Clearblue Clinical Study Buddies

Hi Angelmarie

How long are your cycles usually hun?

Have you got + OPK's in the past? x

 

[Angelmarie]

Cycles are pretty irregular to be fair...

I have had positive opks though - I got one at cd30 last month accompanied with egcm but this month I havent had any egcm - lots of watery in the morning turning to creamy as day goes on... (sorry TMI) Is that normal?

DO you think it will just take a while for the cbfm to get used to me?

DO you think that I might have ovulated with just a high?

 

[tansey]

I think it is strange because normally with the monitor it asks for 20 sticks if it doesn't get a PEAK with the first 10. Have you had CD21 blood tests to confirm OV? Your chart doesn't really show OV as you said. Sorry can't be more help!

 

[Angelmarie]

Thanks Tansey... I have no idea whats going on. I did have cd21 tests done... well kind of... the doc wanted me to get them done last week but I was only cd19 (?) I got the results back - 'normal - no further action'. I have no idea what that means... but I went back yesterday and just got the nurse to do repeats so hopefully I will get those back by the end of the week to see whats going on. Its

Thanks for replying though

 

[Sinead]

Angelmarie - don't have any advice for you, hope you get your soon

Tansey - I'm with you hun - cycle 4 - it bloody sucks, I'm gonna end up getting the opks from clearblue at the end of the trial coz I didn't get a BFP.

I haven't received this cycles supply yet either - not good - pee is in the fridge waiting to be labelled

Hope everyone is ok

 

[Sinead]

Nicky - hope thats an implatation dip in your chart xx

 

[tansey]

Sorry AF turned up Sinead! I am thinking the same as you! In fact I wish it was over already as I am fed up of carrying pee around with me as I am away from home a lot! I just can't see it happening and I can't get any help until I move!

Nicky - looking good for you! xx

 

[NickyT75]

Sorry you girls are out again

I must admit I've found myself thinking that I'd take a break from TTC if I dont get my BFP but we cant even have a month off coz we still need to collect our wee

I've also thought id be glad when the trial is over but then I feel bad thinking thats a little bit ungrateful of me

its definitely a rollercoaster this TTC lark isnt it? xx

 

[tansey]

Thing is, if we get our BFP we still have to pee in a pot for another 3months! LOL!

 

[NickyT75]

I know... its getting kinda boring isnt it? lol x

 

[tansey]

How are we ladies? Af has gone so I can BD for fun yay!

Now Nicky you better get a BFP this cycle - there must be one every month! xx

 

[AutumnSky]

I'm confused!!!

Remember last Sunday (CD9) I overslept and therefore couldn't use my monitor?

Well, according to my temps etc, I'm now 3DPO (I ovulated on CD12), but I never got a peak on the CBFM. I am still getting highs! But there is barely a second line on the tests, so I know I'm not due to ovulate. Is the monitor all w**kered now because I missed the one day??

I'm going to have to use all 20 bloody sticks now aren't I!!

Is the monitor not actually reading the hormones in my urine or something? Surely it must be able to tell that I shouldn't be 'high' anymore??!

P.S. This month will be a complete waste of time anyway. We've completely mis-timed the BD-ing.

[tansey]

Hun, you BD'd 3 days before which is good timing! I haven't had a peak for two cycles now so i don't know what's going on with the monitors or stick! (or us?) xx

 

[NickyT75]

Im out again girls flew in early!!

My bloody cycle was only 25 days for some reason?? its usually 28 but was 31 last month so I have no idea why im out already??

My LP has gone from 12/13 days to only 10 days!! WTF?? I thought is was sposed to remain constant?

I havent even requested my stuff yet FFS!!

Even had a 'textbook implantation dip' @ 6DPO & was CONVINCED I was preg so im really upset

I really feel like giving up xx

 

[Angelmarie]

I totally nderstand what you mean... try to keep your chin up - it will happen one day...

So sorry got you.

Try to stay positive for next cycle.

Sending lots of

 

[tansey]

Oh no Nicky - so sorry! xx

(p.s. I order my stuff by email at least a week before regardless of whether I am hopeful or not - you could always keep the sticks for future!)

Hi Girlies,

Can I please join your thread?

My name is Sarah, 26 and ttc#1 - I'm on cycle 3 of the CBFM trial (1 yr in total ttc) - this month i think I have managed to mess my monitor up as we went to america for the weekend which meant the time difference caused me to miss my POAS day (and pin point ovu which last cycled was CD13) monitor is still reading high even though i'm on CD18 - not feeling very hopeful this month!

Anyway you all seem such a friendly bunch so hope I can join you and you all get lots of BFP's I have had a quick read through and saw a few

x

 

[Sinead]

Hi everyone

Nicky - my stuff arrived yesterday on cd4 (i have saved the pee to be labelled up!!!!)

Tansey - when you due to start your sticks - I reckon it will be tomorrow for me

Autumn - I don't know what it means as I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones who gets peaks (I'm jinxed now though)

sjb - hey there, hope you still get a BFP. You just never know.

AF is leaving the building, so roll on this month

 

[tansey]

Yay Sinead we are cycle buddies! I am one day ahead of you. I should be asked for a stick tomorrow. If i'm not it must be because the last two cycles i've had to use 20 sticks and got no peak.

Hi sjb! It's nice to have more people join us. I am on cycle 4 of the trail but month TTC since MC in Feb 08. Don't worry about messing up this cycle I know plenty of ladies on here who have thought they were out but got there BFP - in fact more of them who messed up or took a break got BFPs than us!

Oh well good luck ladies!

PS: Autumn - good luck, it's your turn this cycle!

Good luck to us all!

 

[tansey]

Well I was right - poas starts today. I have to take a wee sample next Monday when I go for my smear so two pee pots to fill!
