Hello Lovely Ladies!

I wanted to share something....I went to the $1 store and bought 7 preg. tests. Thats right...7... It's crazy, I know but I can't tell anyone else. Feel so much better now. Will be on CD10 tomorrow!

Well you are well prepared then ,think I bought about ten last month and started testing way too early,,day ten is fab,wen do u usually ovulate?sending u lots of luck,hugs and baby dust,

I know this will sound crazy...but I don't actually know when I ovulate.
Dh and I have just been bd all this time without really knowing. We figured it would just 'happen' since all they did in school was scare the sh** out of us, 'if you don't use protection, you will get pregnant or an std' Thank god!!! about not getting an std but pregnancy has not been as simple as I was led to believe. Finally, when it didn't just 'happen' we figured there might be some issues with both of us. Went to an RE last year around this time...I was checked with a few tests and came back fine. Dh was checked and that's when the RE basically said...you have male factor infertility and wanted us to do IVF-right away. Our insurance does not cover IVF..so we tried for another year..still not pg. Dh saw two different urologists and has had two different s/a's done. The second was very much improved, after starting to take vitamins for only two weeks. We are hoping we can still get pg. naturally. Sorry for the long story but wanted to give you all the details. This is only my 3rd month using the cbfm....and so far the first month never got a 'peak. Second month had the flu...and totally screwed up by not testing a few days..now into the third month...hopefully will get a 'peak' and I also starting temping.

for you

Hi Ladies-

I am new here & was wondering if someone could explain the difference between the cbfm & opk? I use opk now & have heard comments about the cbfm, but don't really know about them.

Thank you and the best of luck to you all!

Hi kosh and Ruth,I honestly was the same with my sons ,I didn't feel pregnant for a few months ,but with the girls I had awful sickness starting at six weeks ,Hopefully wen u both get your scans u will feel much better,xxxxx

thanks desperado
im only 5w - i want time to go faster!

We must have the same EDD; I am 5+1 today.

i think that´s what I am too!
haven´t calculated the EDD yet - please do not tell me!

If I remember rightly we were both due AF on 30th April and were going to test on the same day. So it would make sense that our EDD is the same.

Kosh I am worried too just not showing it as much as you (and also probably for different reasons too.) I've decided to go with the flow and worry if and when I really need to if that makes any sense.

I'm dying to know what goes on in the men only bit too...

just a comment, if you say that his SA improved just by taking vitamins, can i ask you - does he eat/drink soy by any chance? i´ve read it can sometimes halve sperm count!

Thank you! Kosh! no dh does not eat any soy. I know that causes more estrogen...from what, I have read.

hi dachsundmom,
OPKs measure LH - when you get a positive (which some women find difficult to determine) you will Ov in the next 12-36 hs. the CBFM not only measures LH but also estrogen. the rise in estrogen (indicated as high days) starts before the LH surge (peak days) so you get more 'warning' before OV and can BD earlier.
hope this makes sense!

my AF was on the 27th!

yes, it does! i'm trying to relax a bit more too.

Thank you so much for the info! Have you used one? I read a little bit about it online and it mentioned that the monitor has to be reset on Cd1; now that I am on Cd4 I wonder if it is too late to try it this month? I honestly get so confused looking at those lines on an OPK...I think I'm at the point where I will myself to see anything! lol

yes, i used one last cycle and got a BFP!
i think you can start using it until cd5, so you should be ok. press the 'm' for a while until the day changes to 4 (cd4). remember to chose a time that is convenient for you, etc etc.
during your first cycle it will start asking you for sticks on day 6. as far as i understand, if it gives you a peak reading between cd6 and cd16 it will only ask you for 10 sticks, if by cd16 you still haven't peaked it will ask you for another 10 sticks. i read that it adjusts all this in the second cycle.
hope this helps and good luck!!
