question about CPFM

[wannabmomagain]

Hey girls!!
I was just wondering if someone can help me out here with a simple question....

Well i have been using the CPFM for about 6mnths...i missed a few tests here and there, but over all i've got most when it asked...anyways I've seen high for 3 days but then next day it goes back to low, never offically ever saw peak. My question is, is it possible to have a short surge? and be able to still get pregnant? remember i've been ttc#2 it's a year on March 4th.

Any inputs are really appreciated!! thanks

have you been using the monitor consecutively for 6 mos, with no breaks inbetween? also, where were the few tests that you missed? i'd like to venture to say that missing a few tests can definitely interfere with accurate readings.

if you[ve been using the monitor consecutively then it's calibrated to read your levels and recognize certain changes on certian cd's. by missing a few tests, you may have very well 'confused' your monitor. the monitor is only as accurate as the info you provide.

if the tests you missed were within the last week, i would go ahead and assume that it's just not picking up your surge. do you have any other bodily signs, and do you BBT?

it sounds like you must be right there,. especially if you get those O pains. i get them too. there's no mistaking them

i'm sure it's possible to get a short surge. our bodies are not machines (as much as we'd like them to be) and sometimes they don't do exactly what we're expecting them to do.

your temp is down today and that can also be indicative of O. your temps for the next few days will definitely fill in the blanks.

i would BMS for the next couple of days until you're sure that you've O. best wishes!!!
