    Can anyone advise me?

    I'm thinking of buying a CBFM. How much did you spend on yours?

    I've just been looking online and Amazon have one for ??65 but I would obviously have to wait for it to be delivered. I'm on the second day of my cycle, is it too late to start using it this month? Would I be better spending more on one from boots this month than waiting for it to be delivered from Amazon?

    Thanks everyone xx

    I got mine from chemist direct online, i think it was about ??60, you do have to buy the test sticks seperately.
    Amazon offer a quick delivery service if you want to pay for it!
    You can start using it from cd6 so youve just abot got time, if you hurry!! lol. xxxx

    Ok you set the moniter from CD1, I think I may have read that some women who have a slightly longer cycle may have set it a bit later but dont quote me on that.
    Once you get to about CD6 it will ask you to start POAS you insert this & it reads your hormone level. Some women will use 10 sticks women with longer cycles will use 20.

    When you set the moniter you set it at a time that gives you a testing window of 3 hrs each side.

    I got mine anyway & if i didnt need it then was just going to pass it on to someone here or sell it online, so you could maybe order one & if you dont need it do the same.

    Hope that helps a bit hun, how you feeling today, did the strippers cheer you up? xx

    Thanks girls that is brilliant think I will order one now and get started! Didnt want to order one last month in the hope I would get my BFP but was worried I had left it too late by the time AF had shown up!

    I do have long cycles so maybe it wont hurt anyway, normally dont ov until cd18 or so.

    Thank you so much for all your replies.

    Yes, the strippers cheered me up loads thanks laujai. Did you test again? Hope your BFP is just round the corner.

    Hi Wiz,

    That's good, you may use 20 sticks then instead of 10. I have a 32-35 cycle & used mine for the 1st time this cycle, I used all 20 sticks but I do love the cbfm!!

    Glad your feeling much better hun. I tested today bfn, I have no idea what is goin on with my body, I had to have a nap today again, oh just txt saying thats a good sign LOL, last time i was this hungry, moody & tired was due to pg!! Im sure that with these symptoms then a test would be a definate +ve by now xxxx

    grr that's so annoying, hope it's a shy BFP. Especially when you are feeling like that.

    Keep testing, like everyone says it's not over until AF turns up.


    Do you think ??65 on Amazon for CBFM is alright price?

    no, that's without sticks. Maybe I might find it cheaper from boots or superdrug.

    i'll keep an eye out early next week for your BFP!!!

    I think Boots are quite pricey hun & superdrug, if you check online. ??65 is probably the cheapest you'll find, do you have an amazon account already, I got my sticks from them around ??12.00 which is good & I signed up for amazon prime trial period so was able to get free delivery on some items x
