Do you know what girls.......I am sooooooooooo pissed off.

Bought a persona monitor off ebay and we paid with paypall. Then gets an email from the seller saying that it will take 10 days for the money to clear and he will send it as soon as it clears (basically it will be with me in about 13-14 days!!!!!!)

I have started my period and it has been 9 days since I bought the monitor (money has left our account) I really really need it by thursday (cd5) do you think it is too cheeky of me to ask the seller to send it or will he think I am a right cheeky bitch"!

If I knew that paypall takes so long I would have send him a bloody cheque!

munnzieb I think you have just bought a persona monitor off ebay....well so have I. Mine too is second hand........what problems are you having with it!???

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 18:12

IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!

i've just spoken to my friend from school, (first time in about 5 yrs, and shes PG - 10 weeks! it's not fair, she already has two... i mean it's rude not to share don't u think!) lol (i'm only joking!) but still it's NOT FAIR! lol.

Munnzieb · 15/11/2004 17:41

quick question rudy, do u have to wait till teh yellow light is on b4 u can reset the persona, i followed ur instructions and it's not worked! thanks

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 17:07

hi jeddah - thanks for the kind thoughts

Starting tomorrow I will be using persona for the first time on ttc #2, which will be my second cycle. I couldn't use it this past month as I forgot to reset it after lending it to a friend

Previously I used persona when I got pg with DS. I think it's different for everyone but it took 3 months to tell me my O dates and then we got pg the first time it did! So as you can probably guess I'm a big fan of it. It's really easy to use and as long as you are ov'ing it will tell you exactly when that is.

Good luck for this cycle.

jeddah · 15/11/2004 16:42

rudydudy....sorry about af
Don't worry about your cycles......last month mine was 35 this month it is 23!!!! you just never know

They do say that a woman can be irregular in ov but the LP is roughly the same. I am dying to know if this is true......because I have been using OPKs and had some funny readings with them....I just don't know, but I have a feeling that my LP is irregular aswell, but will find out for sure with persona. If it is I will be even more pissed off!! but we will just have to see.

sorry again about af!

how long have you used persona rudydudy??????

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 15:55

AF just arrived for me

Oh well, at least now I know and can start using my persona rather than trying to guess what my body is doing!

A little frustrated that I have an annoyingly long cycle (38 this month) and so it will be at least 3 weeks until I Ov but what can you do about the body you were given??? Will have to cheer myself up with some practice BD in the meantime

Fingers crossed for your mommyD - no pressure but you seem to be our best bet for a BFP

jeddah · 15/11/2004 15:45

thanks runtus

rudydudy and mommyd good luck with the coming tests

runtus · 15/11/2004 15:42

Jedsah, my dr said he felt I wasn't ovulating because my cycles are so long....anything up to 40 days so far. As I was always pretty regular before I went on the pill ( a million years ago)he took it as a sign of something being wrong and sent me for day 21 blood tests, which showed I didn't ov this month. Now just waiting to start the pills.....

If your cycles are long as well, have a word with your dr - can't hurt!

RudyDudy · 15/11/2004 14:46

hi jeddah - sorry about my duff persona info - fingers crossed it comes before day 5!

I'm sort of due for testing but actually more likely just due for a late visit from AF. It's CD38 for me today and I'm 'usually' 35 but had BFN yesterday. I have no symptoms for either pg or AF and feel in a complete limbo land. Partly want AF to come so I can start using my persona and get some info and partly frustrated if I'm going to have an even longer cycle that it is even longer (ie at least 3 weeks) until I will O again.

Sallie · 15/11/2004 14:40

jeddah - best of luck with persona. It really is soooo much easier to use (and in the long run, cheaper) than opks.

jeddah · 15/11/2004 14:12

hester deciding how much longer to give this ttc is a difficult one!

I swore that I would give it until I was 41yrs! (I am 41 in 3 days)!!!!!!!!!! now that it is here........I just feel that I should give it another year! this is because I have only been trying for 1 year......So if you are strong enough...I think you should join me!....'the two old dolls back on form' we can do it together!.....come on... take my hand Hester come with me and we will travel this rocky road together

jeddah · 15/11/2004 13:50

sorry to all with af!!!! .....getting sick of her now!

who else is due to test besides mommyd!??? (good luck mommyd...have a great feeling about you!)

jeddah · 15/11/2004 13:47

tania ...sleep well talk to you tomorrow. Yes I would class as today so 24 day cycle for you

I do not have af visiting this early... my cycles are 29-35 days.....and this month it is 23!!!!! very very odd.
It is also very painfull and heavy! Persona monitor on its way...bought off ebay. I have been told that I have 5 days to press 'm' button so hope it comes by thursday!

twiga thanks for hugs
Runtus...can I ask you about clomid?......why did doc decide to start you on it. Just asking as I will have been ttc for 1 yr in Dec......wondering if the quack will refer me or start me on clomid???????? I bet you can not wait to get going with it!

How are you Hester?

Twiga · 15/11/2004 12:37

Tania2 · 15/11/2004 12:16

Bonkerz how long is your cycle usually. I would say yes that usually is a sign for some people but maybe just bd just in case. hth
Does anyone know the answer to my question???

OP posts:
bonkerz · 15/11/2004 12:12

ok advice please! am 10 days into my cycle and have lower back pain and sight cramping. Are these a sign of ovulation?

runtus · 15/11/2004 12:10

Morning all, just logged on for the 1st time since Frday lunchtime, very sad news for Hester. Our thoughts are with you honey......

Still waiting fo af here, on cd38 now. Did a hpt last monday before going to the dr's for my test result and got bfn, then told I hadn't oved this month. So I guess it is going to show at some point but wish it would hurry up. I have Clomid in the draw itching to be used!!!

Twiga · 15/11/2004 12:07

Hester, have posted on the other thread, x

Tania, Jeddah, Sallie and Mariella {{{hugs}}} x

CD20 here, not sure how many dpo as don't monitor, but think from cm that I o 6/7 days ago - can't remember now - chest still sensitive and sore, but that could be anything!

Tania2 · 15/11/2004 11:54

So sorry Sallie and Mariella about AF
MommyD best of luck with the test i really feel that a BFP is on its way sounds very promising
Wilbur Fingers crossed for you too not long now till you can test try to hold out so you dont get that too early -vie test iykwim.
Jeddah thanks mate that made me feel better thinking of it that way and i suppose i dont have to wait so long in between cycles too. your not usually this early are you? how do you know that you dont ov earlier? Iam nuts but iam glad that this af is a real doosy after last month when i had such a strange one now i know that this month i am having a proper one and releasing lots and lots of eggs. It is so unbelievelby heavy and painful that i would think that iam sure to be releasing lots. Question if my af started last night at 1 ish would i class that as today or yesterday???? today would be CD25 so i would have a 24 day cycle???
