This thread WILL bring BFPs, everything crossed ladies apart from your legs!!

Yes, you need to buy sticks as well. I can get quite expensive, although once the machine has worked out your cycle you only need to use about 7 a month.

Maybe buy some cheapy ones first - I think some people get them off ebay.

Karbea · 24/02/2011 22:00

level gahhhh i'm stressed - sorry... I don't know what to do, do you need the kit and then buy tests as well?

And these are the sticks?

level · 24/02/2011 21:53

oops Karbea

level · 24/02/2011 21:52

kareba Yes, it's my first month charting.
I like the CBFM because it's easy to read and use. It's expensive but I've got lots of use out of it!

Newgolddream · 24/02/2011 21:44

Karbea - I got my thermometer froma site called Access Diagnostics, can recommend them. They sell other stuff to, like OPKs, HPTs etc etc.

Karbea · 24/02/2011 21:41

Ooo don't know why that link looks like that Confused

level · 24/02/2011 21:38

Only Clear Blue Fertility Monitor - do some people double up?

Karbea · 24/02/2011 21:37

I'm having a freak out tonight!

I'm thinking of getting a new thermometer, which one do you guys have? this one?

Also I want some cheap OPKs, which ones do you get? I know a lot of you use cheapies.. I can't order from ebay... but can from Amazon..

Karbea · 24/02/2011 21:30

Level Do you use OPKs? That would give you another sign? Is this your first month of charting?

((hug))

My chart is a bit funny www.fertilityfriend.com/home/level

My CBFM and EWCM doesn't really match with when FF said I ovulated.

Also, it only reads like it does because I discarded day 15 because I was drinking the night before.

If I put it back in it moves my ov day to 21st which is even further from CBFM and CM.

What does anyone think?

I'm getting my standard pre AF cramps so not holding out much hope for this cycle.

Looking to cycle 18 now Sad

Hi!

I am away till Sun at a conference so will check up on you sun evening.

Hope you feel better soon auntied xxx

Karbea · 24/02/2011 10:02

oh Auntie ((hugs)) I know exactly how you feel, I always feel a little bit sad/jealous when people tell me that they are having babies. I feel dreadful for feeling that way ((hugs))

It will be our turn soon, i'm sure! Smile

AuntieDoris · 24/02/2011 06:15

Oh. Went to bed last night and cried for nearly an hour. Just feeling sad. Partly I think because my sister is due to have her baby in the next week or two.

Now I have puffy eyes and look like shit.

jaggythistle · 23/02/2011 18:16

Yay Terrys!

Been away all day so not been able to get on and reply :)

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 23/02/2011 17:38

Terrys, that is fantastic news, congrats!! Grin

mrsden · 23/02/2011 17:19

oh weimy that chart is looking very exciting, will you POAS tomorrow?

weimy · 23/02/2011 16:37

terrys Hurrah and Hooray!!!! Grin

harder Heres my link but I have been very naughty and missed a few days. i am a 27/28 dayer.

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/weimy

Have already got a BFN did the test yesterday.

Had a really mad dream about being a magicians assistant this morning, when I told DH he asked me if I'd like to hold his wand! Grin

Ochaye newgolden I don't think that dip is something to worry about I have seen pg charts that have them :)

VintageNancy · 23/02/2011 16:32

I haven't called in here for a while but I've been chart stalking big time.

Congrats terrys! and any other BFPs I've missed.

I'm charting proper for the first time this month. Here's my chart so far: nancy's chart

Husband is away until Friday eve so I'm not very hopeful of a BFP this month but it's good to have a go at charting anyway.

TerrysNo2 · 23/02/2011 15:30

Oh I forgot before - Karbea I have no idea if my temps this month were relevent to PG - they were much higher throughout and the coverline was 0.3 degrees celcius higher than usual?? They weren't that high during my last PG but then I MC that one so hopefully this one will be different anyway!!

Now getting paranoid that I read the test wrong - another one tomorrow me thinks!!

ochaye · 23/02/2011 15:04

newgolddream - you're chart looks a bit like mine. I'm almost down to the coverline today! I'm a bit grumpy.

Here's my chart harder - always happy to share Grin.

HarderToKidnap · 23/02/2011 11:29

Well done Terry!! That is fantastic!!!

My chart [http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3161d7]

I think it definitely looks like I have ovulated? My boobs are also a little sore. Had a progesterone test yesterday and will get the results Thursday. Had a tiny spot of brown yesterday on wiping - no bigger than a rice grain but have had a few cramps so not sure if AF is on the way. Normal LP is 12 days I think.

There are a few people on here who are not in my chart stalking favourites folder - ochaye, weimy specifically. Links please!!

TerrysNo2 · 23/02/2011 11:28

Thanks guys for lovely comments - I am walking round with a big silly grin on my face today. Still wearing the skinny Jigsaw pants though - don't want to tempt fate by taking them back and they are very nice!!

newgolddream I wouldn't worry about an individual temp dip, and at 5dpo it could even be an implantation dip. Keeping my FX for you!

MrsA I hope you and DP can get some good SWI-ing and that FF sorts itself out. I am sure it was wrong for me this month, said OV was CD19 (I thought 17) so today would only make me 10dpo and I got a pretty clear BFP so I think it was wrong as I am sure 10dpo wouldn't do that.

AuntieDoris · 23/02/2011 11:00

Wooohooo congratulations Terrys!!!!
