Clearblue Easy Monitor Question...?

I went off the pill three months ago. I didn't use my monitor the first month off. The second month I used it and it never peaked, ok maybe just strange period without ovulation,but my period came on day 30. Month two, current, day 21 now and still high since day 17 and I am scared month one is happening again no peak so far...has this ever happened to anyone else?I already have one baby and it worked WONDERS to conceive her! This is just making me crazy now....

Update:

I am using the monitor and it only took 2 cycles with my first. I guess I just wonder if you can have a cycle without ovulating! Is that even possible?

    Your cycle will be a little wacky at first and you should at least give it a good 3 months to get back to normal.

    I use the clear blue digital...so easy to use.Be sure you are testing the same time each day like 1pm works good everyday.Try not to drink too much fluids as well up to testing.You may pay a little more money but for you,you may have to test more often to be sure you don't miss the surge since your periods are off.I would get the months supply.I got one for $30 at cvs.

    No luck yet so far though for me:(I have 2 children already without much work though this 3rd one seems to be taking forever which is why I choose to use the kits.

    How long using them did you conceive your first child,just curious?When did you have sex and how often?I am desperate as we have been trying for 17 months now and I just started using opk 3 months now.I do have a doc appointment next month.

    Here is what I found for you at ivillage.com

    Can you fail to ovulate in your cycle, but still get your period?

    Question:

    The quick answer is, “ Yes, sort of," but the more biologically correct answer is that you can fail to ovulate, but still have anovulatory bleeding. Technically speaking, a period is the bleeding that occurs about 12 to 16 days after the release of an egg. If no egg is released, it is not really a period that follows, but anovulatory bleeding.

    There is a huge difference between cycles in which the woman ovulates but does not get her period, and one in which she gets her period but does not ovulate. What is that difference? In the former case, the woman is almost certainly pregnant. In the latter case, she has had an anovulatory cycle.

    In anovulatory cycles, non-charting women may assume they are menstruating normally, so why would they continue to experience bleeding if ovulation has not occurred? Such bleeding results when estrogen production continues to develop the uterine lining without reaching the threshold necessary to trigger ovulation. In such a case, one of two things may happen, which leads to what appears to be a menstrual period.

    Either the estrogen will build up slowly to a point below the threshold and then drop, resulting in "estrogen withdrawal bleeding," or more commonly, the endometrium builds up slowly over an extended period of time, eventually to the point where the resulting uterine lining is so thickened it can no longer sustain itself. This is known as "estrogen breakthrough bleeding." In either case, if you weren't charting, you might think you were simply menstruating, though you would maybe notice a difference in the type of bleeding. Specifically the flow can be either unusually heavy or light and of course, the timing can result in cycle lengths all over the map (or the chart).

    I have a buddy who used Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor and he or she paid approximately $250 for the exact track after which she spent like $50 extra on the grounds that I bet you wish to have a few checking out strips anyways she stated the track demands to get used to a minimum of 3 of your cycles in step with the information you enter, she bought pregnant at the moment month of utilising this procedure. Good Luck!
