Team 'Pingu' is changing/relocating

[Pretty Sakura]

Hey ladies!! I am currently on cd 4. Hoping this cycle will be it for me and lots of others. This is also my first true month charting. I was recommended a book called"Taking charge of your fertility". It is an excellent book. Highly recommend it to everyone. Very informative! Hope everyone is doing great!

Morning ladies, Well got me late night. Very strange though cos its alot lighter than I usually am. Mind you I guess I shouldn't complain about that. Least I know now it only took her 22 day to make up her mind!!

[toby2]

sorry she got you aclio(((())))))

 

[ACLIO]

Ladies, I'm think of buying a CBFM today so I can start using it tomorrow. Do any of you use one and where's the best place to get one quick ie tonight?
Thank you

 

[Cocobelle]

Also just popping in to say howdee

Alclio, sorry the got you, hope you have better luck this cycle. I use a Persona monitor (that is actually a contraceptive monitor, as we are currently WTT) and that is pretty good at forecasting my fertile days and the day AF is due so I would say a CBFM would do the same. I was actually on the Lloyds pharmacy website earlier and I think they have it on offer at the moment, I bet it is the same in store too. Boots also sell them in store. I am not sure if they are the same as Persona, but with that you can start using it up to CD5 if you don't have it in time for the morning.

Pretty Sakura, I have ready the TCOYF book and it is brilliant. I have learnt so much about my body that I just never knew! I think every one should read it, Including our men! I also use the TCOYF software to chart my cycles, it works similar to FF (which I also have )

To all of you other Pingus waiting to OV or test ...........

 

[Pretty Sakura]

Sorry the evil got you Acilo!

Thanks Toby2 I hope it is too! And not just for me but all the others also ttc.!


I agree with you Cocobelle. Our men would understand alot more!! It's been really helpful for me too.


I'm a little more excited for this cycle. Especially since I'll know what my body is doing.

 

[Lyns]

Aclio, I use a CBFM and its great. You can use one up to CD5, so you ahve a couple of days.

Best deal for speed to me would be to use https://www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk/ and use the coupon code thankyou for another 5% off. They also do great quality IC HPT's and OPK's at very good prices.

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey ladies ... how is everyone today?

Sorry the witchy got you i hope next month is lucky for you x x x

 

[Poshie]

Hey girls, sorry I've not been in for a while........

I posted in my journal Lyns, but my testing date will be 22 September, if you could add me to the list, thank you

Got my first Peak on my cbfm today so that's good news. BD timing looking good so far. It's my first cycle using it and it seems to have gone very well so far. I was worried I'd have a million highs or not get a peak, but no, everything seems to be going by the book so far.

I'll catch up on everyone's news later!

[ACLIO]

I'm waiting for my CBFM to be delivered, I can't wait to start using. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions to ask you ladies.

Do you have to poas every morning?

 

[Lyns]

Only the mornings it asks you for, which on your first cycle will be CD5 as your first day. It will then ask you for 10 or 20 consecutive days depending on how long it takes you to Ov.

Don't be surprised if your first month is a bit different than normal. I got more high readings than a normal month and Ov was a bit delayed. Its just part of it 'getting to know' your cycle and hormone levels.

 

[ACLIO]

Lyns - Thank you. I'm also thinking of starting taking Agnus castus, have you ever tried it?

 

[Poshie]

Hey ladies Aclio, this is my first cycle using CBFM and I got 4 Highs then a Peak today I was pleasantly surprised with that because I had heard (as Lyns says) that some people get a whole load of highs.

Lyns, I think I may have miscalculated my testing date. Can I change it please to 22 Sept, like you and LM? It may even be 21 Sept, but that depends on whether I O today or tomorrow , thanks

 

[Lyns]

Lyns - Thank you. I'm also thinking of starting taking Agnus castus, have you ever tried it?

I'm on Clomid after being diagnosed with mild PCOS after 2 miscarriages so i can't take it. Its a no no for that.

Many girls here have taken it, and I used to, but my FS (Fertility Specialist) has told me not too. In my case he feels it will not help and he beleives it increases the early loss rate, and after 2 losses I can't cope with another.

What are you thinking of taking it for? I do feel many people take it as they think it will help them get pregnant....but it doesn't. It is a powerful hormone regulator so can help sort a unbalanced cycle out, but best to know whats wrong first, as it can, in some cases (such as mine) work against you.

Poshie.....done! xxx
