I think mine is broken. The test this morning looked positive to me, but it's still just listing "high" instead of "peak". It did the same thing to me last month. Never gave me a positive and the only backups I had were the smiley ones, but the reader was definitely broken. The test looked positive to me then too.

I just used one of the cheap ones I have and it definitely looks positive. Anyone else experience this with the CBEFM? I know that not many people use it. I bought it almost 7 years ago (and reset it twice) before there were a lot of these cheap tests. I really don't think it's worth the extra money now.

CD16 for me, same as the positive from last month, so I am going to call this a pattern.

I just got my CBEFM right before pumpkin so I haven't had a chance to use it. I plan on using right after I get my cycle back so I can see how it is going to read. I planning on back it up with some other OPK's. I wish I had some answers for you. Good luck catching the little eggie.

I always got a + OPK the day before a P on the monitor, but I did eventually get the P.

Ok, I'll see what happens tomorrow. Maybe it's adjusting for the time of actual ovulation (24 hrs after LH surge)? Last month I stopped the CBEFM after I got the +opk.

I had the same problem with my monitor! The first month I ever used it, it worked great, then after that the test should of been peak and it wasn't! mine would go from low to peak, never high....I think i'm going to sell mine and if (god forbid) I ever have to TTC again i'll just use OPK's...I don't think it's worth it at all (I did get pregnant the first month trying when I first used my monitor), but that must of been pure luck.

I had that problem several times. The month I got pregnant I never got a peak reading only high. Most months I would never get peak but would get the positive smiley on opks.

I don't use them but that sucks that it isn't working right. I would go off the OPK's. But yay for Oing
