Hello Samrakkar, I used these for a while. My cycle is pretty regular (between 28 and 30 days). I usually got a 'peak' around about day 15 so I would keep going for a bit. Although it was pretty accurate I found it could vary by a day or so from month to month. Plus the stress of all these procedures can knock your cycle for 6!

Are you using the dual hormone indicator? If so, have you had any 'high'fertile days?

Good luck! x

I would definitely keep going. If you don't get a peak then next month I would suggest trying the clear blue dual hormone indicator.

The next bit is probably tmi but on the basis it might help I'm going to share! We used billings method when we were ttc naturally. It basically involves monitoring your cervical mucus which changes and starts to look like egg whites around ovulation. The changes to my mucus would usually coincide with a 'peak' on the fertility monitor. Not everyone gets this change so it's not fool proof but it might be useful. Sorry it's a bit gross!!!

I used to have quite a few high days before my peak so keep going. If you don't get a peak this month, try again next month and if there's still nothing I would see your GP.

Have you had the 21 day blood test to confirm you are ovulating? x

Thanks for reply. I did have the 21 day blood tests and it was fine my doctor told me. I missed the moniter one day could you be peak for one day only!

The dual hormone one is good as it shows you high fertility days as well as peak ones. So high is when your body is 'gearing up' and usually you get 2-3 high fertility days before you ovulate so you can have sex in plenty of time. Then it tells you the peak fertility ie that you will ovulate within next 36 hours. It gives a flashing smiley face on high days and a solid smiley face on peak (ovulation) day. I am back on them after our mc. When I used them before, I tended not to ovulate till day 15/16 so of course it may not be day 14. I am on cd 12 now and have had 3 days of high fertility so far- hoping this is a good sign I'm back on track :)

Hang in there. Xx

I say sometime just keep having sex, hubby is happy and you never know it only takes one😁

In the down side sometimes all this is just too much have to make light of it somewhere or it will eat you up.

Keep going stay strong to us all 😘
