Duo Fertility Monitor

[PinkiSexi]

Girls I'm going away next week for 4 days, so probably won't get to do a daily sync to my DF monitor. Is this a problem? Or will it be ok to just leave it until I get back?

I don't want to not wear it all together, as it's the temps running up to my AF, so I want to keep an eye on them.

Honestly, it's probably better - you wont have to worry about it, and analyse every temp movement! I'm the same - away tues-thu with work.

Think we're both at about the same stage - due around xmas, so there's not much we can do but wait for good news

Just take your reader with you, and record on to that each morning, and then when you get back, connect up and hopefully some good patterns will be there.

Enjoy your trip xxx

Thank you. I'll take all my DF stuff with me and just keep connecting daily, can really take the lap top and wouldn't want to lol.

DF emailed me yesterday saying:

hope you're well. I am contacting you to let you know that I have reviewed your data, and am finding it difficult to confirm your ovulation date for this cycle. This is because you have just started using DuoFertility, and we do not have your previous temperature patterns. I therefore need to wait to get a few more days of data to confirm if you have ovulated. This is nothing to worry about, and I hope to be able to confirm this for you shortly

So that means I need next weeks Data, although I'm slightly miffed, as I can work out when OV happened based on my chart?! Oh well!

 

[angiedev]

Well, as predicted, my trip to the docs didn't go too well!

He didn't even read the report and basically said "well, we've done all the tests and everything is fine, so you just have to be patient and keep trying"

Aaaaggghhh! - so dissapointed

 

[Kitsia]

Oh my gosh!!! It is so frustrating. I hope you are OK. Is there any way to change your doctors ?

 

[angiedev]

Thanks for your thoughts - I'm glad I found this thread!

I might try and make an appointment with the fertility specialist - although we are not technically supposed to go back there till we have been trying for 3 years - which will be May 2012.

Have emailed Duofertility to see what they advise - one of the things they recommended was progesorone supplements to strengthen my luteal phase, so dont know if you can get this somewhere other than by prescription.

I am weary to buy anything from the web, but you can see how people are driven to it when docs dont help you out!!

On the positive side, my temps have been showing a nice steady rise since i ovulated, which is different to what I have had before, so will stay positive about that.

 

[Kitsia]

Keep positive and hopefully your temps will stay up!!! I read that vitamin B helps with LP deficiencies. Maybe you could try it if you did not so far.

Hi girls, how is everybody ? Any good news or signs?

I just found out that I'll be going away with work until the middle of March. I guess I have to tell DF support about this as I wont be able to BD on green days

aw sorry to hear that, but im sure DF will be fine with that won't they? Im sure it says you can take a break. Hope so! Let me know how you get on.

Well im totally confused temp didnt really drop that much, it stayed pretty much steady but i had periofd. Might but my chart on if you you want a look and see what you think?

How are you getting on this month so far?

 

[Kitsia]

I am due to ovulate tomorrow or Friday. I have not got positive OPK yet but test line is nearly the same as control line. I am cooking tonight in hope to catch that egg later on

Here is my chart, put up yours.

I just got back from my few days away, been wearing my sensor, but not updating in to the laptop. Logged on today and my temps did a drop then went back up again. AF should be due Saturday.

 

[kaye]

has anyone any ideas on my chart?

 

[Kitsia]

Hi Kaye,

Sorry to come back so late. Mad busy at work.

Did your temps go up again last night ? Could it be that you have ovulated on the 19th ?

I had a very flat chart for one cycle and only had a tiny tiny shift after ovulation. This cycle my temps dropped really low when AF arrived but I've never had it before. Well, I am only using DF three month. All 3 cycles are so different from each other. Don't worry about it I'd say its normal.

 

[Kitsia]

Kaye, this is the chart when I start using DF. My temps were quite low at the beginning and quite flat after AF.

Welcome back !! Hope you had a nice trip.

Did DF finally confirmed your ovulation date ? I think they had difficulty before your trip, did't they ?

No confirmation, but only updated data today and they had emailed saying they needed a few more days data before I left. I put the data into FF and got 8th confirmed as OV date on there.

I'm 100% sure AF will be here tomorrow anyway. I'm feeling a bit poorly in general though, flu like symptoms and aches all over.

Next cycle I'm going to use LH tests, have already brought a pack of clear blue digital. I think it will massively remove the element of confusion.

My temps did a down on Tuesday and Wednesday, then a back up last night. But I've not been wearing the sensor during the day, when I normally would. Also have consumed quite alot of alcohol

 

[Kitsia]

Sorry about AF. OPK's help a lot. At first I did not like them but as you say it eliminates a lot of confusion and gives you indication that you are about to ovulate.
I just got my positive OPK I guess I am again cooking tonight :d

I sometimes too do not ware sensor during the day. I think it's OK as long as you have it on while you sleep .

I wonder if it makes a difference with the sensor though it you always wear it in the day usually? Anyway I'm going to put it in my notes.

No sign of AF actually, i am wondering if it was just because I'm felt poorly. Will keep you updated.

I bet you'll get a few goes in today then

P.s. will upload my chart later.

 

[angiedev]

Well, I got back from my work trip and plugged in and things still looking pretty good on my chart - the best they have ever done since I started using DF. However, just did a pregnancy test and got a BFN....maybe too early for this I suppose, so I'll keep my hopes up. Here is my chart - not sure how to do this, so if you dont see somehting here, can you let me know I upload!

Pinki - hope that your AF doesn't come - fingers crossed.
Kaye - i'd say it looks like you ovulated on the 19th maybe?? - you have a nice steady pre ov temps - mine are usually all over the place!
Kitsia - My cycle seems different every month too - I thought that it would show some sort of pattern, but luckily, DF dont seem to think this is unusual. Good luck with your "cooking" - practising for xmas dinner I presume ;-)

Off work for xmas now - can't wait for the big day! - hope that you all have a lovely time, and that good things come for us all in 2012 xxx
