CBEFM

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months now.  This is my first month using the CBEFM.  I have been getting a high fertility ever since day 12 and it is now day 19.  I have yet to see peak.  My cycle is only 26 days, can I still conceive without seeing a peak?  Is it too late to conceive if I do ovulate b/c it is so close to my period?

I've never used a fertility monitor before, but you might just have a longer cycle this month. Have you tried OPKs?

Yes, you can still conceive without seeing a peak. Some months I don't get a peak and definitely o. I think sometimes the surge happens later in the day and the monitor doesn't catch it since it only uses fmu. The monitor automatically goes to high during normal fertile window. I usually use opks along with the cbefm and do them around 5pm. Often times I get my pos ok and still only high on the monitor. I also bbt, so the temp shift confirms it was really o. I hope next cycle shows peak for you. Those darn sticks are so expensive to not get the info you bought it for.

Thank you so much for your advice, I really hope this month is it!  What a wonderful Christmas present that would be:)

Thanks!  I used  OPK's with my first child and it never showed that I was ovulating, so I am hoping that I did:)
