This is the 1st month I am using a fertility monitor. I am also taking Clomid!

Can you please tell me what CD you get ur peak and the bar moves up to the 2nd level? Has anyone out there used a fertility monitor and clomid together and conceived? Any information about the monitior will help..thanks!

I have used the Fertility Monitor for 2 cycles now. In my first cycle, we got a "High" around 5 days prior to our "Peak", which was on CD17. In the second cycle we got a "High" 1 day prior to our "Peak", which was on CD18. But the CD that you get a high or peak depends on your own cycle. The first few months the monitor will be trying to adjust to your cycle so that you get a tighter fertility window. You can see that from the tighter window that we got on our second cycle of using the monitor. Hopefully, the monitor worked for us in this cycle.

Hope that helps.

Hi, I just wanted to tell you about my experience with this. I've been using the monitor for about 8 months now. I was getting about 3-4 high days before O, then 2 peak days. I wasn't O'ing regularly, so I can't tell you what CD's I would get peaks. On clomid, I've had about 10+ days of high fertility, and then 2 days of peak. It is stated on the little booklet that comes with the monitor that using clomid may affect your monitor's readings. It may give you many more days of high fertility than you should be getting, but it will still correctly identify your peak days. Just wanted to let you know. Good luck!
