August 4, 2018 at 7:48 pmHello! I am new to ovacue, currently have a nearly 6 month old baby. She nurses exclusively and I have not had Aunt Flow return yet. Every other baby I have had, my period returns a couple months after breastfeeding stops. And there were a few times I didn’t even get my period before I found out I was pregnant again...twice :) This is our 6th baby and I have recently been having period like cramps, so decided to hop onboard with this monitoring to try to avoid pregnancy. I understand that is not the intended use for this device. But, I am hoping it helps me pick up when I begin to ovulate! Will it confirm ovulation even before a cycle has returned?
With the cue peak, does it have to be a high peak number followed by 2 lower numbers decreasing more each day....or just 2 lower numbers than the highest peak number? (Say I got a 165,105,110 or a sequence like 165,100,95). I see my vaginal readings have trended downward after what I think looks like 2 cue peaks. What do you think? I am still cramping! And I take my oral reading first thing in morning around 7am, while vaginal reading at 9pm. Thank you!!

August 5, 2018 at 7:22 pmTonight populated a pink box!! Confirmed ovulation! Do you think that will be pretty accurate if the vaginal readings continue to trend upward?

August 14, 2018 at 2:01 pmFollowing! I’m new as well and still need to learn a LOT about NFP or FAM. Just had our first, he’s 3 mo and starting to sleep through the night. I ebf, but also have seen info that I could begin ovulating if I go longer stretches btw feedings at night. Interested in learning how to chart but have no clue where to start. Help!

August 14, 2018 at 8:03 pmHi! Congratulations on your first baby! How awesome babe is sleeping through the night. I have not been so lucky! Lol. Well, hey, if I were you, I would pick up the book “Taking Charge of your Fertility” by Toni Weschler I believe. It contains so so much info to help you get started. Also, I found kellymom.com extremely helpful. It is a breastfeeding support group led by a physician. Typically a woman will begin to ovulate a few months prior to getting her period back. 15 months is what research has shown, when a woman will start to get the ovulation going again even if they haven’t seen the period yet. Look at kellymom!! It is a big help for breastfeeding mamas. Keep in touch. Let’s figure this out:)
