Cyber Cycle Sisters! ---- 2 BFPs again this month, we are on a roll sisters!!

[hb1]

Hi Queenie - the cbfm monitors estrogen and lh - when the estrogen line get stronger before the lh surge ( it is the estrogen peaking and then dropping that triggers the lh surge ) the cbfm will give you high fertility - meaning you are warming up to ov - I guess it is the estrogen drop that gives you the temp dip just prior to the surge - the surge gives you the temp rise - the lh then drops and then the estrogen and progesterone levels come up - giving the high temp post ov...... so I have not picked up my lh surge and have been on high since I first got it at cd8 - I daren't stop bding just incase!!! Once it gets your peak you normally get 2 peak days followed by one high and then go to low for the 2ww.

Hope you enjoyed the choc fest Queenie - next fully justified choc fest is xmas!!!!

incidentally the imaginarium of dr parnissus was totally fab - would have preferred i bit more Johnny Depp tho

Uggghh feeling sick as a dog thats eaten 600 easter eggs. Too much choc!!!

Happy Easter cyber sisters!!!

Lou if you got your positive today I would BD for the next two days to make sure - three if you're not exhausted just to be totally sure!!!! Think ov can be up to 72 hours after positive opk(though usually 12-36). Good Luck to those swimmers!!!

HB what does it mean if its still high? I don't know anything about cbfm - do you have to wait for it to go low to know you've ovd?

oooh the key and HB testing sunday -very exciting!!! key 16th december sounds a nice date for a birthday!!!

I'll test 16th april if no AF!!!

Vickie maybe use a different brand opk next month and see if you get a proper positive?

Night night ladies, hope all our little eggs are fertilised and nestling in.

I can't afford expensive ones though. If the cheapies dont work I will have to forget them. I have never used them before now lol

 

[hb1]

Are there other cheapy brand tests?

Also I am thinking about getting a ferning microscope to also test saliva ( I am a little overkill on this ttc lark I'm afraid!! ) - that is £19.99 on amazon but you only spend once as it's re-usable and can be done any time of day.

Either that or temping - as again it is a one off spend? Just need to be good at taking temps when you wake - that's where temping falls down for me

 

[Vickieh1981]

I have a microscope but couldn't get the hang on it. There are other cheapies I could use. It was close enough for me to twig it is positive next time.

After a while you just take your temp as second nature. Do both lol

Thanks queenie, I've told dh that he can have wed, or thurs off, think I'll go for thurs. Not that I think he minds! Not sure when to set as my testing day, don't want to do early test again. Glad you enjoyed all that choc! Still got mine in fridge, saving for today!

Vicki I think supermarkets do them that are bit more expensive than Internet cheapees but not much, I've not used them though to know if amy better than the Internet ones I got. Think mine are the same as yours, look the same. Mine never came out that clear either. eBay might also do thinks cheaper.

Hb glad you enjoyed the film, would you recommend it? Looking for films to add to love film list!

Have been trying to temp alongside cbfm but hasn't become a habit yet!!

What was not good about the microscope? just as thinking of getting one so any experiences are good to know about!!

I can't really remember now. I just seem to recall that it never showed full ferning but can't really remember which child I used it with lol.

I know others swear by then.

Hi all,

Glad to hear you've all been bd'ing like mad over Easter! Fingers crossed that the Easter bunny has brought some BFPs, who will be testing first?

I've not had a great few days, in fact it has been very strange.... On Saturday night while we were away at my sister's house, I suddenly had this weird feeling come over me and I was convinced I wasn't pregnant anymore. It was awful. I went to the loo and was crying and I just suddenly felt like it was all over. Nothing prompted it, it was like all my hormones left the building with a big whoosh.

Then on Saturday and Sunday (sorry if tmi) I had peachy pink coloured cm which has made me even more sure. I would have been 6+1 on Saturday which was when my last pregnancy ended.

Then I made the mistake of watching the Coronation Street omnibus - did anyone else see it? and saw Becky being told, after her 2nd miscarriage, that she would never be able to carry a child. I was heartbroken and now I feel so sick with worry, worse than before.

My scan is next Monday but I'm not sure whether to see if they can bring it forward now. Sorry to bring such negativity to the thread, I did debate posting at all but feeling really lonely this morning now OH has gone back to work.

 

[hb1]

Oh Lolly - see if they can bring it forward - if not I wouldn't worry ( easier said than done hey!! ) - a slight discharge isn't out of the normal and worrying at the stage you mc before is totally natural - is there anyone you can visit while oh is at work? just to keep you from driving yourself silly with worrying?

all I can say is try and relax

Yes - definately - absolutely brilliant - also watched Bunny and the Bull and that was absolutely brilliant too would recommend both for sure!!!

 

[kanga]

hey Lolly, sorry to hear about your weekend. I am the worlds biggest worrier and worry about everything, only to realise after the event, I needen't have worried at all. So its easy advice to give but probably impossible to put into practice, but please don't beat yourself up over this. You are understandably worried as you are at the same week you lost your last bubs but hang in there. We all have fingers xd for you for next Monday x As for the pinky stuff, unusual dischanrge is common in all pregnancies so I agree with h.

Keep us posted tho, glad you shared x

 

[kanga]

h, did you get peak fertility? I am on CD21 and still on high. I am giving up on the sticks for the rest of this month, the bloody machine keeps asking for them but I can't see why it needs any more when AF is due in 6 days!

I am now wondering if I have PCOS and one of my ovaries isn't releasing eggs, because last month I got a peak when expected

 

[the_key2005]

Hi girls. Lolly so sorry to hear you had a terrible weekend. Am K and H. Try and see if you can bring the scan forward. And dont feel terrible at all isnt that why your cybers sisters are here for? WIll be keeping everything crossed and please keep us posted.

 

[kanga]

hi Sisters! I just set up a poll for us to see if we can come up with a communal testing date again as it was quite fun last month and helped make me wait!
Please vote x

 

[hb1]

I am cd 23 - must have been cd 21 on Sunday but for some reason had myself down as 20.... still on high too.

No reason to keep doing the sticks now I think too - have released oh from bding obligations for this month so doubt it'll make any difference.

this is the reason that I am thinking about the ferning microscope - just as a double check....

If you are worried Kanga check with your dr - although I don't think pcos is the only cause of a random anvulatory cycle - and this doesn't mean that you didn't ov this month - might be just you didn't pick up a surge - I am not counting myself out this month yet!!!
I think if this happened month in month out then it would be something to consider but a one off I wouldn't worry to much at this stage.

Hi

Lolly fingers crossed. Its totally natural to worry about things considering what we've all been through. Definately ask if you can get the scan moved but if not would you consider a private scan. They are generally around £80-100 but worth it for peace of mind in my opinon. Keep posting anything you need to, better out than in!

Kanga, great idea for the testing pole.

My Ov day keeps moving according to FF when I put in my temps. Im now only CD 4 with AF due on the 17th, very strange, but thats when Im going to test if she doesn't pop in before that.

Looking forward to hearing from you all. x

I know the feeling you mean. It's not nice.

I am sure things are fine but maybe just chase them and see if they can bring your scan forward.

 

[the_key2005]

Hi Girls. Kanga I was going to test this sunday if AF doesnt show up on friday as currently am 12dpo. But happy to hold off till the 13th which is available on the poll. That way I can test with Hb. Fxd stays away for all of us.

 

[hotpinkangel]

Hi girls!! we all in the 2ww now then??? I'm on 12dpo today, had strong cramping sat night/sunday morning and was sure AF was coming early but hasn't. been really silly and tested with a ic at 10dpo, looked neg but kept looking and swore!! i could see a very very very faint line, didn't test yest but did another today and saw a vvvvvvvv faint line again but in time limit. i know that they are evap lines really because AF isn't due till sunday, but i guess it's something to think about while i'm waiting!! lol!!!!! How are we all? did we have a nice easter? xx

 

[cutelou101]

Hi all

lolly it's totally natural to be worried, see if you can get some company to keep your mind busy. I'm with the others, see if they will move your scan forward to help try and put your mind at rest. As mrs g says post anything you need to, better out than in xx

kanga testing day sounds like great idea, but think my date be too late for everyone as I'm only 2Dpo.

Em fingers crossed for you for Sunday, I was like that last month! So impAtient! Lol! Fingers crossed they are a good sign xxxx Got ages yet to test!
