the stick must face in toward the monitor. THE STICK MUST SNAP INTO PLACE TO PERFORM PROPERLY. THE MONITOR SHOULD NOT BE TUNRED ON UNTIL STEP 2.
2. Press and hold the "M" button. Continue pressing the "M" button while turning the monitor on. NOTE: Do not take finger off the "M" button until these directions say to to do so in Step 5.
3. The screen will show the "remove the test stick" symbol(a flashing test stick with an arrow pointing right). Conitnue pressing "M".
4. Keep pressing the "M" button and in about 20 seconds, you will see a screen full of symbols. The screen will also display these symbols when you initially turn the montior on for the FIRST time. This indicates the memory is now cleared of all prior data.
5. Remove test stick first and then QUICKLY release your finger from the "M" button. The memory should now be cleared.
6. Your screen should display a flashing "M" and one or two dashes. If it does not, it will probably show a "1" and an "M" in a non-flashing mode. If so, you will need to repeat all steps of this process. This procedure may take several times before you successfully reset the unit to its"new" state.
7. Start using the monitor on CD 1 as per the instruction booklet
