Anyone use the CBEFM?

SaintCitySaintCity
in TTC after 35

Just curious if anyone has tried it or had any success with it.  I don't see much written about it on these boards.

TIA!

    I use one & love it!  This is my 3rd cycle using it.  It's easy to use & read.  The only downside that I have found is that the test sticks are kind of pricey, but I figure that if it helps me get pregnant, than I don't care how much it costs.  Big Smile

    I use it.  This is my third cycle.  I think that if I was ovulating that I would love it.  However, right now it is one more reminder that my body sees to forgotten how to do that.

    i like it and had success with it the first time around.

    besides the cost, the other downside is that it isn't recommended if you use ANY fertility meds ... so i couldn't use mine for many cycles this time around.

    Ditto JordanAlmond.You may not hear much about it here as it is pretty pointless if you are doing treatment.  A trigger shot will register a peak and the instructions say clomid will mess with it.

    So, are most people on this board doing treatment?

    Not everyone is doing treatments, but unfortunately a lot are.  It seems to go with the territory of being over 35 & TTC.  Sad

    I used one for 2 out of the 3 yrs we tried to conceive and had stopped using it by the time I got pregnant.  It worked great for telling me my fertile time but my cycles were pretty regular and after a year of temping, the CBEFM only confirmed what I already knew about my most likely ovulation days.   It wasn't a miracle cure for me but if you have any doubts about when you're ovulating, then it might be a worthwhile investment for you.  Temping will only tell you after the fact that you ovulated.  I never had success with the OPK sticks either.  They were too hard to catch my surge but the CBEFM worked every month.
