Clearblue Fertility Monitor users

Help!

Been using this monitor for 9 months as it helped with conceiving my son in 2013.
I have a regular 22-24 day cycle.

I got my first high reading on day10 as usual and today on day18 I am still getting high readings, usually I'd get 2-3 highs and then 2 peak readings.

I did try an opk the last 2 days and theyve all been completely clear - usually an opk would confirm with a faint line and then a positive opk on peak days. But they are completely clear.

My hubby and I have been DTD every night for the last 9 days (despite having a toddler and both being full of bad colds)... And we are both exhausted.

Do you think we have missed ovulation ?

Are there no other fertility monitor users on here ??

Day24 now, so usually my AF would be here about now... Possibly I am 11 DPO (IF I ovulated as I would usually - been regular as clockwork the last 4 cycles)

So regular usually - so I'm surprised that no PEAK was detected, the OPKS I tried also were negative. Unusual for both to miss ovulation - unless maybe I didn't ovulate this month...

Anyone experienced this ?? So confused this cycle... I caved and tried POAS - HPT (IC) and yesterday I'm ashamed to admit a FRER gave me nothing also...

Thoughts ?

We have the clear blue done test and said she was high then done the stick ones and said she wasn't I erased all data by mistake so gotta wait to try it again

Hi Melanie
I have been using the cbfm old one for 2 months. It's a bit confusing, I did find the clear blue ovulation sticks easier.

First month I got highs and then 2 days of peak, all good. Last month I had no peaks and 10 highs!! Luckily I know roughly when the peak is so we just did every other day to cover it. I Googled it and apparently the cbfm can be temperamental the first few months as it 'gets to know you'.

Just FYI, you're better not to do it every night with hubby, every other is better as it can reduce quality of the swimmers. Needs to build up over a day 😉

Hope thud helps a little
Xx

The whole too frequent thing is a myth unless you've got an issue affecting quality of sperm. Only then you might be advised to not bd every day.

I did lots of googling on this as I wanted to know once and for all!

I'm first month using cbfm, I'm really liking it as much prefer poas first thing than remembering to do OPK in the afternoon.

Had 5 highs then 2 peaks and it has all match up with my temping perfectly.
