Hi,

I've been reading the posts for a few weeks and getting to know everyone's ups and downs.

My husband and I have been ttc since we got married on 29th March this year so that means this is month 6 now starting for me.

I bought a clearblue fertility monitor on Ebay last month and used it from day 6 right through to day 33 before giving up (I always thought I had a very long cycle but reading some of these posts makes me realise I'm not unusual with my 35+ day cycles).

The monitor gave me a high reading from day 14 right through to when my AF was due but I didn't get a peak, hopefully it's just because we're getting to know each other! I'm on day 7 now and will start testing again on day 10 so hopefully this month I might see the EGG which represents OV.

I'm still feeling quite relaxed about ttc although I do get a bit obsessive symptom spotting when I'm due my AF.

My OH is 37 (he has a son from a previous marriage) and I'm 33 with no kids..yet...

I'm glad I've found you all

Hi Sonpix

Welcome to the forum. We are all really great on here I'm sure that we could write a book collectivly with all the experience and advice!

Good luck with the CBM I think there are a few ladies on here using them.

Hope you aren' trying very long and have your BFP really soon.

Warm wishes

Welcome Sonpix! I'm a fellow CBFM user - on month 2 of using it, on month 5 of TTC. We have been trying since our wedding which was only a week after yours - 5 April.

Good luck getting that peak on the monitor, and fingers crossed for a BFP soon.

Hey and welcome

I have started using the monitor this month from cd2 (classed as day 1 on the monitor as i started during the day at work and started the monitor the following morning). I was asked to test on monitor day 6, got a low on 6 and 7 and then highs on 8 - 18 and then peak on 19 and 20. im on monitor day 21 today and im back to high and am expecting to be low by 22/23.

Whats unusual to me is that i have ovulated really late so maybe im having a longer cycle this month or i have a shorter luteal phase than i realised.

You say you wont start testing until day 10 - why is this? also did you abandon the monitor halfway through the cycle? if so it will need to be reset and started again..... maybe im confused????

Hope you are well x x
