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

Oh Pat, I feel for you Hun. I pray it all turns out ok xxxxxx
 
Thanks Lady :hugs: back at ya, hope your wee bean is doing well and being strong!
 
All good thanks Pat, popping to London China town later for food then a gig in Camden. I will not be stopped! Xx
 
I got my positive OPK today on my second PEAK, temp is a bit random so not sure if FF can pinpoint my O this cycle but I guess it's either today or tomorrow. it's a bit annoying that OPK and CBFM do not agree most of the time in determining my LH surge, makes it harder to plan BD

Gee that is very confusing. I had thought that the CBFM gave a peak later than the OPKs but I guess not. At least you will have all your bases covered.
 
Hi ladies, new here. I just started month #4 with the CBFM. I'm kind of frustrated, but it is telling me I'm O a day or two later than I thought I was. When I was a teenager, I was seriously irregular. Went on BCP age 25 until 30, and since then I've been regular, 29 days now at age 40. I'm going to switch doc and ask for some testing to make sure everything is functioning properly since I've been TTC since January. So, today is day 7, had to test and it's low, of course. I could've told the machine that w/o wasting a stick.
 
welcome jean! :flower:

pat, i'm sending you lots of :dust:

briss, i believe i got a positive on an opk about a week before
my peak on the cbfm. indeed, very confusing.
needless to say, we've done a lot of bd'ing this cycle.

good night or good morning to all the ladies.

:hugs:
 
Morning :flower:

Welcome Jean..hope your stay with us is short and sweet!

Vkj - I just realised you are in California, how lucky you are, London aside I would love to live there! Good stuff on the lots of BDing!

Briss - Do you monitor your CM? This cycle I tried and BDed on all the really EWCM days, and Didnt even use my CBFM and got the BFP.

Lady - ooh yummy Chinese and a gig, good for you!

Cali - guess its the TWW now? Got my FXed for you..

And lots of :hugs: to everyone else!

I am fairly confident I am in the middle of an MC got a lot heavier yesterday and the pregnancy feelings have all but gone. I feel strangely numb about it all, I haven't cried as much as last time and I wonder if my emotions played a part in the negativity I know it's silly but I can't help but wonder.

DH has been lovely and feel like I have let him down. He was all 'we'll try again, we'll get there' but the little voices on my head are saying 'will we?' I know now is not the time for rationality but I'm veering to the anger at why, why me, I know it's stupid so many women have MCs. Argh anyway probably not making much sense.

Thanks ladies for listening, you are all in my thoughts and I wish much sticky :dust: to you all...and pray we get those bundles of joy soon.
 
PatTabs, :hugs::hugs::hugs: I'm so very sorry. Please take care of yourself and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Ladies, what do your sticks look like when you get a peak?? I'm just now figuring out that the CBFM measures two hormones--estrogen and LH--and that the estrogen line gets lighter as your estrogen levels go up.

The first two peaks I got the estrogen line was very faint and the LH line was dark. However, this time around, the estrogen line was not as faint and the LH line was about the same color.

My acupuncturist thinks that a hormonal imbalance is at the root of my fertility woes so I'm trying to figure out if this is a change in the right direction.
 
My peak sticks were the one I was used to seeing would be all but gone, and the second one in dark.

Oh well, so it looks like it doesn't matter what the peak looks like then. I hope that the fact that something different is happening than all my other cycles is a good sign though. My acupuncturist thinks I may have a problem with my thyroid.
 
Cali,get ur thyroid checked out,mine was over active and was preventing me from falling pg and was causing mc when finally did get pg
 
Mamadona, I went to a FS last week and she drew blood. It looks like she is testing for a thyroid issue. She ordered TSH and antithyroid antibodies. I am still waiting for my test results, but from what I'm reading about it, I am pretty sure I am hyperthyroid. I have had almost all of the symptoms at one point or another over the years. My mother had to have part of her thyroid removed too soon after she turned 40, so I guess I was more at risk for this to start with. I think I have always been borderline hyperthyroid, but I was pushed over the brink after I had dd, because I had some really intense symptoms a few months after she was born. I thought it was all normal postpartum stuff but now I'm seeing that it wasn't

I am glad that I may have an answer, but a little teriffied at the same time. It seems so difficult to treat.

I am about to stalk your journal. You really have been through a lot these past few months. :hugs:
