Anyone else trying to get pregnant ? 3

Hi spikey, hope the chocolate helped (at least for a while!). Hello everyone else (you all seem to be Persona users!). I have decided against using Persona as my current problem does not seem to be getting pregnant, it's staying pregnant . I'm going by the 'every couple of days through most of the cycle' theory - though don't know how long this cycle is going to be...might be in for a long haul...

Bad luck Spikey, we all nkow what you're feeling right now.

Fingers crossed for you LucieB. Thanks for thinking of me, I am eagerly awaiting a period so I can start on my Clomid. Having an irregular cycle is such a pain, I could come on tomorrow or next month. .

lucieB - graduated a while ago - see Nov/Dec babies thread - but doing fine, thanks

Really hoping to hear some positive news soon from the others who've been here from the start...

Hi LucieB! Do you normally get sore boobs before a period? You say you just have the cramps. Do you stillhave your headache?
I'm doing fine thanks. I have had such bad PMT the last 2 periods after m/c and thought I should do something about it. I have started exercising again 4 times a week for 25-30 mins and I feel great - no pmt - so far!! I laways get it 10 days before and it's a real pain! Oh and defo not pg as we haven't done anything this month! Saving ourselves for next time!
By the way welcome Spikey - another Persona pal! I strated using again last month it's great isn't it! I know exactly when I'm ovulating and we'll be doing it from day 10 next month. My last 2 were both conceived on day 11!!!

Spikey
So sorry that things haven't worked out for you this month I am sure I will be joining the ranks of the disappointed in a few days time. Dot, Bayleaf, Jane, Elliot, dino, quackers, bunny2 and everyone else - how are you all getting on?

Came on properly late last night after all . DH tried feeble tongue in cheek attempt to cheer me up by saying the FA cup wasn't won overnight. Going in search of chocolate.

Am on day 28 today. Bit of stomach ache but nothing like the cramps I usually get before my period. However, boobs feel fine and not feeling sick or anything so expecting to come on in the next few days....

Spikey, my mom had light bleeding every month whilst she was carrying me. Good luck anyway.LucieB how are you getting on, what day in your cycle is it today?

Hi Spikey, welcome. Do you think it might be an implantation bleed?

Hi everyone, I'm new here but I've been addicted for a couple of months now. We've been ttc for 3 months and already feeling quite obsessive..I'll be 40 next year and I kind of feel the pressure's on a bit altho' DH is completely unfazed. Last month splashed out on a Persona and did get 2 Os on day14 &15 which I know now is a good sign plus I also used an ovulation kit & got 2 blue lines on day13. Period started on Friday but I only bled a teensy bit which is very unusual for me and it's been the same every day since - hardly any bleeding at all. Did a 1st response test on Friday which was negative plus boobs feeling absolutely fine so I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

LucieB headaches can be an early sign of pg. My fingers are crossed for you.

Great stuff! Yes it should work really well for you! It's only your first month and the red days will get less. I get day 6 onwards as red at the moment but I probably won't do anything until day 9. It's amazing isn't it I looked at the stick yesterday and the day before and the blue line was there - it;s not there otherwise! I'm really impressed. Persona should market it as a fertility machine too and just modify it a little for ease in understanding the lines for new users. They would make a fortune!!

I got the o signal on days 18 and 19 and red days up to day 21/2 (I think!) and from day 6. Am sure persona is going to be good for dh and I as we both work full time in demanding jobs so being able to narrow the fertile time down is helpful!
On the days I had the o sign, I also had two blue lines on the test stick.

About day 32?? I got red days from day 6 to today this month (day 16) I am fairly regular 28 day cycle generally (at the moment)Although last month I ovulated on day 15/16 and still had a 28 day cycle - bizarre!! You are considered regular by persona though I believe if your cycle is between 23 and 35 days - something like that. How have you found Persona this month? Did you get the o symbol ot did you go off the test sticks?

I reckon I ovulated on days 18/19 so will I be having a longer cycle this month? Last month was 28 and the previous month 29 days and prior to that was all over the place. Wondering when my period is due!!!

TTC now for 7 months. And have been trying really hard too!!! No pg signs at all so not hopeful. Don't think that headaches are normal pg signs are they?

You've got a lot more chance though by using that method. Have you been trying for a long time? Your periods won't have helped will they being irregular. I can imagine you do feel it bit crushed and frustrated that all the effort hadn't paid off that month. Why is anything worth having so hard to get!! Maybe it's to make us apprecitae it! Gosh we will! No my brain took a bashing and hasn't been the same since DD came!! Worth it though isn't it! I'm turning into my Mother she's lost her Marbles and she's only 50!!

Don't worry Quackers - I also get excited for everyone else but am more sceptical as to my chances! This was my first month using Persona so we were ttc on every red day! Exhausting! DH was rather relieved when I said that Persona might narrow it down a little for next month. As I said before (I think? Don't think I have regained my pre-ds brain cells yet!) I had two 'o' days too and ovulation pain which coincided with those two days...I have had so many months of feeling gutted I don't want to get my hopes up.

LucieB - you're message has come up twice!!

Quackers - good to hear you are getting on well with Persona. Am not going to test quite yet because my cycle has been so irregular. Last month and the month before it was 28 and 29 days respectively but it has also been 34 and 36 days in the last 6 months. I know that the disappointment is going to be so crushing that I don't want to go there quite yet!

Sorry Lucie B just remembered you'e my persona pal!!Been busy here lately and I forget things - usually the most important things too!!

OH LucieB I didn't mean to push - sorry. I just get a bit excited about pg tests! Sounds like your cycle is a little more regular than the previous months though, which is very encouraging for pinpointing the elusive date! Do you use anything to guage when you are about to ovulate or do you have a partner with brute strength that can keep on doing it all the time?

Lucie B are you going to put us all out of our misery and do an early test???? Purlease!!!
