CBE monitor question

asunflower · #1 November 28th, 2010, 05:44 PM

I missed a day on my CBE monitor and it is still showing low fertility so I think that messed me up. I have been trying to use other symptoms to look for O but they have not arrived yet. Maybe I am just late with O. I did not O until CD 23 with the DS so who knows. But I usually do around CD 17 and I am on 20 now. I thought Fertile Aid was supposed to help with that but it seems to just have thrown my last 2 cycles all out of whack! Anyone else have issues with Fertile Aid? Or did it really get you back on track?

I don't use the fertile aid, but if the monitor hasn't picked up a high or peak reading today i'd probably say you haven't O'd...My monitor has been frustrating me, but it's been right on with my charts/OPK's too, so I trust it..I would back up your monitor with at least temping or OPK's just to see how things look...Good luck!!!

I agree with using a backup like temping or something. I have a monitor but I never use it anymore bc of the sticks being so expensive. That and I keep forgetting to buy them lol.

It seems like Fertilaid would keep your O date on track or help you O sooner but sometimes I hear of it doing the opposite! I took Fertility Blend and used the monitor the month I conceived our son but who knows if it really helped me conceive or not haha.

I use the monitor and I would agree that you probably haven't O'd yet if it hasn't picked it up. I did some reading on that Fertiliaid stuff and I saw a few people that it totally messed up their normally regular cycle. So I don't know about that stuff. GL thought!!! Hope you get that high result soon. This is my second time using my monitor and this time I rarely get the high reading it just goes straight from low to peak?!?!

I only got L, H, H, P, P, H reading my first month using my monitor...Now it goes right to Low to peak every month (i've only used it for 3 cycles, this will be my 4th).

I have been using the monitor for about a year and half now and always get good readings. It pretty much had pinpointed me to day 17. I decided to try the Fertile Aid, thought it couldn't hurt but it seems to have thrown be out of wack for sure. My DH takes the Fertile Aid for issues and it has helped him tremedously.
