TTC after 35

Tips please CBEFM

This is my first month using CBEFM. Who knew my cycle shrunk down to 25 days? Two cycles in a row now. Maybe it's the timing... I sure hope so! Anyways, I'm hoping this cool little machine can give me a clue. I'm on CD4 and all is well. Any tips that work for you with this thing? TIA

Re: Tips please CBEFM

  • No other tips really - just take the time to give the instructions a really good read (if you haven't already).

    It takes a couple of cycles for it to figure you out.

    And, if you think you might be inclined to forget - lay the stick out the night before.

    GL!

    Ladies, when you use this machine, do you use first morning pee?

    I only used the OTC ovulation kits once because they called for afternoon pee, after not drinking much and holding it for four hours. I lead a drink and pee freely lifestyle!

    Thanks!

    Yup, FMU only. Much easier, imo.

  • Thanks ladies for the tips! I really appreciate it. What I meant by my shrinking cycle is that now after my first child I've gone down to a 25 day cycle. Before her I was a 28 day on the nose. I didn't get my AF back until she 13 months and from then on it's been shrinking.
  • I recommend the PIAC method too.  It's easier for me to track the time and make sure it's saturated enough first thing in the morning.

    FWIW...I used OPK's with FMU as directed by my RE and got good results....I would also do one later in the day just to double check ;)
