CBFM Buddy

[tinkerbellsie]

Welcome Meado- sending you lots of for the coming cycle.

Well my doctor's urine tesst was negative!

I set my cbfm to CDs day before yesterday and it asked for a stick this afternoon (I thought I'd set it for after work lol)... But its high and the lh line is almost as daark as the oestrogen line (which is quite light). I am so confused!!!!

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Now I am just bloody confused

[Mrs.B.]

No idea what to say hun!!

 

[chicky160]

Oh tink what on earth is going on with your body!?! Would they not do a blood test? was there no line at all on the docs test?

Thank you Briss I hope so too and it seems like ur hubby might be coming round especially is he agreed to start a healthy diet and I know you say you forced him but if he really didn't want to then it wouldve been a flat no! I think things will really start to go in the right direction for you now hun

Welcome meado!

Afm af is horrible again but optimistic this time next week we will have completed our first sa! So another step closer I hope. Will just have to get up early in case he will need that special little pill in other news our whole family is being sent for genetic testing, because of all the cancer so I'm really crossing everything that we can get hubby better firat an foremost and get the treatment ball rolling before we get too far into that! Xxx

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Thanks Mrs B

Thanks Chicky No, they said they wouldn't do a blood test unless the urine test was inconclusive.. I have no idea if there was anything at all on it as had to hand it in. I don't get it. I am just going to try not to think about it (hahahahahahahaha) and use my cbfm to see if I get a peak.. (prob cheaper than testing!) and carry on with ICs until I get a proper AF or a positive. If nothing either way in 2 weeks I will change doctors (cos they are rubbish) and request bloods.

Sorry AF is so rubbish but yay re: sperm sample soon (that has come around so so quick!) And good luck with all the testing xxx

 

[happyh29]

tinks wait a week, if no period take another test - the line should be darker then. and then take that to the doctors to show him / her and demand a hcg......ive got to be honest the line should be darker than what you have shown so im totally confused

xxxx

 

[tinkerbellsie]

I know it should be darker that's why I am so totally confused...but its consistent and still there... so I guess I have to keep some hope...especially as symptoms still here and AF is staying away! I just don't understand though to be fair I never have much with my urine with opks either.. I have to guess when I may have ovulated based on lines getting darker and then lighter and the ewcm and symptoms that follow and proved that was accurate for me when i temped (but that gets my hopes up!) x

 

[Briss]

Tink, I am sorry about the test and it's all just so confusing. could it be that your bleeding mid cycle was actually AF? so now this would get you to mid cycle? you seem to be getting positive pregnancy tests every cycle, they have to investigate what's going on so I totally agree about changing doctors. you can also try checking your temp in the morning if it is above 37.00 you are likely to be preggo.

Chicky, good luck with the genetic testing I hope everything will be fine

Meado, welcome!

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Hi Briss

Yeah the last 3 cycles I have! First one was a chemical, 2nd I miscarried and this one who knows! If the spotting mid cycle was my AF then it was rubbish- not even a teaspoon lol xx

 

[chicky160]

Morning ladies how are we all today?

Tink hope you getting darker test lines!

Briss hope hubby is still being wonderfully cooperative!

Afm not much. 5more sleeps till sa, and two more until our very first drug induced date night let's hope those little magic blue pills work! x

 

[Briss]

Ladies I am devastated, have just talked to FS and hubby's results have gone from 12 million to 2.8 million so IUI is not technically possible. On top of that with my FSH of 14.3 I am no longer eligible for NHS funding for IVF as my ovaries apparently wont respond well to stimulation and I am considered to have diminished ovarian reserve. With every day it just seem to get worse, isn't it? She refused to acknowledge that the operation had anything to do with it. To me it's apparent that before the surgery I had 26-29 day cycle and after it's 22-26 (apparently cycles getting shorter is another sign of diminished ovarian reserve)

 

[ilovepiano]

Hi there! i thought of joining this thread as well, if you want another whiny one lol!

This is the first cycle i'm using the CBFM. i have pretty regular periods and to my surprise i discovered i O on days 13/14 not on day 10/11 as i thought! so it's pretty pretty punctual and mid-cycle! my cycles usually last 28 days but i've had also a day or 2 shorter or even 36 day cycles in the past. During the past few cycles i've come to know that i had a polypse but it fell away on its own. So this cycle i started using CBFM and we BD y'day when it was peak day (cd 13) but also on the first High day on Cd 11. Tonight we'll maybe give it another shot if we're not too tired. Anyhow, i'm very hopeful this month as i did not feel any leakages after BD, not even when i went to the loo, so i'm hoping the stayed in for the night . Anyhow, hello everyone and good luck! Fx for us all!


Edit:- Oh Briss just read yr post previous to mine, don't know what to say

 

[chicky160]

Welcome ilovepiano!

Briss I'm so sorry I really don't know what to say. So if you were to save and go privately what would the likely outcome be? Does it mean as you wouldn't respond well to stims that ivf wouldn't work? x

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Ilovepiano- welcome and sending you lots of for this cycle.

Briss- I am so sorry hun- so what happens now? Sorry.. I have no idea what the options are. Is there not anything that can be done at all?

As for me- lines still not very dark, so am losing all hope

 

[Briss]

I guess my FS wants to get rid of me, gave me all that talk about time running out etc so she wants to refer me for IVF and i should sort the funding myself. I see it differently, I think our main task is to improve sperm count so I asked for another sperm test in 6 weeks to see whether vitamins + no alcohol can make a difference. I am trying to get my hubby to find a sperm specialist, someone who can help with this. luckily my hubby seems to be on board, whole 4 days with no beer!

 

[chicky160]

Tink I'm praying for your bfp

Briss I'm sorry we aren't more helpful with the whole ivf situation. I think sometimes they keep moving the goalposts. You know the nhs and cost cutting. A good friend of mine is just about to undertake her 5th ivf attempt. She had 4 here on nhs and was going to go to Jordan, I don't know If you'll remember me telling you guys it was quite a few pages ago. Anyway she's found the most fantastic clinic in Athens. It's a third of the price including any time spent there and they are so amazing and thorough. She now realises fs in this country aren't that great and all this time she had a septum in her uterus which they say has been the whole reason ivf here hasn't worked! And the fs here never noticed! Can you believe it? So they performed the surgery the very next day and she's back there in sept for retrieval! Her hubby has basically a very low sperm count, sits on his bits all day, and they've given him a course of antibiotics which
they say will double his count every month he takes them so he will be on those until they go back. There's always options hunny never give up hope and if you'd like any info il be happy to ask her xxx

 

[Briss]

chicky thanks so much for info that certainly gives me hope. I am deeply disappointed with my FS (after all she put me through with all the invasive procedures) she is basically only there the screen patients for IVF, she cant help me get pregnant. My hubby is still not considering IVF and after reading a few books I am sort of changing my mind as well. It's very invasive procedure with possible complications and low chances of success. I just do not know. If we knew for sure that there is no other way I would go for it but I still hope that we can improve hubby's sperm and get pregnant naturally. although for the first time I faced the idea that we may not be able to have children and this is very scary. My brother is very supportive and although he was not going to consider children for a while looking at what I am going through he and his girlfriend decided to start trying, this makes me very happy.

 

[tinkerbellsie]

I'm going to sell my cbfm once the last few sticks are gone.. I will also stop tracking my cycles with opks once they run out. I still don't know what's going on...but tbf cbfm only gave me a peak one cycle out of 5, and never had a truly positive OPK so they obviously don't suit me.

 

[Briss]

Tink, I forgot did you do the bloods to confirm you ovulate? is so than I agree, no point doing OKP/CBFM if your LH surge it not being detected by any of them it just creates more confusion.

 

[tinkerbellsie]

No. But tracked with bbt which coincided with the 1 peak cycle lol x
