Using Clearblue Fertility monitor - anyone else? 7 BFP's...

[Madrid98]

Hi I'm also using the CBFM. This is my 2nd cycle using it. Last cycle as it was the first right after the mc I didn't get a peak but I honestly think I didn't O either. This cycle instead I went from low to peak on cd14. I'm taking my temp and ff says I O on the 1st peak so we'll see.
Good luck to all of us!!

I've not been on here for ages! Quick update - 2nd cycle got high on cd12 and peak on cd13&14! Took me a bit by surprise especially seeing as i was expecting 5 days (ish) of highs before peak and i was 250 miles away from home visiting my brother! Anyway, I got home that night and BD so that was 1st peak and then again on the morning of 2nd peak. I'm pretty sure, based on physical symptoms & OPK, that LH surge started on the evening of CD12 and I O'd eve of 1st peak so |I am crossing everything!!! I'm currently 9dpo and desperate to test but am trying my best to hold off until the weekend when I will be 13 dpo. I guess seeing as my LP is usually spot on 14 days that if it's not BFP by 1 day before AF due then it's probably not going to be. Whatever happens, I love the CBFM for tuning me in to what my body is doing!

Hi PatTabs and Hi everyone else I am doing good, went to the hospital yesterday for a scan and it was all clear and bleeding stopped so good to go again!

The lovely lady who did my scan gave us advice on trying again, she said we should wait until I get a period but then said...... but if we happen to have a kiss and cuddle and I do a test in 3 weeks time and its positive then not to worry, the only reason that advice is given is because docs prefer to date a pregnancy on last AF but she has a machine for that and patted the scanner! She made me feel so much better and even reassured me about my age (38)

I suspect I won't be that lucky not to get my AF at some point but when I do I will be ready with my CBFM and sticks.

Must admit I am tempted by preseed, the more I read about it seems worth giving a try.

My DH also read an article about rats and mice being given probiotic yoghurt, the males that had the yoghurt had higher sperm counts and produced more off spring than the ones that didn't, they think this may be the case in humans so he is going to take a probiotic supplement. It cant do any harm!

Google probiotic and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and you can see the results of the study.

The things we will try! lol xx

Hi!

Sorry about af ladies.

I'm ok Pat. Just waiting and waiting. This 2ww is being the longest ever. Not that I'm very hopeful but I'd like to find out either way. I'm 8dpo today so I'll continue testing tomorrow and the following days and see what happens.

jayne so sorry about your loss and the doc was right. You can start straight away. They'll tell you how far you are by the scan so don't worry a bit in case it happens.

 

[Lady H]

Hi Pat, sorry to hear witch got you. I plan to only used CBFM and not temp this month, too stressy for me. I am feeling resigned though that we will never have kids at the moment.

Jayne, good luck, glad all ok, enjoy your kisses and cuddles....

 

[Lady H]

Madrid, we cross posted. Fx for you, tww is hell xxxxx

 

[Madrid98]

I have to agree in the bbt part Lady. I'm only doing it this cycle because I have an appointment with mc clinic consultant on the 22nd June and I'd like to take it with me if I get af. Maybe it'll help understand a bit more my tests results.

Please don't give up though. I can only say that sometimes less is more. I used to stress with many things before, trying to get different supplements to work, etc, and then after my very last loss I decided there was no point. I'm careful with caffeine and I don't drink or smoke at all, and I keep an eye on what I eat during the 2ww just to be in the safe side of things, but that's it. The CBFM, folic acid and bd.

I truly hope it'll happen to all of us very soon

 

[Lady H]

Sounds like a good plan. Getting sick of taking this and doing that myself.

What this thread needs, is some......

 

[jaynehard74]

Don't ever give up lady but I think you are right to maybe relax more with all the supplements etc, when I last tried and tried....nothing! At Christmas we booked to go to Australia for 5 weeks in the March I went back on the pill because if I had got caught I would have been too worried about the long flight and the hectic schedule . I came off the pill just before we left got my AF on the plane! and then came home pregnant. But the whole time we were away I never gave getting pregnant a thought! I was stunned and although I have now mc'd and am going to try all the gadgets, temp charts, supplements even just been and bought baby asprin, I will probably ease off after a couple of months if I have no luck. Although I did just take the asprin with a swig of Budweiser!!!!

Madrid,nervous for you...not long to wait for your test hope its good news

 

[PatTabs]

I agree I haven't temped at all, think that would just be too much for me, think will stick to just the CBFM with preseed this time.

Madrid - the TWW is def the pits, not long now though for you loads of

What has really shocked me is the how time feels like forever each TWW but it's already 6 mths since we started TTC and it's nearly midsummer!

I pray we all get our BFPs by the end of 2012
