Message withdrawn

Hi Everyone
Normsnockers what wonderful news!! Congratulations

That's wonderful news NN, Many Congratulations. All the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy. Any ideas on due dates yet?

CD22 for me and I had a bit of a shock this morning when I discovered a light AF. It's only 8 days since (first) egg sign. I will wait and see what develops before resetting the Persona. I must re order my test sticks quicker than I thought. My cycle seems completely messed up. I think I am getting too stressed over having another baby and talking DH around to the idea.

Well done Norms!!! I've just posted a message for you on the August thread. Congratulations. Good luck everyone, you WILL get there

Oh Normsnockers, I hope it is a BFP!! We need some more good news on this thread.
Not great for me. I don't think I am going to ov this month again. CD16. Have done all my persona tests now and have invested in an OPK to see if it is a bit later this month, or not at all. Am not feeling very fertile anyway.

CONGRATULATIONS NORMS! I hope that you have a happy & healthy pregnancy.

Amandeep Don't think that it really matters too much if you miss a test. It might just give you a few extra red days. Don't know much about the boy thing but have seen a few threads about it. I think it might be on ov day or after but not sure.

Hope everyone else is ok

Hi Ladies

Sorry i don't seem to get much chance to post these days. I hope you don't mind if i nip on now & again.

Sorry to hear about the AFs. Norms i would wait until you get a proper flow before resetting. Same thing has happened to me the last 2 months.

I have been getting my sticks from Access diagnostic too. Everywhere seems about the same.

CD10 for me did a test today got a red & there was a faint 2nd line so ov must be approaching, although usually cd 13/14.

Good Luck to us all
J

Sorry to hear about AF NN, you never know though it may not be.
Where do you get your test sticks from? I need to order more and didn't know if everywhere was much the same. I used Access Diagnostics last time and they were pretty quick to deliver.

Hi Norms sorry to hear about AF. It does look like you and I are on similiar cycles as I had AF turn up Saturday CD26. Was hoping the Christmas festivities would work some magic but nevermind! Off to the local Hospital for some tests in a couple of weeks as TTC 2 years now! Persona hasn't picked up ovulation the last two months so a little worried as I know it worked OK for the friend that I got it from, as she has DS2 14 mths as a result!

Busty,
If you have had a 40 day cycle on your first Persona cycle, the machine will think you have a 40 day cycle. However, it will always ask for a test on day 6 of every cycle, and it will adjust itself to your cycles as you continue to use it. It will mean that you will get a lot of red days next cycle as the machine will not be able to pinpoint when you are fertile as accurately as if you had had a 29 days cycle, but it still may be able to predict when you are ovulating, depending on whether it asks for a test on the right days.

Hi there Amandeep,

I'm on CD17 today. I got the egg on days 15 and 16. I'm also using a saliva monitor to check Ov. This gives a certain pattern when you are 'going to ov in next 3-4 days' and a bolder version of the pattern when you are ov'ing. I got the first pattern on days 15 and 16. This morning I got the full ov'ing one. So if that's anything to go by I'd say that you could probably concieve whilst the egg sign is showing and the day after. I think the egg sign means that you are due to ov in the next couple of days.
Hope that helps.

I've spent 2 days desperately trying to persuade DH, with no success. I will try again tonight, if he dares to come home after my 2 day bullying session!

Wishing you all a fab weekend.

Hi Ladies [Wink]! Need ur help again. I have been using Persona for the past two months & the egg sign comes up on day 17 & 18. Please could you let me know which is the best day to conceive.

hi girl's thanks for the replies,can i ask elderestgirl if it's the first month will persona still get it right somewhere near next month if it thinks my cycle is 40 odd days in the first instance or will it adjust as months go on, sorry to be a pain and ask so many questions but new at all this thanks

Busty,
Don't press m until your AF arrives. The machine will go up to 99 days on the counter (although I'm sure you won't have to wait that long). It only says to use Persona if your periods are between 25-35 days because for a 35 day cycle, 8 test sticks are enough to predict when you ovulate. It is supposed to be a contraceptive, and in order to achieve a 94% success rate, your periods need to be within these parameters. If you are using it to conceive, having a cycle of more than 35 days just means that the machine may not be able to pick up when you ovulate. If your cycle is normally 29 days, Persona will have taken that into account and will adjust when it asks for tests next cycle.

Hiya Busty

My test came up positive on day 31 but it was quite faint so I took 2 with me to the doc to get confirmed, she didn't do another test, just said no matter how faint it is it's positive.

Good luck hon.

also sorry to be a pain girl's but does anyone know whether i should reset my persona again as i am on day 40 today and you shouldn't be over 35 days or should i just keep going and press m if and when af arrives not sure what to do!?!? i'm gutted as this is first month on it and period gone awol, normally between 28 and 33 days, last 5 months 29days on the dot how frustrating
