Any tips on using thees things? got myself one at last off of ebay. Do i need to start it at the beginning of my cycle?

Woohoo Welcome to the club sweetie.
Although I'm still waiting for my AF to show so I can begin using mine lol so I'm not much use

AG or Tish have been using them for a while and probably best to dish out advice. I know you start to program from the day AF starts (bleeding not spotting)....

You can start it up to day 5 of your cycle.
You will need to buy sticks and youll probably need to reset it if its second hand aswell.

the woman has said that she would reset it, if not i've found a website which tells you how to reset it, where do you get your sticks from? cheapest i've found with delivery is £15.99

the sticks are expensive no matter where you find them really. And the packet says that most women with average cycles only use 10 sticks. But in my case, since my cycles are weird, I have had to use 20 and it might want you to use more the first time you use it since it is getting to know your cycle...if it is second hand, I don't know what it might do. The testing sticks should come in packs of 30.

I was dipping my sticks in a cup for 15 secs and keep getting only high readings, so I am poas now...just something to consider.

You will really like the CBFM!! I am so happy it finally came!
