CBFM Buddy

[jchic]

The faint line on the OPK that appeared yesterday has now gone..... is it possible that me (and cbfm) missed the surge?? I am hoping and praying we did, and that I don't get a peak, and just get a bfp at the end!!

Good luck Chicky! Not long to wait now not sure why we put ourselves through the early tests!

Smyth- good luck with the SA results! And enjoy your vacation! x

The monitor missed my surge (peak) one cycle, it definitely happens

Tink - a faint line on an OPK is NOT positive - it doesn't mean much. The line can fade in and out, but until it's the same color or darker than the control line, it doesn't mean you are surging.

Smyth! Have fun in Vegas! Great time to go, before it gets to hot. Maybe you'll O while at O!

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Thanks Daisy. I just thought I might have had a short surge at a funny time of day. I hardly ever get any type of line, faint or otherwise! Not bothered at this stage unless I am still struggling to conceive in june x

 

[DaisyQ]

I would use the OPKs in the afternoon or evening, and only once you start getting highs on the monitor. To see a true positive, check out Creative's OPKs on this thread or in her journal.

Haha this made me laugh!

Hey - this was my OPK progression from last month, for reference.

Hey all,

Just dropping in to say hi. Hope every one is doing well?

Daisy hon, I have a good feeling about you this month.

Smyth...go to Vegas and forget all your stress, eat drink and party like I did at Christmas fire the first time in months and you might have a party baby when you get back.

Creative / jchic how's things?

No real news for me. We had the option of a specialist scan on Friday to see regarding the downs syndrome risk but since its not a definite yes or no we canceled. Its all part of Gods plan do who am I to doubt or worry?

Next scan is twenty Weeks, four Weeks away now and that's a mandatory growth scan. Deaf excited can't wait. After that I will allow myself to go a bit mental and but all the baby things I desire, before that we are abstaining!

Lots of love x

PS funny story. Best friend is twenty Weeks and went four her scan.the image was so clear they could literally see a perfect set of balls! The sonographer actually said I dint think I need to tell you the gender one way it the other! Baby keepT bouncing up and down and all you could see were man parts. Very funny and now she is upset its not a surprise but there was nothing anyone could do!

 

[DaisyQ]

Happy that's an awesome story! Excited for you - you are getting so far along now! Yay!

 

[Mrs.B.]

Haha! I hope my 20 week is that clear not long now then til yours! Will you be finding out or keeping a secret? X

Hi how's everyone doing? AF showed her ugly face today, with my cbfm reading a High this morning yet again! Starting my last natural clomid cycle before going on to SO-IUI.

Do you think I should reset the monitor? It's been so out of whack this month!

AF got me this morning too. I wouldn't reset it hun as it takes a few months to adjust to your body.

 

[jchic]

Anxiously, I am sorry AF got you hun When are you going to the doc to discuss IUI? Take it easy and have a nice glass of wine tonight! xx

I wish I could enjoy some wine but I'm allergic to it I've actually discussed with my doc last cycle on the next steps and will definitely go for IUI if this clomid cycle fails again. I had conceived successfully on IUI before so the doc wants me to try again before going down the IVF route.

Just had a tearfest in the shower, wallowing in self-pity. This whole TTC business is wearing me off.

Anxiously - this journey is NOT easy...I just posted this quote in Creatives journal - You have to be courageous!
Courage is not the towering oak
That sees storms come and go,
It is the fragile blossom
That opens in the snow
-- Alice MacKenzie Swaim

You will get there. Its a long, windy, bumpy heck of a road, but we all will get there. At the end, it will be worth it!

Hi Anxiously. I'm having a wallow fest myself. Tested today, and BFN. I am 12 DPO and 13 DPIUI. I have to wait until Friday (14 DPO) to "officially" test, and if negative I'm to stop progesterone supplementation and wait for AF, which should arrive on Saturday. I'm really sad.

As for your CBFM, don't reset. It just missed your surge. The monitor, once it reads "high" from your estrogen levels, wills stay high until it picks up your LH surge (peak), or until it's gone through 20 sticks and automatically reverts to low, or in your case this month - AF arrives. At least when you know estrogen is surging, you can BD every other day to cover your bases.

It sounds like IUI is a great plan for you since it worked before.

How many attempts did it take?

I'm honestly feeling so gloomy about ever getting a BFP.

hey all,

im absolutely LIVID with myself. I dont know if i told you this but i have been vegetarian since i was 13 as i dont like meat.

anyhoo since i got pregannt i cant stop eating meat, In particular pepperoni and hot dogs.........

you may see the problem here.

i didnt know pregnant women are not supposed to eat hot dogs or pepperoni!!! i hadnt researched meat as i never ate it before hand.

and now i know its a MASSIVE source of listeria and toxoplasmosis!!! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

i feel dead worried especially as i have a cold today! its a symptom! what do i do?!

xxx

 

[DaisyQ]

Don't worry, Happy I'm sure you are fine. If you had listeria poisoning, you'd be sick to your stomach. Just avoid it here on out.

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Aww Anxiously so sorry the witch flew in- hope this cycle is a successful one and cbfm peaks!! I'll let you know how much longer it goes on for for me!

Sorry Creative, better luck this cycle.

Ahh Daisy try not to be too disheartened- hope you get a bfp Friday x

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

HAppy....slow down, you are fine hun! I ate them all the time when I was pregnant. As well as cold lunch meat, which your not suppose to have either...they say to heat it up before you eat it, which I found was just gross when having a ham sandwich I think the chance is slim. I never had a problem and I always ate them. Your going to be fine
