I emailed the guy and he is sending it first class tomorrow!!

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 22:11

lol, no i'll try the other way with the button and let you know, if not i'll get onto the help line. thanks again.

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 22:10

you don't need to wait for any lights to come on to turn it back on (I didn't). But make sure you are holding down the M button before you switch it back on.

You possibly could just use it over the other info but I don't know how long it would take before it would be your info only iykwim (and you don't want her getting pg do you !)

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 22:08

thanks for your help Rudy. nite nite. on that note i'm also off to the sack. nite all.

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 22:07

the red, green and yellow lights should all flash

There's a helpline number to call 0845 608 6081 - they might be able to help and you don't need to tell them you bought it on ebay . (Just read apparently the line is open 7am - 3pm).

Hope you get it sorted soon.

I'm flaked so heading off to my pit now.

Goodnight all xxx

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 22:04

i'm leaving the lid open, (once it's switched it's self off then putting in the test stick, and then pressing the on switch once the red test stick light comes on and the display shows up), i press the m button as hard as i can without breaking it obviusly, and nothing. The M button must be ok as i managed to put it back to day 1 from the otehr lady's. will it still be working to her cycles even if I do the whole pee on the sticks or will it overwrite with my details?

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 22:01

only the red light that's on the test stick not the red light next to the green one

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 22:00

is just the red light flashing as all 3 shoudl flash when you get the 3 and the book symbol

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 21:59

munnzie - this may be a stupid thing to try but it says turn it on and let it switch itself off. not sure why but it might be different if it turns itself off when it's been opened rather than is just off. Also are you holding down the M button before you hit the opening catch to turn it back on?

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 21:55

right then, i've cleaned it, now it's off so i'll put the stick in and switch it on....(it's clicked into place so I know it's ok) switchin on.....on... red lights... 3 and book symbol holding down m button holding......... holding....... for about a minute, and no change to the display... any ideas? is it faulty?

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 21:47

hi rudy, i know, i was dead chuffed as well, (took all my restraint no to go to maccy d's!) lol.

i've done all of the things u suggested, am goign to try and clean the stick reader thign with teh water, then try again. They're fresh batteries in there but not duracel ones, I didn't htink that would make too much of a difference, I'm only on CD11, (i think OV day either today or tomorrow??) can ur OV date change each month by about 2-3 days as i'm sure it started out at 14, then again thou that was a 28 day cycle, now mine seems to be 26 days exactly. ooooooooooh forgot my angus catus.. can I take it after only a bowl of cherios..... don't see y not!

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 21:41

36 laps munnzie - v. impressed would love to share the choccy but...

not sure what's going on with resetting your persona. did you put new batteries in? It says that you can use a used stick to reset it so I presume it wouldn't matter that you're using an old one. are you waiting for it to switch off? are you sure the stick is properly in place??? I'm sure you're doing all these things - just trying to think of something that might help! Sorry not to be more use but hope you get it sorted soon. How long have you got until AF?

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 21:21

also had on on call* that was ment to read!

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 21:15

thanks ernest, will give that a try to, it doesn't matter i'm using really old sticks does it?? Oh also today I ahd an on clal positive for OV but a clear blue neg??? (no idea what's goignt on) even thou test results were normal this cycle the dr is still going to refer me to the Gyno. (3 month waiting lists! - Great!)

Tania2 · 15/11/2004 21:11

Well guys ds woke at 7:50 in the best of moods looks like a undisturbed sleep works well for him too. Not taking him swimming will do a make up class on Saturday so dh can come and watch. Hope you all have a lovely night and that af doesnt effect to many of us.
MommyDd WHERE ARE YOU???? HAVE YOU TESTED???

OP posts:
ernest · 15/11/2004 21:11

munnzieb persona says can't be used by more than 1 person 'cos can't deal with info on 2 different cycles. but if you clean it & reset it then it's absolutely fine. hth

Bibi20 · 15/11/2004 21:05

Sorry BeckiF - thought it was rhetorical!! Afraid I still don't know about PCOS and OPKs - but have got my fingers crossed for you that it all pays off and your premonition comes true.

Me, I only have premonitions about other people - but have had a 100% success rate (well only had two premonitions so far, so not qualifying for white witch status yet!)

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 21:01

oh and Jeddah, I sincerly hope that hester joins you for the next year, but hopefully it won't take u that long. what a pair u two make! lol.

BeckiF · 15/11/2004 20:59

Hello?! Any thoughts on my last post??

Bibi20 · 15/11/2004 20:50

Ooo Rudy Dudy - you are being positive - I'm just feeling resigned to taking forever to conceive (think I will eventually which means that I'm not a total pessimist) and have kinda lost enthusiasm for the whole thing - including the thought of going through the 'fertile period' bd'ing if I'm honest . When we started we were all staring into each other's eyes lovingly and / or giggling about having maybe made a baby, now it's all technical and planned - all romance gone out of the window for the week! I'm trying to forget about dates but it's proving to be impossible!!

Oh well, I've got the results of my blood tests to look forward to - here's hoping they find something simple is wrong that a nice easy drug will sort out pronto! I wish!

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 20:47

Right then,

Jeddah, Yes I did buy on ebay, and it didn't even take that long paying by cheque! when I pay by paypal once i've had my verification, i email the seller straight away and ask for confirmation they have recieve the funds. But b4 now i've paid via paypal on the thursday morning (at 7.am when I get up and been paid) then receive it on friday morning. so god knows where this bloke is coming from). If you don't have any joy then contact paypal to see what they can do, and I know it's cheeky but also ring ur bank and claim you don't know who made the payment etc... and the funds have been taken out of your a/c I know it's a hassle but at least you'll get the money back, whihc is the objective here. (if he says he's posted it or about to post it ask for proof that he has done it, as he can obtain a proof of postage certificate from R.Mail.)

Rudy - Yes the yellow light, i'm pressing terh button now the 'M' one and it's not working. In my book it says it can't be used by otehr ppl, is this true or just their speal to sell more moniters?, Oh and share the choc hon, 36 laps in the pool is enough to make u really hungry! lol

think that's covered every thing. sorry if it's not thou.

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 20:41

sorry to hear you're in the af club too bibi

just think of all the lovely BD'ing you'll be doing soon

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 20:40

Hi Tania

Really pleased to hear about DS sleeping through - you must feel like a different person after an undisturbed night!

Thanks for the +ve thoughts about AF - I'm trying to think of it like that. I do get frustrated that with a long cycle it seems like AGES until I will be O but I'm sure the lesson in patience will do me good!

Bibi20 · 15/11/2004 20:37

IrishLass - I think you asked about using a saliva microscope?

Best to use it in the afternoon, don't eat anything or drink alcohol or smoke for a couple of hours beforehand. I dab it onto my tongue rather than licking it and let it dry for about 5 mins. I can definitely see ferns on some days and these correspond with days that I get a positive result from the peeing on a stick kind...

HTH - Good luck!

Bibi20 · 15/11/2004 20:36

Well I'm afraid I'm joining today's af club... started spotting on Sat so didn't bother testing on Sunday...

CD1 - here we go again...

SilverLining - I missed Strictly Come Dancing on Sat - how was it?!
