TTC using clearplan fertility monior

July 01, 2008

If I become pregnant without knowing while using the Clearblue fertility monitor will it affect the results of the ovulation results? This is my first month using the monitor and I have had High fertility levels since day 6 of this cycle...it is now day 10. You may think this is too early to ovulate but I will give you a bit more history...

I have been trying to conceive for a full year; on May 16 I started having light bleeding (started on day 24 of that cycle). The bleeding lasted up until my regular period came (June 2). My regular period was very heavy but very late (40 days after my last "normal" period).

The heavy bleeding lasted 9 days (June 10). After that there was no blood for 12 days then on June 22 (day 21 since first day of heavy bleeding) I started a period again. So I counted that as day one and started using the Clearblue fertility monitor. So I am so confused as to what day I am truly on and what is going on with my body.

I have been tracking my cycles for the past year and they range from 21 days to 44 days.

Not sure about the bleeding.... but I use the monitor too..I have had up to 10 days of high readings before I get a peak...sometime I ovulate and the monitor dosn't even show a peak. (I temp thats how I know I ovulate) It's normal to get several days of high readings before peaking.

Welcome to FertilityTies Melissa!

Think it is time to see a doc more than anything to get testing done to make sure everything is ok given that you've been ttc for over a year...

Good luck, and keep us posted..

I also use the clear blue monitor but I wouldnt count on the first month being right on, as the monitor takes a few months to actually get used to your cycle.

July 01, 2008

July 01, 2008

how long u been useing the monitor

July 01, 2008

Chick it was a clearblue monitor..it was just not the one I have now. I sold the first one I had. thinking I didn't really need it. We have been TTC for 10 months now...since Sept 2007

Will pregnancy effect the ovulation monitor results to show only peak days?

September 18, 2008

Jennifer.. if ur preggo then u would get a dark line on the LH surge b/c the OPK's and HPT are so close to what they are testing for. It only differs from a few chemcials as for what i have read.

September 18, 2008

oh ok thanks cause I feel pregnant, the pregnancy tests say negative, I missed my period(had spotting) but the fertility sticks are very dark. So should I maybe get a blood test?

September 18, 2008

Jennifer.... how many days are u late? When was ur period due? It is not a good idea to go by the OPK's if u think that ur preggo tho.

I would suggest waiting a few more days then taking another HPT to see what happens.

If u O'ed later then what u thought that could be why u think that ur late. A doc will not do a blood test until ur a week or 2 late.

Good luck!

September 18, 2008

a week and a half late. I know with my last child I didnt get a positive right away but I cant remember how long it took to show up.Should I try a different test brand?

September 18, 2008

Jennier.. not sure what HPT that u have used but if ur a week and a half late then any HPT should be accurate by now.

Do u knw when u ovulated this month?

September 18, 2008

I ovulated at the end of august

September 19, 2008

Jennifer.. depending on how long ur cycles then that should tell u when af is coming.

Also, u should get ur period about 14 days after u ovulate give or take a day or 2. So if u count those days and ur late then I would test again.

If nothing by next week then I would call ur doc.
