Woohoo! So exciting. I begged my hubs to let me buy one (I even put a secret bid in on eBay), but no such luck yet. I hope it works wonders for you!

@JoJoGirl: so exciting!! You can be my CBEFM tutor It didn't have any batteries in it, and it takes 4 AAA, but i only had 3 new ones, so I grabbed an old one that I knew was dead & threw it in there with the new ones but it won't turn on
so I have to get some more batteries today! Also gotta get AF goin so I can start it. Are you loving yours so far?

@mrs. bird: I'm a little annoyed it made me start testing so early in my cycle since *I* know I don't O til CD20 or 21 usually, so it feels a bit like I'm wasting sticks. And they are so small I keep peeing on myself haha. Time to switch to a dixie cup maybe. Other than that, YES!!!! It's amazing how my level of stress has come down knowing I don't need to worry if I should start my OPKs on CD10 or CD15 or whatever, I just feel like my bases are covered. Love it!

@JoJoGirl, best of luck with the CBEFM! I've been using it since last September, and it has been helpful for timing things and verifying my temps.
I had to use 20 sticks for the first cycle, but ever since then it's only been 10 sticks each month.

@mrsbird how exciting! Check the way you put in the batteries because on my monitor you had to put them in opposite the normal way.
@jojogirl the sticks are super small! I really have to wake up and focus to prevent a mess. You will probably have to do 20 sticks this time but they're worth it in the end. I bought 2 boxes to start with.

@ambular1025: I need to get some latex gloves or something, it's ridiculous.

@JoJoGirl: Just wanted to pipe up that you will absolutely want to use a dixie cup...Sometimes you can get an error if there is say - too much pee on the stick....This happened to me in the first month I used the monitor and I was freaking out wondering if it messed anything up, because it resulted in me having to skip a day on the monitor...Stress! So I would suggest doing the cup in case the monitor can't read your one-and-only-peestick at some point. It will just flash an error on the screen instead of telling you low/med/high.

@jholler25: good to know! I usually sit there counting the 3 seconds, but sometimes it's hard for me to tell if I really hit it, so I hold it an extra second or two. No error yet, luckily. That would make me so annoyed.
