Hello - after a while of TTC with nothing but a chemical pregnancy I have purchased myself a shiny new CBFM in the hope it will make things a bit less stressful. I was an advocate of just having SWI everyother day but in reality that it quite a lot for me and DH and the poor thing works very long hours so not always possible.

I'm starting this thread for anyone else who's started TTC using the CBFM in the hope we can give eachother a little support etc.....

I'm on day 5 today so think i have to start POAS tomorrow......

Anyone out there who wants to join the journey?!!

Remember that in the first month it might give you a massively long fertile window, so don't get too shagged out at the beginning of it and have no energy left when it finally shows you the eggy. Good luck!

hey ladies - glad you're here!

nearly - yes, you are right so hopefully you set it this morning in the middle of what you want your 6 hour window to be. if you didn't then you can reset it tomorrow as day 2.

I did my first POAS this morning and all very easy. Feeling a bit more positive now about TTC.

Hi crystal how annoying that it stopped halfway through the month!

ok. So af arrived just now.

Am I right in thinking I need to start using CBFM tomorrow and put tmr as day 1?

Hi iloveberries I bought one to start using last month but didn't use new batteries and it stopped working half way through the month so I am starting again today in fact as Aunt Flo arrived this morning! thanks for starting this thread, the other one is huge and thought I'd get lost in there!!

Count me in!!! Waiting for af to show today probably, got my monitor and I'm ready to go!!!

Good idea starting this thread, was thinking of doing it myself!!
