Question about CBEFM

Hi everyone,

I just started using the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor this month. I started testing each morning starting on Day 6 (as the monitor requested), and it's still showing me low fertility and I'm Day 9 today. Shouldn't I see high fertility readings by now??? My cycle is typically 27-28 days long. This isn't making sense to me, since the package booklet says it will identify up to 5 high fertility days before your 2 peak fertility days (which are ovulation). The monitor isn't giving me any error readings, seems to be working just fine.

Can anyone help?

The monitor is fine.

Thanks Lisa. I'm worried that we'll only get 1 high day, or no notice and go right from low to peak. I decided to use an IC OPK along with the monitor. But, I'd like to have as many high days notice as possible, that way we can get BD in a couple times before O happens. Once you have a + on OPK, you have about 24 hours notice, right? I was hoping the monitor would give us more notice than that, otherwise I would have just stuck with the OPK. Ah well, it's still early, so I guess there's still time to see what comes of it! Online O calendars mostly have my O'ing around Friday or Saturday.

My best suggestion is to keep using the monitor and over the course of the next two to three months you should see a pattern with your peak days.
