CBFM Buddy

Hi auca! I've been using It for a few months now, and last cycle was the first one where I go a low. It was still getting my peaks. Also some basic money saving advice: once you get a peak stop feeding sticksbecause its pre programmed. If you have a fairly predictable cycle, with lots of low/highs before your peak you can use an old stick from the beginning of a previous cycle.

Afm- question for those who have had an hsg. Did you notice a sicgnificant increase In cm after? I'm on watery already, and my cervix Is a bit open. I'm assuming its from them inserting the catheter, and theres more because of the increased opening...

welcome auca! you have indeed found the best CBFM forum I have used CBFM since
December... it works quicker for most people... I hope you're one of those!
Also, nothing is TMI here so ask away
Hopeful

Auca, welcome!

Exilius, i did not notice increase in CM following HSG (may be because I had it on CD15 after my ovulation) but my next period was far more painful than usual

 

[AuCa]

Thanks exilius, hopefulhoney and Briss!

And thanks for the advice exilius! Does it matter which stick I feed it? (low vs high vs peak reading?)

 

[exilius]

Feed it one from about the same point in the cycle if it's before the peak. After the peak it doesn't matter.

Example I feed it a low from for 2 days (~10 & 11), then a high for 2 days then I use fresh sticks (from ~14) and get a peak on 17 or 18 normally. I use ic OPKs to back up cbfm, and I stop feeding it old sticks if my LH begins to register.

Briss Hope that doesn't happen, mine leave me in agony anyway, and I'm still in a bit of pain from the test.

I feel I am out, have been cramping really bad since this morning, I just hope AF waits until Monday to give me at least 25 day cycle

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Briss I really hope the cramping is a good sign (like it was for Chicky)

Hopeful waiting for it to be 9am your time is killing me at it is 2pm here

I'm having a down afternoon having realised we're running out of time to even have a 2013 baby

 

[Briss]

thanks Tink but unfortunately AF got me

feeling pretty low, I am exhausted of failing every time, not sure how much more I will be able to take. I will be 37 next year, do I wait for my hubby to stop drinking (I strongly believe this is the major contributing factor) or should I push for IVF?

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Aww Briss I'm sorry. I'd push for IVF if I'm honest hun, and if he stops drinking and you get pregnant in mean time then great

 

[hopefulhoney]

I can't believe this... BFP!!
I am in shock and still light cramping so feeling nervous!
DH is in the next room Skyping with his parents and I can't tell him yet! AGONY!!
Chicky, bump buddies?

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Aaaahhhhh Hopeful!! I knew it!! congrats! So... You know the drill.. What did u do differently? What were ur symptoms? Xx

 

[hopefulhoney]

Well, same as Chicky, almost no symptoms except cramping and sore nipples (which have subsided a little - and it's freaking me out! ). On Friday I was cramping really badly which felt EXACTLY like AF and I get pretty bad AF cramps. BAD back ache too -went to physio twice.

Then they stopped but I was still feeling pre-AF last night (tiny half glass of wine... oopsy)

CRAZY vivid dream I got a BFP.
And then I tested.

This cycle I used preseed but applicated it right up there instead of just using it as a lubricant. And JUST LIKE CHICKY, gfj! (half a glass every day) and a whole grapefruit everyday.

I got no EWCM this cycle... weird.
Ladies, PLEASE reassure me that it's not to have symptoms this early. My boobs aren't sore anymore! I'm scared!

 

[AuCa]

Congrats on your BFP hopefulhoney!

From what I've read it is totally normal that your boobs might not hurt constantly, but hurt on and off. I don't think you need to be too worried

[hopefulhoney]

I just told him so sweet! He asked if there's such thing as a false positive -so worried!

Will let you all know how the doc goes tomorrow.
So shocked and happy right now! But with every cramp I'm like, "OMG, What's happening!?!?!"
