That's it really. I'm CD 6, having red days, planning my BD-ing & wandering if anyone else is in the same boat as me...?

Sorry about AF arriving Normsnockers.

CD12 for me & did manage to bd last night. The couple of times i used ov kits in the past (clearblue & clearblue digital)it showed ov at cd13 so it will be interesting to see what persona says.

Strike Looks like its up to you this month for a BFP hopefully you have tested too early & just need a couple of more days to get it.

Sorry Norms. Feel a bit weird myself, like I'm getting ill, thick head and very sleepy. Can't be pg symptoms as if I can get them, I'd surly get a bfp. Just an af waiting game. Hope it comes today, then I'll be on the same cd as you and we can compare symptoms!

Eldestgirl, that happened to me this month, so I splashed out and bought some ov kits aswell! Which said ov was around day 21/22. The doctor also sent me for a blood test which confirmed that I have oved. So maybe Persona just missed the window? No AF yet, but if I oved late that would be due today/tomorrow. Got a BFN yesterday though, so not looking good this month.

Hi girls ..yesterday was the first day of my cycle, therefore i have switched Persona on this monday. It's not as hard as i had imagined. switched it on & the Green light came on. The leaflet says that the first test will be on day six!

eldestgirl · 16/11/2005 02:04

CD18 for me on my 3rd Persona cycle. Still showing the red light. Again, finished all my tests and no ov sign. Relied on CM instead. Not very impressed so far!
Now the REALLY TIRESOME bit where I have to wait 15 days to test.

Hi all,

Just re-read these threads. strike1 interesting you DID ovo, but persona didn't show it up ? Ooh it's so infuriating!

Jag123, hope you are being busy

Norms & Strike fingers crossed for both of you! Couple of days before could do the trick Jag good luck for tonight and welcome Amandeep.

JAG123 · 15/11/2005 19:03

Hi sorry if i don't reply straight away i only ever seem to be able to snatch moments to post.

Mojomummy the reflexology was great & really relaxed me. As for the BD did plan to do it but DH came to bed late & i had fallen asleep.
Going to try again tonight.

Normsnockers You never know it only takes once sending you positive thoughts.

Strike Same for you at least you know that you did ov so thats a good sign.

Pinewood - Thanks for the info so i can expect to test for the next few days. Just hope my next tests get here in time.

Hi to Amandadeep

Have a good night all

HI, best to read the leaflet enclosed & take a look at the website persona.org.uk there is quite a good slide shpw on there as well.

But a quick reply is it works by detecting hormones in your wee. You need to press the m button in your testing window, then from day 6 you'll be asked to test (also need to check exact details).

Fingers crossed Norm. CD 33 for me and still no af. BFN this morning. My blood test results came back from the doctors, I did ov this month. If it happened when I thought, I'll be due on tomorrow. So hopefully I can get going on my 3rd cycle with Persona asap!

Thanks guys... JAG on the 2nd and subsequent months it should only ask you for the 8 sticks you have in one pack. So it should only ask you for sticks until CD17? I think if it started on CD9?

I've been using a Persona for conceiving for about 18 months but with a break where my hubby plundged my old one to a watery death (he said not on purpose but I suspect otherwise!! It took me several months to get a replacement.

Hi jag123 are you planning on BD'ing tonight ? best to do it ever 2 days so there is sperm ready for the egg. Just don't want you to miss it like I did (although I don't think my body is quite up to carrying a baby yet)

How do you feel after your reflexology ?

OP posts:
JAG123 · 14/11/2005 17:03

Fingers crossed for you Strike.

Thanks Normsnockers have just ordered some more tests just in case.

strike1 · 14/11/2005 16:43

Well still no af and all af symptoms seem to have stopped today. Might do a sneeky test tomorrow if nothing happens. Sorry about af for you pinewood Hopefully next month.

Sorry about AF Pinewood. The reflexology was great i've only just started up again after a long break.
CD10 for me had to test yesterday & today will it ask for one everyday now until ov?

How long have you all been using Persona for?

Oh well... AF this morning CD27 and Persona is flashing "m" at me - not this month then? JAG I love reflexology too but I haven't had a session for ages.
