CB Trial - what on earth are we doing?!

I know, I wonder if the people at the lab are like: 'look at these guys, three times in one afternoon'. And, 'no wonders these don't have any kids, they don't have sex'.

The box of sticks mentions starting testing on CD6, Jessie, so that's what I did.

Does anyone else feel like they should be upping the DTD as we are keeping a diary?!

Hi everyone, am on day 5 of cycle 1 here and am really excited about being part of this trial! It is a lot to remember in the morning (hat, labels, etc) but can't wait to start poas starting in a few days time. Never tried these before so looking forward to seeing that happy face!

Congrats 10 on the threads first BFP!

I also emailed them about it as well as hubby doesn't want me to take it on holiday either, which I can understand. See what they say.

Thanks, Elly...I'm not storing wee on honeymoon in Iceland in 7 weeks' time!

Pip, I imagine everyone forgets every now and then. I have to lay it all out in the bathroom before bed so I remember.

Have emailed to ask about holidays - will let you know when I hear back from them :)

Balls, forgot to wee in a pot and on a stick this morning.

I would wait until the end Dulcet. They might well ask for everything back.

Lisa, I might be wrong but im sure I read something in the instructions to say you can only use the test holder with the tests supplied in the box?!?

I forgot that the did the OPK sticks with a reader thingy.

I too have wondered about the point of keeping them cool. I doubt that Royal Mail are going to keep it all in a fridge.

combat I am on the smiley face kit, that's interesting as I was just planning on using the same tester when I open the next packet rather than cracking open the new one!

I'll have to give it a try. Still using last month's supply of tests.

I'm only on day 9 of cycle 2, so was quite surprised to find a new box waiting for me. Will see if it is for cycle 3 when I get it.

wow we have a BFP, congratulations 10storey!

I think the CB dispatch team must be working on overdrive. I have also had a new box; with my cycle 3 supplies and I am only on day 11 of cycle 2!

I'm jealous of those of you who have been sent a fertility monitor, I was disappointed when my first box of stuff came and I got smiley face OPK kits.

Lisa are you on the smiley face kits and pipbin the CBFM? I think the smiley face sticks are unique to the reader that comes in the box with them but with the CBFM you get one monitor and then the sticks are universal to any CBFM. Does that make sense?

I haven't sent any wee back for the last 9 days though (am just about to send the next lot as the small pot is nearly full). I left a message ordering my next lot a week before AF was due and have had another lot delivered yesterday - v strange!

As I was at work when it came it is being redelivered on Saturday morning so will see what is in there when I get it and whether I get just the sticks this time or whether they send me another test.

Did whoever was going away email them to find out what to do about piap whilst on holiday. I have the same issue (and my hub doesn't really want me to take the pots on holiday with us) so wondered what they had said.

Maybe a delivery is triggered by wee arriving with them?

Why do we have to keep it cool, as it'll warm up on the way back to them!!

Well, my box has just arrived too! I've not ordered anything.
No new CBFM but plenty more pregnancy tests and CBFM sticks.

Really Lisa? I too have assumed that it would just be another bunch of sticks!

No only received one helmet bowl. Have received 2 of the actual testers that you put the sticks in. I thought I would just get the sticks this time, but got the whole thing again. Will see what's in the new box of goodies when I get it on Saturday, I could end up with 3 of them!!

Wow...lots of POAS action. I assume you don't get the awful helmet in every box? I still PIATH and pour from there into the tub.

Need to keep on top of the diary too, as I'm not filling that in every day. A weekly chore maybe.

First OPK use today. As suspected, no surge yet. Bit early, I suppose!

I seem to have been sent another box of goodies although I had one on Saturday last week

Oh well saves me emailing them for more plastic film

I just laid all the kit out for the morning as it's my first OPK day tomorrow. It's quite a lot of stuff!!

I would email them.
When I have done that in the past they have helped really quickly.

Hmm, am going to Spain for work for a few days in September - taking hand luggage only so can't really collect (or store) samples while I'm there. Do you think I should call them to let them know, or just write a note in the book? It will be 4 consecutive days that I won't be able to collect them.

Sorry can't help mech (waves!!) I haven't been sent the CBFM, just the OPK sticks.

From what I recall you put the card in after you have pressed the m button. But don't quote me on that.
