Ovulation

Ok, so I started using my CBE monitor last month and I worked fine. It went from low to mid to high fertility on day 13-14. This month I am on day 15 and I am still showing low on my monitor. What is wrong? I could have sworn that I had O pains 2 days ago but nothing registered. Of course I am super frustrated because this was out month to start trying and since we would love to have a boy I am trying to time things. I will continye to test even if this month is a no go.

FYI- My monitor is new so I am the only user.

HELP!

Do you temp at all? I find that temping is helpful in this type of situation.

It's possible that your fm missed the peak, yet you ovulated. I bet that may have happened since it's saying low now. Did you watch the sticks?

Oh wait, I think I misread your post. You are only getting Lows, right? What does the stick look like? Would an anovulatory cycle be unusual for you? Watch the sticks and see how they change. You could be Oing a few days later.

I was able to predict anovulatory cycles based on the lines. When changes weren't happening, O wasn't going to.

yes, all I am getting is low days. I can see 2 lines but I am not sure that means anything since the are the ones you feed into the monitor.

I am going to stop and getting some non-monitor sticks and see what happens.

I have not been taking my temp so I haven't been charting.

How do the lines compare? Technically, you aren't supposed to watch them, but you can still see the changes as O approaches.

I can watch the lh line gradually get darker as the estrogen line gets a little lighter.

The lines have not been the same shade. The first line is always much darker.

I actually got a high fertility this morning, so I am hoping that it is a sign that I am going to ovulate soon and not have missed the boat.
