Duo Fertility Monitor

[PinkiSexi]

Hi Ladies, Can I join in. I purchased a DF mid Nov having been ttc for 3+ yrs. I am 37 & have a boy who will be 6 next month. I have had all the NHS tests you can think of and they can find nothing wrong, however my husbands sperm count it just below what is classed as 'normal'. As the NHS could do no more for us we were given the number of a fertility clinic which we decided was not for us. I then came across the DF and thought we would give it one last shot before calling it a day. I know it is only my second month of using it but they have already predicted my greens days for this month incorrectly. I am guessing this is because they are still getting used to my cycle. We were bedding all of last weekend as per monitor hwr today they have changed my green days to be the last 4 days. I did a LH test this eve and it is positive meaning I have missed out this month. My chart looks very very flat compared to all of yours which is worrying me a little. Sorry to rant on and on in my introduction but hope I can still be a part of your chat.

LH test this evening positive means OV due in the next 48 hours! Don't give up yet! Also on my first month DF moved my green days, as I supposed they worked it out on an average to begin with. But I still found them to have confirmed the days I would have not DTD on unless they had made them green.

Does your chart indicate OV? Try uploading it to here so we can cast our opinion on it. Some of the girls on here confirmed my OV date before DF confirmed it.

I started using DF 3rd Dec, but that's also when we started TTC too.

Here is my recent chart for everyone to see....

Kitsia happy birthday to you! Enjoy that wine. Sorry you didn't get a good result sending you a birthday hug.
Suffolk girl I think you and I could have written each others introduction lol except I am 40 and my wee man 4.5 yrs old. My husbands count was deemed dreadful and baffling by Nhs urologist but ok by df fertility HQ lol lets all pray those little Cambridge boffins know what they are doing or we will have to storm the building! They got my green days wrong last month too. As you say we are just getting started though.
Ladies explain how we upload charts if you would xx

Don't worry about other people! Unwanted babies always turn up easily, if they didn't then it wouldn't happen! (it happened to me)

It's all about timing and you need to get it right, so perhaps you have missed important days. Stay positive.

God I feel like a spokesperson for DF tonight! Haha!

Have you gone to the doctors for fertility tests yet ? I am 34 today and been trying for 13 month. I have never done any test to see if there is any reason it is not happening. But I made it a new years resolution.

Hope DF will bring you BFP very soon.

Chart is looking good Kitsia! When is AF due?

 

[Kitsia]

In 4 days. But I already have pre AF symptoms. So I think I am out this month

 

[PinkiSexi]

Whoo hoo! I lost 4 lbs this week oh and no caffeine in my life anymore either

 

[Kitsia]

Well do ne you !!! I must follow your good example and start a healthy life style

 

[PinkiSexi]

It's early days, but I'm already feeling happier and healthier! I hope to continue on with my healthy lifestyle

This is the email DF sent me about dieting...

You can add this detail to your notes on the software so we can have a record of when you started the diet and hopefully be able to review the effects with you at a later stage. We would appreciate if you could also change your weight on the system when this happens, and also add it to your notes so we can be up to date with any changes.

 

[Kitsia]

Ahhh, I should probably update mine too. I think Ive lost few kg over last few month when I was studying. My pants are falling down but I did not weight myself. DF said that my cycle looks different compared to the other 3 . I'd say high stress affect your hormons as well.

 

[PinkiSexi]

Stress can definitely make a difference!

I haven't got to update my weight yet, as I think I put myself on my DF about half a stone less than I actually am lol

 

[PinkiSexi]

Just got my LH surge this morning it was negative and this afternoon changed to positive! Something made me test this afternoon, as I read you can get two results in one day and I guess I was right to yay me!!

Extremely excited about this for some reason

 

[Kitsia]

What are you doing here ???? Go to bed !!!!

 

[PinkiSexi]

Hello again to all you lovely ladies, Its great to be able to talk to others using the DF monitor and get advise on things.

PinkiSexi I have all my fingers & toes crossed that I have not missed out this month. I will be dtd all wkend now just to make sure. I felt so rotten yesterday when I saw my green days had been moved.

Peanut when I read your post I too thought I was reading about myself.

Good luck to you all and hopefully we will al have our BFP very soon.

I have tried to attached my graph I hope that you can see it. As you can see my chart is very flat.

Hi Suffolk girl. Your flat temperatures mean that you have not yet ovulated. Since you got positive OPK yesterday you could be ovulating right now. You will probably see a temperature raise tomorrow. You shoul not worry as long as you can see a clear biphasic pattern. But if you are not convinced it is OK you can always email DF support about it. You've paid for the specialist support so you can use it
