CB Trial - what on earth are we doing?!

254 replies

Thought it might be useful to have a place for the ladies doing the CB Trial to chat and ask questions.

All my kit turned up at the weekend and the amount of information was overwhelming. Thought I can't be the only one that might need a little help through this process, and a bigger fridge! So please come and join if you are taking part, we can get through it together.

AF due about 19th so assuming we start on CD1 (?) I will be peeing away from then!

Hello everyone, is it okay if I join in? I have my massive box of things, and it is a massive box, however due to a brief hospital stay I am going to have to start my trial on my next AF as missed the first few days of this one. Exciting times!

I have a quick question for anyone testing the CBFM, I have a sort of memory card thing with mine, what are we supposed to do with that? I will read the instructions properly before I start, but it all seems quite complicated!

Impressed there has been one BFP already!

I forgot to collect my wee today. Fail as only 3rd day!

Pipbin · 20/08/2012 12:08

Mama I'm not saying you can, I'm just saying I did. It was an accident!

Got my egg today!

MyMamaToldMe · 20/08/2012 12:00

Congratulations 10storey!

I was giong to ask about the stretchy stuff today, but now have my answer!

So I start using the FM tomorrow - day 6 - should be interesting trying to remember to do all this stuff 1st thing in the morning!

I'm reallly impatient - just want my fertile days to be here already so we can try again. Was really hoping that last month would have worked out, but it didn't so fingers crossed that this month is the month!

Pipbin - I would have def clocked the sample! Reassuring to know that they can be left out of the fridge for periods of time - now I know I can leave it in the bathroom and go back to bed and put it in the fridge when I get up properly.

Pipbin · 19/08/2012 20:35

Well they asked us why we are moving and we said that we wanted a bigger house as we are hoping to start a family. So if they did notice it then hopefully they will have figured it was to do with that.

NicolaHazel · 19/08/2012 19:46

Was it a couple? If so, you can bet that one spotted it and the other didn't. Now they're arguing about its existence!

Pipbin · 19/08/2012 19:36

Thing is that the sample was in amongst all my other bottle etc and I had been to the bathroom a couple of times, as had my DH and neither of us had noticed it. I was on the top of a chest of drawers rather than on the edge of the bath. I'm just hoping they didn't notice. A pot of wee is quite grim and enough to put someone off!

LisaC2611 · 19/08/2012 18:11

Oh dear pip I nearly did the exact same thing yesterday. Had left the pot on the edge of the bath and left the light on to remind me, hubby being his usual helpful -read interfering- self turned the light off. I just about remembered in time!!

NicolaHazel · 19/08/2012 16:43

Ha ha...that is really funny! I bet they did notice and are now discussing what you're going to be testing for!!

Pipbin · 19/08/2012 16:42

OMG So I did my sample this morning like a good girl, stuck the label on and forgot all about it and left it on the side in the bathroom with all my other bottle etc.
Not such a problem, bathroom is cool enough but our house is on the market and we had some viewers today. This means that the sample was on the side in the bathroom when I was showing them round the house!
I don't know if they noticed!

NicolaHazel · 19/08/2012 16:02

I've been really dim and written the month number, not the abbreviated word on my stickers etc.

I really should have read the instructions first, though not sure what difference it makes. :-/

LisaC2611 · 19/08/2012 16:00

Congratulations 10storey. Woo hoo our first trial bfp.

I requested my second box of stuff but need some more of the plastic film as I've nearly run out thanks to running out of it first time round and giving them the wrong volunteer number!!

Pipbin · 19/08/2012 14:11

Congratulations 10!

Do you have to request the next box of stuff?

DulcetMoans · 18/08/2012 22:39

I love the stretchy stuff! I used quite a lot on the first couple hut then I realised how much it stretches so probably only use about 1cm width now.

My second box arrived yesterday too, im onto three little boxes now. Best post my other one off!

OP posts:

Pipbin · 18/08/2012 13:28

I am testing the CBFM and I have one of my own too, which I bought second hand.
So I once their one has taking a reading I swap the stick over to my one.
Now, last month, which was the first month of me using it, it gave me a peek a week early. I knew it was early because I temp as well.
This time my one gave me a high reading much earlier than their one, although neither have yet given me a peek.

Ellypoo · 18/08/2012 09:56

I've been using about 3 cm of the film stuff but I'm now on cd23 and iv nearly run out! Second box arrived this am - naughty postman woke me up at 7.30 - !!!

NicolaHazel · 18/08/2012 09:32

Ok...so that stretchy stuff is odd. How much is everyone using for each pot?

First one in fridge. Wonder when H2B will spot it (not mentioned it yet!)?
