Hi girls...i have used all my sticks but bo egg signs. WHAT DOES THIS? does it mean i have not ovulated although i did have the pains & discharge. i have been taking 3 1000mg a day evening primrose oil & drinking loads of ggrapefruit juice - is it becuase of these. very confused as will be trying next month. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi all, CD12 for me and first of the 7 tests today. Just red, no egg. Got AF on day 38 last month so chances are Persona will miss Ov again. Having said that I got AF on day 27 the previos month so who knows what's in store this month.

thanks

Hi debbsy Yes I think the M is there until day 5.Up to this point you can press it on a day depending when your period starts. You only need tell the machine your period has started, no need to press any buttons after that just look out for the lights! Did you reset it?
Sorry about AF eldestgirl

3catstoo · 04/03/2006 14:05

Hi there,
You don't need to tell the monitor that your period has finished. It will have 'm' until day 5. It will ask you to test on day 6. I guess it determines then whether your period has ended.
Hope that helps and welcome to the Persona thread. Good Luck.
3cats.

trace2 · 03/03/2006 09:52

oh so sorry eldestgirl, how long you been trying?

eldestgirl · 03/03/2006 09:17

Af arrived today. Sigh. Back to CD1.

trace2 · 02/03/2006 20:51

thanks peachy

peachygirl · 02/03/2006 20:50

Yeah I think it's sort of an educated guess

trace2 · 02/03/2006 20:47

oh silly me,Blush no sticks left, so its just guessing

trace2 · 02/03/2006 20:45

so it dont read your wee then?

peachygirl · 02/03/2006 20:42

Hi yes it will do that from about day 25 I think.

trace2 · 02/03/2006 20:40

hi does anyone get the flashing m for af coming?

eldestgirl · 02/03/2006 07:27

Argh, the interminable wait for me. CD30. Am pretty sure I am not pg, despite ov and bd at right time. Have no signs at all. Just waiting for the inevitable AF and wish it would hurry up so I can leave limbo and have a drink!!
Trace2, sorry about no egg sign. I know, it's crap when it doesn't appear. Maybe see your GP?

JAG123 · 01/03/2006 19:26

Hi Ladies

Trace2 - Sorry to hear about no egg sign. Hopefully it might just be this month.

3catstoo - I'm glad you got some better responses from the other doc. I hope that if there is anything that it isn't too serious & can be easily dealt with. I don't know anything about fibroids.

I have kept to what i have said & not ordered anymore sticks for this month. so i am going to just go with the flow.

Take Care All

3catstoo · 01/03/2006 16:50

Well I went to see GP again today. I saw the good one this time. He did an internal and a cervical smear. He said internally all seemed in order but on examining my tummy he said that my uterus was enlarged which could indicate fibroids. He is referring me to a gynacologist. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long.
At least the wheels are in motion and I'm not being told to go on the pill.

CD 7 for me so will see next week if I get an egg this month.

Sorry to hear of no egg sign Trace2.

trace2 · 01/03/2006 08:36

day 22 and no egg sign, guess blood tests are rightSad, well i could ovulate one day

peachygirl · 24/02/2006 18:02

HI everyone
Reset day for me. sorry to hear about AFs and your naughty GP 3cats.
lots of luck to all!

trace2 · 24/02/2006 13:58

also, gp says if your 35 or over, and been trying for 6months, you should have tests done, so go to your gp, keep us imformed

trace2 · 24/02/2006 13:57

hi i was going to buy one of these from boots, but gp did tests, but also someone on here gave a site whats cheaper

summersun · 24/02/2006 13:46

Hiya all, yes a word on the sticks, I rang the persona helpline and they say if your collecting in a pot you have to time it for 15 seconds (exactly!) - now stand with mobile phone timer doing it to the second and have had egg symbols ever since - initially missed 2 - obviously they say you don't ovulate every month anyway so it figures you may not always be getting eggs. Feeling slightly brighter today following onset of AF yesterday, resolved to maybe try the Fertell test next month to check out our fertility - anyone have any experience of this?? Or advice?? me 35 dh 47 and no kids yet, ttc 8 months, my cycle is very regular just beginning to wonder if there are problems with either of us though? need to know but also scared to find out too, keep thinking it will just happen soon enough, how long do you wait when your 35??

trace2 · 24/02/2006 13:42

hi 3catstoo peeing in a pot, i find its better, i know, but had blood tests, they say am not ovulating, but gp says carry on with persona, because some months i may ovulate, so keeping my fingers crossed, that i do some months
