My fertility monitor has given me 8 "low" readings in a row.


This is my 1st cycle after my laparoscopy so I kind of expected everything to be a little different, but I am starting to get concerned that I haven't gotten a "high" or "peak" reading yet. My temps are still down.
I'm not that worried just a little curious as to when I'm going to ovulate. The latest I've ever O'd was CD17 so I'm still in the game, just impatient I guess LOL
Before my lap surgery, I was averaging O on CD 15 and getting at least a high reading by around CD11. I am CD13 today and still no high or peak.

I just wanted to vent.

Also -- what happens if I still haven't gotten a "high" by the 10th test day? Today was my 8th test day and I think the monitor usually tests for 10 days right? Hmmm

Meg I went a cycle with only low readings. I was also using OPK's at the time. Your cycle could just be a little off. I am sure others will pop in and giver more info.

If you go more than 10 days, it asks for another 10 sticks. Sometimes, Clomid can make people O a bit late . . .up to day 22.

It is also possible that the monitor is confused a bit because your hormones are different than prior months because of the Clomid. I'd say be patient - CD 13 is still early . . . you could get high tomorrow, then peak, or it could be funky and go straight to peak this month. GL!

Your lap could have delayed O.

I used my monitor a lot with clomid and on cycles with all lows, they were usually anovulatory. If you ovulate regularly then I'd say you have some more time.

Thanks for your feedback, girls!

There was a little confusion though...I'm not on Clomid. I ovulate on my own, and usually pretty regularly. I'm sure it must be just my hormones off track because of my Laparoscopy which was just 17 days ago. I started my period 4 days after my surgery which was about 5 days early, and now it seems like I'm going to ovulate late.

This morning was "low" again on the clearblue easy fertility monitor
But I am getting some really good CM...I don't get it -- how can I be getting fertile CM without at least a detectable rise in estrogen???

Me and hubby are doing the sperm meets egg plan this cycle anyway so we should be fine and hit my fertile days without wearing ourselves out.
AHHHHHHhhhhhshshhHhHHHh this is frustrating though

Thanks again ladies...keep the input coming I need something to keep me sane

I understand ur frustration Meg, there were times when I was using the monitor and I never thought I was going to get a 'High' reading.

I went about 8 or 9 days before I got a 'High' reading and I was having CM changes, but the monitor never picked that up.

I would say that the Lap has thrown off ur cy this month, so try and have patience, u will O hon, just give it some time .

Keep us posted ok

Congrats, I didn't realize you were pregnant! YAY


As for me...I think I o'd.

It was weird -- my fertility monitor went from 9 "low" readings straight to the "peak" reading on Friday morning.
ALSO -- along with the "peak reading" on Fri came a big temp spike making me think I had already O'd. So I wonder why would the monitor detect the surge if I had already O'd?
We still BD'd just to cover our bases and we are still going to just in cases.

Anyway just an update.
And thanks for your feedback!
