Clearblue Fertility Monitor - 1st Month

in TTC after 35
I've been charting BBT for a few months, and based on that and CM, I figure I O'd three days ago. This is my first month using the fertility monitor. I didn't get a peak this month, and I understand this is normal. Since I believe my peak fertility has passed for August, do I need to keep testing each morning or is it a waste of sticks? It keeps asking for them, and I don't know if this is just part of the "getting to know you" phase or if it just won't stop until I get a peak (which I don't expect until next month). Thoughts?

    agree - don't waste the sticks.  your temp is a way better gauge.  on my first month it had me "peak" way earlier than what really happened - so first month was a waste.  save the sticks - they are expensive!

    I just got a reading of "high" on day 6, my first day of testing, and I am still spotting!  Bummed to hear the first month is a waste.

    I got a peak during my first month, BUT....when I had a CP, the next cycle I was reading High for days. I finally showed a PEAK at like day 20-21.  I don't know if I really ovulated then, because my CM was good at around day 13-14.  But, AF didn't show until day 31 and my cycles are never normally that long.  Needless to say we didn't get pregnant that month.  I also do OPK's along side the monitor just to check with temping. So this month, I will know what is exactly going on if AF is late or its something more.
