Anyone using Persona to Conceive this month ?

Trace I just saw your post on the persona thread I got mine from Ebay. It was £21, some people on the thread paid less, otherwise you can get one from boots, superdrug etc they cost about £65. the persona website is quite good

hi ladies just to ask where the best place to get one and how much, been trying for a year, gp wont help, tried ovulation sticks from e-bay but dont know if they work

Jag try oil of evening primrose for the CM It's really worked for me get high dose capsules and take them up until ovulation. It's good for other stuff too, skin, tender breasts etc

Hi All

Shanks - I've got my fingers crossed for you sounds promising.

This is my 3rd month on Persona & i have had the egg sign each month 2 at 13/14 & 1 14/15. I always have to test cd6 then it usually starts around cd11 & finish 1 or 2 days after egg sign. The thing is with me for the last few months although i get the cramping around ov, i'm not getting the cm (sorry if tmi).

I'm into the waiting at the moment & trying desparately trying not to 2nd guess every symtom.

Anyway Good Luck to All

Thanks Eldest girl,
Its interesting you say that because up until last month I was ovulating on days 16/17, I temp too, so knew something was going on but last month, my first with Persona, I had lots of stress family bereavement , work v hard at mo and ovulation according to persona came on day 13/14. I have a 25/26 day cycle. Indications seem to suggest I have just had an Ov but the persona hasn?t picked it up.

Peachygirl,
Either you haven't ovulated, or you haven't done a test when your hormone levels rising indicates ovulation and so the machine hasn't received the information to put up the egg sign.
Your machine will decide when to ask you to test, based on previous data. I think it must change the test dates from month to month as it is looking for ovulation, the fertile period you ate normally trying to avoid if using Persona as contraceptive.
I have only had the egg sign up 2/5 cycles and have now resorted to additional OPK on the days I am not asked to test by Persona, just to see whether I really am not ovulating. I don't think I am.

Hi

I still havent got AF now 6 days late.I did test last week but it was on my AF due date.Not going to test yet as last time I was pregnant,it didnt show till 2 weeks past AF.

Hi Everyone
comiserations of AFs and good luck with tests. I have a couple of questions
Does anyone know why the egg symbol doesn't appear some months (I'm on my second month and haven't got one yet CD15 but all other indications point to ovulation now
And
after the first month do you always do the tests on the same days?
Thanks in advance

Hi Shanks Good luck fingers crossed!

Crossed fingers Shanks. Have you tested yet?
Good Luck.

Hi everyone,

Im now around 4 days overdue for AF,I have had slight AF aches and very tired eyes but thats it.So its a waiting game at moment

Hi all

Sorry about AF 3catstoo can't offer any info on the spotting.

I'm into the 2ww but don't know what day i'm on because i 've decided that once i got a green after ov & done all my tests i wouldn't check Persona again until af. I am getting to know my cycle too well & thought this might take the pressure off. I hope it doesn't affect Persona in anyway not being opened.

Hope everyone else is well & Good Luck

Hi 3Catstoo and everyone else on here! CD11 today started peeing on sticks again yesterday! Faint 2nd line today but not enough for the O to appear yet.

Got my Fertility Clinic appt next week and a little nervous to say the least. Don't know what to expect - anyone? I have had bad experiences with pregnancies before and I'm half expecting them to say and you want to do this all again!?

Good luck everyone

Hi,
Has anyone got any news?

My AF arrived in full last night, CD28, 6 days after first 'spotting'. I do hope this isn't a regular thing. 7 to 10 days of AF is bad enough without a 6 day run up!
My Mum said that she used to get this and she was given a scrape (sorry if TMI)to sort things out. Has anyone else heard of this. I am talking about 20 years ago so it may not be done anymore.
Sounds awful but I am willing to try anything to get things back on track.

Hi All,

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

CD27 for me. After the light AF on CD22 I still haven't had the full flow. Goodness knows what is going on.

Hope everyone else is having better luck.

Shanks just wanted to wish you luck & hope af stays away.

cd15 for me got egg on 13/14 but only mananged to bed on cds 11 & 14 so prob not much good but will see.

Take Care All

Hi Shanks fingers cross for you... I fell for DS1 when I had loads of bad stuff going on couldn't believe my DH had been anywhere near me that month but he obviously had ! Good luck everyone CD6 today so first stick pee'd on for this month!

Im on day 32 here and due AF on Saturday.I havent had any of the normal AF symptoms yet although Im getting sore nipples.
Not entirely convince that I could have concieved though as we didnt BD enough during ovulation.I had a lot of upset at the time.

Congrats to Norms and baby dust to everyone else trying

Hi Jag,
I wish it was but I haven't persuaded DH yet so pretty unlikely.

Last month I had a bit of spotting around day 29ish then got full AF on day 32. As it was only cd22 yesterday and I had egg on cd15, I thought it was a bit early even to be spotting a couple of days before AF.
Nothing today though!
Just have to wait and see when AF will arrive in full. These things are sent to try us...apparently!
Without Persona I would be in a complete mess. I always thought that OV occured 14 days before start of next AF.

It's great to see someone has had success with Persona on here.
Here's wishing everyone that same success.
3cats.

Hi all

3catstoo - Is it possible it could be an implantation bleed as it is early or is it a normal AF.

Mojo & Strike - Hope you are both feeling ok & not too sick.

Norms - Looks like Santa left you the best pressie ever.

cd13 for me & got egg this morning but same old problem we bd on Tue but i just know DH is going to be too tired tonight. Although this time i haven't told him what stage i am at so he doesn't feel forced.

Take Care All
