Help, I'm confused!
CD 30 today. As I got the egg sign on days 19 and 20 I was expecting a 34 day cycle. I had a strange bleed yesterday (cd29)which lasted just a few hours and now I am fine. Usually AF lasts at least a week and is heavy. Not sure what to do with Persona today. I can't really press the m as I have nothing today.
Can anyone advise me on this?
Also wondered if the m appears from CD 28 no matter what length of cycle you have?

Hi guys. Wow - Congrats Snowballstrike - that's fantastic news! CD7 today I think I will getting my Persona O around Christmas day...! Must try that accupuncture thing

Congratulations Snowballstrike!! That's brilliant news.
CD20 for me. I hate this bit, and it's rubbish timing for Christmas drinks too. Still, had a glass of wine last night, it is the weekend after all... I am not very hopeful this month, given the incredibly bad timing of DH's business trip.

Many Congratulations Snowballstrike, that's wonderful. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Hi Ladies

CONGRATULATIONS Strike what a fantastic Christmas pressie. I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Go the Persona Thread

Cd16 for me got egg sign on 14/15 but as last month bd every other day up until day 12 then dh ran out of steam again (think we are trying to early will delay next month).

Had my works do last night so still a bit fragile. I haven't caught up on rest of the thread yet so i hope everyone else is ok.

Well, persona has worked on it's third month, with a little help from some accupuncture, I got my BFP this morning!!! Still shaking. I'm sure it won't be long before it's all of us, so get BDing ladies

Hi,

NN, I don't think you are being unreasonable and I think you did the right thing to push the doctor along. Some GPs do drag their heels a bit no matter what the situation is.
A friend of mine is 11 weeks pg. Her doc told her the earliest she could have her 12 week scan would be when she was actually 17 weeks meaning her 20 week scan would also be delayed. She is in her 40s and is concerned. The doc said to get it quicker go privately and pay £140. If it was me I'd be sending them the bill!

All the best with the tests.

Hi hope everyone is well? Norms no you are not unreasonable. I was disheartened the first time I raised my concerns with my GP because she said you haven't had problems conceiving before - arggg! Put it off going back for 12 months. Went back and showed her my list of period lengths and she referred me straight away to the local hospital fertility clinic and I had a blood test at the GPs on CD21. Funny result though... "Ovulation expected" not sure what that means exactly!? I have an appointment the end of Jan. I'm CD5 today.

I agree NS, not unreasonable at all. POst 35, I think it is sensible to get checked out quickly, as they can do more for you, the earlier it is. I will be off for a check up after Christmas if this cycle didn't work.

Hi Norms, I think you're being perfectly reasonble. The say if you're over 35/6 and have been trying for over six months you are entitled to some investigation. My GP (a woman) let me have a 21 day progestorone test one month to see if I'd ovulated. She said that if futher investigations are needed the more blood test results you have the quicker and easier it is to determine a problem, if there is one. Also, knowing that the situation is being investigated, sometimes relaxes you enough to let everything happen naturally! I would keep on at your gp to make sure you get evrything you're entitled too. Good Luck!

hi girls day 19 for me and still no egg!!!! does it mean i am not ovulating or just hasn't picked up surge, i'm not sure?? i see some of you had egg on cd 20/21 so maybe tomorrow, anyone else had long wait, i'm geting low now, because i am so over weight maybe i'm infertile?

My AF arrives between 9 and 13 days after ovulation (if I am counting correctly).
It will be interesting to see if your Persona machine behaves itself Normsnockers. It was quite temperamental last month wasn?t it?
Anyone feeling vaguely Christmassy yet?

Sorry Norms. I'm still waiting for 14 days from ov at the moment. Will be testing or expecting af Friday or Saturday I think. Good luck for the Christmas Season all!! CD26

Hi again,
I'm still getting used to the abbreviations too. At the top of the page there is a bit called useful stuff, a sub heading called acronym list is where you will find what you need to know. I sometimes forget and don't abbreviate.

hi girl's me again can anyone tell me what some of the shorthand things are ie "af" "dd" i'm new to all this so not sure thanks for your welcome

hi 3catstoo thanks for your reply my period due christmas day, typical!!! i have had 29 days for last 4 months so thought i should have had egg sign by now! that's prob why we keep missing each month picking wrong days, we to are trying every other night if i can get round hubby

Hi
CD4 and I woke up this morning and had a wee before I opened the machine oops (TMI?) I know I don?t have to do a test today but I shouldn?t get into bad habits. Thanks for your welcomes

Hi All

Shanks - Sorry about AF

Peachygirl & Busty - Welcome & Good Luck

Well i'm on cd11 & getting reds. I'm taking a leaf out of Mojomummys book & bd every other day except when i get egg sign when we will try to cover. (If DH has the stamina this month) I'm expecting egg on cd13/14 so we will see.

Hi Busty73,

Last month I had a 29 day cycle but wasn't using Persona then. This month I got the egg sign on days 19 and 20. So that would indicate a 34 or 35 day cycle. Have to wait until Christmas Eve to see!
So don't give up hope, there's still a chance to get the egg sign. Keep me posted. Good Luck.
