Two questions

Shadeauxe · #1 February 28th, 2011, 06:11 AM

How long is your normal cycle and on which day is ovulation? I've looked on the internet for averages, but who knows where they get their numbers.

I am on CD10 and the CBEFM has not registered an increase yet so I don't know if that's normal. The fertility monitor shows three levels low, peak and ovulation. Since I read that day 12 is the average day, I figured it should be registering "high" by now.

Thanks

I'm text book. 28 day cycle, tend to ovulate around cycle day 13 or 14, with a 14 day luteal phase.

It does seem like soy is making me O just a little sooner.

24 day cycle, ovulate on cd 13 - 11 day LP. When I took clomid I o'ed on CD 14 - when I take soy I ovulate on cd 10.

Mine is all over the place and has ranged from Oing anywhere from CD8-23 and then a 14 day luteal.

I'm all over the place, too. I've O'd anywhere from CD 16 - 28, my luteal phase used to be 12 days, now it's 11, meaning my cycle can range from 27-40 days...

My CBEFM usage this go-round has looked like this:
Dec. 8 cycle, 1st H CD10, P CD20, O CD21
Jan. 9 cycle, 1st H CD 14, P & O CD 19
Feb. 8 cycle, 1st H CD 11, P CD 15, O CD 16

Is it brand new? Did you get it second-hand, and if so, was it fully reset? Is it using info from older cycles of yours (because if so, you wouldn't get H until later)?

Oh, and I wanted to add that now that my CBEFM knows my cycles a little better, these past 2 cycles, my High readings and my EWCM have made their debuts together

HTH!

Thanks for the responses!

Erin, it's not used, I've had it for many years. I reset it after my miscarriage and again this cycle because the previous one was so messed up. We'll see what happens over the next few days.

Where is your siggy? Yours are always sooooooooooo funny!

My periods were about 28 days before when I had my tubes tied. Now since I had my reversal things have been off. I am on CD 21 and I think I might have just ovulated or I am going to ovulate today.

Before when I was TTC my daughter I had 32 day cycles and my lp were ususally 12 days.

About 32-33 days normally...with Ovulation on CD20/21 ...12 day LP

Cait&AngelAbove · #10 February 28th, 2011, 01:02 PM

My cycles are roughly 33 days. O at CD 16-18.

ohnicole · #11 February 28th, 2011, 03:29 PM

Without meds, my cycles were irregular. I would O anywhere from CD19-CD35, and have a 16 day LP. With meds, I'm Oing CD14-16 with a 16 day LP. Hopefully you start seeing some signs of O soon!

Shadeauxe · #12 March 3rd, 2011, 12:36 PM

Well it moved up to high, yay. I don't remember if today is CD13 or CD14, so based on Erin's numbers (she has the same monitor), it's not too far off track. It's been almost 7 years since I used this thing regularly.

missy123 · #13 March 3rd, 2011, 01:29 PM

Does that mean you are ovulating today? sorry, I have never used a monitor, just opk's.

Shadeauxe · #14 March 3rd, 2011, 01:33 PM

No, it's means there's a faint line on the thing vs the control instead of a dark line. So, it could be ramping up. I am just hoping that it's not faking me out.

Erin84 · #15 March 3rd, 2011, 02:18 PM

I THINK that once it starts giving Hs, it won't go back to Ls. I also think that once as you move toward hitting P, the pattern goes H, P, P, H, L. I always quit using it after my first P to save sticks. (Those are the only sticks I scrimp on, though!

)

My cycle has been all whacked out since my D&C. I've had 2 cycles that were 30-31 days, O'd on cd16/17 and had a 14 day LP. Then I've had 2 cycles that were 37-38 days, O'd on cd 23/24 and had a 14 day LP.

Micksbabe · #17 March 3rd, 2011, 03:24 PM

My cycle is messed up too!! I o anywheres from cycle day 18-28 with DD I o'ed on CD 24!! It sucks I can have a 29 day cycle or a 40 day cycle!!!

SillyKitty · #18 March 4th, 2011, 04:56 AM

My cycles are usually 30-32 days, with ovulation between days 16-18.

emsketch · #19 March 4th, 2011, 06:34 AM

My cycles average 31 days. O can vary between cd 12-18. My luteal phase is 14 days.

My cycles before Drew were like that, too. I've been using Soy Isoflavones recently and have had pretty normal cycles, but I think if I don't get my BFP this month, then next month I'm just gonna let my body do what it does and not use the soy. (I will still continue to use other supplements though, just not that one.)
