[Lady H]

Still getting high on CBFM, but very pale line still on OPK. Sigh.

 

[jaynehard74]

Hope you had a good birthday Lady

Finally started using my monitor on CD2 only, it says on first cycle that you start testing on Day 6.....so here goes!!

Hi ladies, how you all doing?

I've been away for a wedding abroad so just catching up on the news...Lady any sign of O?

go Jayne!!

I find myself a tad confused this cycle..the last 2 months with the CBFM I have O/peaked on CD16&18 and have as usual felt pain asi have done prior to TTC. However this cycle I peaked on CD13 but strangely I felt my usual O pain on CD17.

Is that even possible? Am so confused as it caught me of guard so BD like crazy on CD13&14 and then only on CD17 when I felt the pain..Just in case.
Am worried I have messed up somehow so not counting my chickens this cycle at all.

I rechecked my sticks and did see two lines which suggest the LH surge but would it really last 4days or I have been confusing O pain for something else all this time?!


Sorry long story!!

 

[Lady H]

Hmmm sounds odd Pat. Is the pain Defo ovulation? Did you use OPK at all as well?

I got my peak yesterday but am worried as pretty much no cm and DH refused sex today on day two of peak. He will not have sex on demand apparently. Another cycle buggered.

 

[dvm2004]

Hey ladies! I'm trying to decide if I should invest in this or not.

Ive only been off BCP since late april but I'm pretty sure I've ovulated twice since and my first full cycle was exactly 28 days. Had my two periods after the BCP exactly when I expected. I'd been on BCP for many years and remember being regular before I think... just got on them to help w ovarian cysts.

Anways, would it be worth it to buy the clear blue fertility monitor? Anyone with reg cycles use it? I've been using OPK's.. getting positives when I expect them to be (of course don't know 100% if I really ovulated). I don't temp chart because I don't think I can- I work 12hr shifts... sometimes starting at 7a, 9, 10, or even 11. And thats 3x a week. My days off I sleep in usually

So anyways, just wondering what to do to maximize my chances of conceiving! Or if I should just chill out.

 

[Lady H]

Hi DVM, it's not a cheap option for sure. I got mine second hand from eBay. Paid about £35 for it. The test sticks are around £1 each and a typical cycle uses 10. My ovulation is late this month so I've already used 13 although tomorrow is the last one for this cycle.

If you are early on your ttc journey and seem to be regular, maybe give it to six months before going CBFM? Depends on how long you can wait!

Good luck, let us know if you go for it!

 

[dvm2004]

Thanks for the input Lady H! I think I may wait a bit and see if my cycles stay regular. We'll see on how impatient I get!

Hi Everyone,

Had a bit of a false start, thought I got AF on Saturday it was light then a little bit on Sunday morning then nothing??? Been switching on my CBFM but think I should reset it until I get a proper AF.

What do you reckon?

dvm2004, can't advise you yet as am clueless

PatTabs, confused...me and you both

Lady...and they say women are complicated, what is the matter with these men, mine plays online games, now I love my laptop but when its time for bed....

 

[Lady H]

Did you press m after Sunday?

 

[jaynehard74]

Hi Lady,

I pressed it on Saturday as I thought I had AF when I woke up

 

[Lady H]

Ah ok. I assume you have done a pregnancy test just in case?

 

[jaynehard74]

Yep, BFN

Just thought it was my first AF since MC, body must just be messed up.

I just didn't want to waste the sticks if if it was a false alarm and I will get AF any day.

 

[Lady H]

Yes can understand that. Maybe reset if it asks for sticks and you are not sure?

Nope no OPK alas..

Glad you got your peak! That's another thing I had very little cm too but then more on the day I had pains...this TTC plays havoc with everything! Ihave n clue this cycle..will just wait it out now..

Sorry DH not playing ball..mine is the opposite as we got the peak early he was keen to BD before work in Wed..I ended up being half an hour late for quite an important meeting but he was scolding at me fretting at being late as he said if i wanted a BFP I would have to be late!

Jayne..hmm interesting would be fab if you had a BFP after all!
