Either my CBEFM or my cycle is wacky

I dunno. I have been using this thing for over a year , maybe I wore it out. I have been getting my "egg" really early lately like CD9 & 10. Last month I had to cancel my HSG because I got my egg and they would not do the test. I just got AF last Friday, and today is CD7, and I got a low reading yesterday and this morning high. I swore yesterday I saw (TMI WARNING!!) white gooey stuff floating in the bowl after I peed. I don't know whats going on, I feel like I am way off here. I always reset it to day 1 on my first flow day. I am afraid I am going to get my egg and have to cancel HSG again, or I am afraid something is off and what if I am ovulating when they do the HSG and something goes wrong?! ANyone know how to reset the whole monitor and wipe out the memory? I may have to do that next cycle. I just bought the CB smiley OPK, should I use it? The CBEFM monitor stick had 2 blue lines also this morning. I know they say not to read the sticks, but I notice when I am oing they always have 2 lines. I am losing it. Am I losing it? I am.
This on top of finding out I am chromosomally challenged and have to see a genetics counselor on Thursday.

Do you have really short cycles?

Resetting the CBEFM:

1. Remove the plastic cap from one end of a clean-unused-test-stick and snap the cap onto the other end of stick. Inset the test stick into the test stick slot of the monitor. The beveled corner on the insertion end of the stick must face in toward the monitor. THE STICK MUST SNAP INTO PLACE TO PERFORM PROPERLY . The monitor should not be turned until step 2.

2. Press and hold the "M" button. Continue pressing the "M" button while turning the monitor on. NOTE: Do not take finger off the "m" button until these directions say to do so in STEP 5.

3. The screen will show the "remove the test stick" symbol (a flashing test stick with an arrow pointing right). Continue pressing "M".

4. Keep pressing the "M" button and in about 20 seconds, you will see a screen full of symbols. The screen will also display these symbols when you initially turn the monitor on for the FIRST time. This indicates the memory is now cleared of all prior data.

5. Remove the test stick first and then QUICKLY release your finger from the "M" button. The memory should now be cleared.

6. Your screen should display a flashing "M" and one or two dashes. If it does not, it will probably show a "1" and an "M" in a non-flashing mode. If so, you will need to repeat all steps of the process. This procedure may take several times before you successfully reset the unit to its “new” state.

7. Start using the monitor on CD 1 as per the instruction booklet.

I used to get my egg say around day 11-15. Lately I have been getting it like day 10, or 9! I just dont know if the monitor is off kilter here or if I am. I just had AF on Friday (last) 7 days ago. I bleed 3 days. I know I am going to get my egg by Monday and I will have to cancel HSG again, I just KNOW it! I have this fear of having the HSG and I am ovualting or about to and they blow this dye through my tubes and something horrible happens.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this?

I think you said last time they confirmed that you were in fact ovulating that early, right?

How many days are your cycles in total?

I have had a few months of getting peak with my monitor early. I have been using CBE digital along with it and it backs it up for me.

Honestly I really onlyuse the monitor to see when I am ovulating. My cycles have always been 28 days but I have been on CD 21 like 2x where I got my AF. Normally,I am 28 days. Last few months I have gotten my egg very early. Yesterday was CD6, I got a low reading. High today on CD7. And saw slimy stuff when I peed. This is ridiculous!
