Having recommended this fab little gadget for everyone ttc I wonder whether everyone who has now got one wants to join a thread and keep each other posted on our fern days etc?!

Find info \link{http://www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk\here}!

About me: Am ttc db2 but still bfeeding dd (9mths) about once a day. No af since giving birth so no idea if ovulating etc but have just started using my isis scope :o

mine are never thre first thing, I get a full covering after brekkie about 3 hrs after...
I'm day 13 now and have had them since day 8 they were definite transitional ones though.
Very confusing, imagine it takes a few months to get to know your cycle maybe?

buffythenappyslayer · 27/03/2006 16:12

just licked again,and lense is covered!think dh might have been right,could be my bug affecting them?(am thinking germs will show up aswell iyswim)
so as soon as dh gets in tonight,i'll be ripping his pants off!!Grin

bobblehead · 27/03/2006 16:09

Buffy, I keep getting on and off ferns too, which I don't understand! I had one day transitional, then nothing, then next day a few more for 2 days now nothing!
Have dropped a few night feeds so was hoping for some changes.

buffythenappyslayer · 27/03/2006 14:35

did my licking this am,and theres no ferns!i had loads yesterday,so dont understand.piffle,ive got what your dd has got!!been up all night with banging head,temp,shivers and a sore throat from hell.i usually get tonsilitus quite often,but im allergic to pennicillen,and as im still bf dd,ive chosen not to have anything else!dh reckons ive got no ferns because im ill.he doesnt understand that i'll ovulate even if my head fell off!!am going to have another lick in abit,as i just dont understand why ive got no ferns today!

Piffle · 27/03/2006 11:38

Turned out dd has severe tonsilitis - of course this would have happened at 12am, we had to dash to after hours medical centre with her. She is on penicillin and resting a lot now.
Today ferning like mad, proper full screen bizzo.
Plus noting cm as well.
DP is off at 5am tomorrow morning til Thursday night :( So looks like I've missed the boat again with his bloody working away!

Piffle · 26/03/2006 20:35

Been at in laws since friday pm and dd (3) has been desperately ill, tummy bug, high temps and up all hours in tears, needless to say bd ing has not occured since fri am.. have not evne done ov scope all w/e as MIL feeds you from dusk til dawn!
DP is away at 5am Tues am (cd 14), so not sure if there is any chance this month but you never know! Will check for ferns tomorrow! I get ov pains usually day 16 each cycle so not had them yet...

musa · 26/03/2006 14:05

Buffy good luck, you go girl..............

buffythenappyslayer · 26/03/2006 13:07

buffythenappyslayer · 24/03/2006 20:13

oops!!left message for fastasleep on this one by mistake!!got myself mixed up there!!doh!!

buffythenappyslayer · 24/03/2006 20:11

my dh is going to his nans house to help empty it (she died in january) and hes taking my eldest lot,so will have a quietish day with just me,dd and ds(whose 6) am planning on letting him watch tv all day and play out (if its nice) so that i can have some peace and quiet!!hope you all have nice weekends ladies!
FA dh did it signed for so hope you'll be in!!

bobblehead · 24/03/2006 19:02

Think maybe I'm in the transition phase as I could see small patches of fern/crystal like bits- is that how it looks? When you get proper ferning does it cover the whole thing or is it still patches?

Nothing exciting planned for my weekend except letting dh deal with all the night wakings and early startsSmile

teacups · 24/03/2006 18:55

Piffle, I am soooo excited for you. Glad you have seized the day BlushWink! Sorry about your dilemma buffy - I suppose after your m/c it might take a while for things to settle down into a pattern. Keep licking and let us know if you get the magic ferns. I have never had them yet, but am still licking away nonetheless.

Any plans for the weekend ladies (apart from you piffle!!!)?

buffythenappyslayer · 24/03/2006 11:37

i dont know how to calculate when the middle of my cycle will be.am going by the day that i started bleeding and went to the doctors.(which was 6th march)i bled for 6 days but the last day was light.dont know how to work out middle of cycle,as do i do it from the day i had m/c?am confused!!if i go from that day,then i should be mid cycle and ovulating around now,but ive got no ferns,just dots!

Piffle · 24/03/2006 11:07

I'm on day 10 and on 3rd day of ferns Shock
Yesterdya was more ferns than the day before tody is LOADED. seems o early for me
Have been ahem, using my window of opportunity a LOT
You can argue the theory that sperm motility improves every 48 hrs so bd every 2 days - this theory has proved PANTS for us!
Or you can throw 60 million plus 30 million at an egg every day and hope like hell just one cracks it Grin

teacups · 24/03/2006 11:02

Sorry my last post was meant for Buffy not bobblehead [doh!] Sorry no ferns Buffy - keep licking and hope you'll get some soon Smile

buffythenappyslayer · 24/03/2006 09:38

just dots for me!Saddoing mine as soon as i get out of bed,so that by the time ive got washed and dressed its dry.clever little thing though isnt it?!

bobblehead · 23/03/2006 21:12

I have been doing mine first thing Teacups as I'm sure I never go that long without eatingGrin.
No ferns for me thoughSad. Actually my saliva looks very 'clean', there are just a few blobs there- is that normal? In the diagram it looks like there is more to look at, hope I'm doing it right.
Have cut out a night feed last couple of nights so if I can keep it up maybe see ferns soon (but thats a big if as I really like my sleep and dd really likes her nighttime feeds!)

Anyone else ferning?

teacups · 23/03/2006 19:34

Have you had a lick yet bobblehead? I had trouble waiting for a 2 hour window without eating or drinking to try mine out. Eventually did but no ferns for about 2 weeksSad. Think am about to have AF so will start again at the weekend.

Hope all well with DD

buffythenappyslayer · 23/03/2006 14:28

got mine today!postie put it through the door as we were at the hospital with dd.bloody dog ripped the packet open,has eaten the two free preg tests and is now feeling sorry for himself as hes been banished to the garden!little sod!!pleased to say that he hasnt damaged the scope!

buffythenappyslayer · 22/03/2006 18:02

got an email today saying its been dispatched.so hopefully it'll be here soon!i'm ok bobblehead thank you.just trying not to get my hopes up too much though!!it is hard,and dh says we should now wait as he doesnt think ive grieved.he just doesnt understand that i want a baby so badly.wish men had our hormones for a few days!!

bobblehead · 22/03/2006 15:24

Me too RubymummySmile (although deep down I'm yearning). I am working on stopping the night feeds, but will do as much during the day as she wants. I will just keep an eye on things just now (such as ferning and cm!) and hope to get some results when she turns 1- which is only just over 2 months away!Shock

Piffle · 22/03/2006 13:43

I'm temping as well, with proper bbt for the first time, its a pain in the ass...
Temp all over the show!!!!!!!!!
It's fine ferns, with ne or two dots
So will be interesting over next few days to spot a pattern!

Rubymummy · 22/03/2006 12:55

Piffle - you do get transition ferns as your fertile period begins - mix of spots and ferns together. Your peak fertilty and prob ovulation will be only ferns and very strong obvious ones! Your Dp will think xmas is early if you start now!! :o

I gave in and bfed dd this morning. Her little ecstatic face was worth knowing af will be even longer to return. Have decided to be grateful for the gorgeous baby i already have and stop getting so obsessed with being currently infertile :)

Piffle · 22/03/2006 12:20

Bloomin heck day 7 and I've got something that looks very like ferns!!!!!!
Dp home tonight aftr working away...
I usually get ov pains on day 14 of ym cycle
Am astonised to think could be fertile so early in cycle - bleed only just stopped spotting yesterday! We'd never normally embark on nookie before day 10!!!

musa · 21/03/2006 21:41

Buffy i ordered mine about 2 weeks ago, it still has'nt come, so im gonna ask them for a refund now.

I then ordered another one from ebay, which come within 4 day's. Hope your's does'nt take that long ,maybe mine got lost in the post some where.
