Are any of you using a Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor (like the one in the picture below).

hi there! I have used the CBEFM for a long time, little over a year, and there was only one month that I didn't get a peak, all I got were high readings and that cycle I did not ovulate. It went from several days of lows, to several days of highs (when I should of already got a peak) then back down to lows. I would usually get 2 peak readings, and I would ovulate on the 2nd peak day. So far your readings sound pretty normal. Are you temping also? I temped with the monitor to pinpoint the exact day I o'd and thats how i know i did on the 2nd peak, some times even the high day after the peak. I dont know what else to tell ya, especially if you have problems Oing, but good luck! I hope the monitor helps you out, I know I love it!

Hi,

I bought this monitor at the end of May and used it for my first cycle of trying in June. I had just gotten off BCP and my cycle was longer (33 days) in May then my usual 28 days with bcp. I had a high reading for a few days and was beginning to worry that I would not get a peak reading but on day 16 there it was peak. So I would not worry too much right now. BTW I got a bfp on that first cycle. GL

I have used mine for three months earlier this year, then I gave up.

Hi :)
I bought the clear blue fertility monitor in may, dh and I have been ttc since decomber with no luck, I think that we were having trouble figuring out when I o'd . But when I bought the monitor, I had a very long first cycle, with no peak, I started to get concerned, but I used it again this month and I literally went right to high on the first day that I tested. I was at peak level within a few days, went back to high for one day afterwards and then back down to low...So I am hopeful for ts month :) I really like using the monitor, it's very easy to use and it gives clear results...I know you mentioned something about clomid, and I know that when I read the instruction booklet for the monitor, it said that taking fertility drugs could affect the results, so I wouldn't worry too much about not getting a peak time the first round, it could have just been because of that. But, I wish you luck :) and hope it works for you :)
