Question for CBEFM users
4
Thu, 10-23-2008 - 10:00am

This is my first cycle using the "baby making gadget" as my FDH calls it. I got my first high reading this morning. How many days of high reading do you usually get before peak(I know it will vary from person to person)? I am going out of town tomorrow until Sunday evening and was really hoping I wouldn't O until I got back. We will BD tonight, tomorrow morning and Sunday evening- hopefully that will be enough if O while I'm gone.

TIA

Hi- after 3 unsuccessful cycles, we tried the CBEFM.

I've used my CBEFM on/off for a few cycles and it has varied for me too.

So, along with everyone else, mine has varied too. I just started with it last month, and for my first cycle with it I had 4 high days before I reached my peak. This cycle, I had one high day before I reached my peak - whoa, way too quick! As I understand it, the high days mark an increase in your estrogen, which is the build-up to your lh surge. Your lh surge, which is marked by your first peak day, indicates O w/in 12-36 hours. Hope this helps.
