Clearblue Fertility Monitor Support Group Buddies Vol 3!!

Harry - so pleased for you. You must be so happy after everything you have gone through. See i told you it would happen!

Now rest and take it easy for next few weeks xx

at your last post stormbird it really made me laugh! You never know though, could be a good sign, I have my fingers crossed for you x

Well, I've just phoned the early pregnancy unit and um going in for a scan on the 11th. I bought a CB Digital at lunchtime too - just to actually see the words and to make sure I'm still pregnant

ohh ohh ooh ooh, wait!!

I forgot to say I have Zero appetite. This is not like me, especially before AF. I could normally eat a horse, a scabby donkey that died from syphallis and a fly burger with maggiot fries on the side (all in one sitting) the week leading up to AF.

Starlet Sorry AF got you mate.

For reasons unknown, even to me, I POAS'd again this morning - I never have the urge to do this but I got up and just had to.

BFN, surprise surprise!!! I'm 10DPO, I have 4 days to go til AF arrives and no signs as yet of her appearing I always get phantom period pain about 5/6 days before so this is strange. I don't feel moody or anything. Friday and Saturday was sick both mornings, (hence the POAS before the hen do) this morning and today again feeling v. sick. then tiredness hit me like a brick about 1.30pm. A bit dizzy, but then again have always been that way LOL. Whats going on?!?!?

xx

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend?

Harry many congratulations!! That's really agood news and it certainly cheered me up reading your post!

Harry, many congrats! I can understand it must be hard not to worry but chances are that everything will be fine.

Pinkcustard sorry AF arrived.

I got a third high today and my Preseed hasn't arrived yet.I'm hoping that it arrives before my peak does .

Wow Harry! Thats great news - what a great result. Try not to worry ( i know its hard ) and just relax and enjoy - are you going to have an early scan in a couple of weeks to put your mind at rest?

Missy thanks for adding me

Storm glad you had fun. I know the general thought is that its not ideal if you drink when pg but plenty of people find out they are after a large night out and its absolutely fine so dont worry. Infact im sure it was a midwife that told me in my 1st pg that till the embryo starts to get its nutrients from the placenta a few weeks in that it takes what it needs from the egg to start with and thats not subjected to what you put in your body there and then ... might be wrong but was definately told that a long time ago.

PinkCustard - sorry AF came around for you Have to say wont be quite so glad to see it again at the end of next cycle as i was this one.

Hi everyone,

Congrats Harry I'm so chuffed for you - see I knew we'd get a BFP on here soon.

Sorry AF got you Pinkcustard Big hugs xx

Wow,.....again there's so much to read through. I'm getting a bit slack with keeping up to date with all the goings on. I promise I'll read through the posts as soon as the hangover disappears.

Yes, my head is really really sore. Was on a hen night in Brighton last night, it was a messy one. I ummed and ahhed over whether I should drink or not seeing as we're TTC and 8/9DPO but in the end I just decided to let my hair down. Any way I did an early PG test (one of those cheapie dip test things) on 7DPO to try and put my mind at ease and it was a BFN so although I know these results can change I just took that as it meaning its not my month this month.

Like I said.....I will read through the posts to catch up soon. Just couldn't resist congratulating Harry. Woopie!! Hope you are all well and soldiering on.

Wow congrats Harry, we were due a BFP on here!

AF got me, so I'm back to day 1 today

Thanks both! I had a cheap Internet test in the drawer missyraines don't know why I did it to be honest. I used a few of them when I last found out I was pregnant and they weren't very reliable. When I saw a v.faint line on the cheapy, I went out to buy a first response to confirm. I didn't even think that I'd ovulated from my good side this month but it may offer an explanation for the pain I felt last week - it could have been implantation which probably irritated the scar tissue around the missing Fallopian tube.

Oooooooo well done Harry. Gosh 7 days before. You were brave to test. FX for a positive scan and I'll look forward to hearing all about it as it gives us all hope in what we all have coming (some day)

Yay!!! Congrats Harry2007! That's excellent news! Let's hope you started a trend!!

Hi everyone,

Keziah I can honestly feel your frustration. I totally agree with the comments from everyone else. It seems wholly unacceptable and if I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for a second opinion - what have you got to lose? Sending hugs your way x

Boba so sorry that you've got another wait ahead of you but on the positive side, at least the ball is rolling

Rosieposy sounds like you have a positive mental attitude going there! Good luck with the CBFM.

Jenni fingers crossed that your timings work out perfectly

Well I have some news - I GOT MY BFP TODAY!!!!!

7 days before my period too! I'm excited and scared. So worried that I'll have another ectopic so needless to say I'll be booking in an early scan tomorrow.

Choccie, you always give good advice.

Jenni4, I don't get any signs of ov either. I believe you can ov anywhere from 24-36 hours after your first peak and the CBFM will always give you a high after the two peaks because there is still a chance on conceiving.

Rosie, yes, to get a window of 6am to 12pm, you want to press the "m" button until 1 shows at about 9am tomorrow morning.

Hi everybody.

I got my first high today so this month I have had a warning of imminent peak.

I also have some advice to ask for, I got AF an hour ago but i dont know when to start using the monitor. I am going to set the test window between 6 and 12 and the book says that if you come on after your test window you have to wait until the following day to set it as day one.

So given that this is the first time i am using it i should wait till tomorrow morning to swtich it on for the sfirst time and set the M button right? (Even though today is in reality when i came on) - hope this is right, any advice gratefully received

Hooray though At least AF is here now!

Hello Ladies! Well good news and bad news... good news went straight from low to peak... Bad news DH is still out of town and not due back for 2 days. I think we're out for the month.. I never get any signs of O, does anyone know about how much time you have after you see your peak? Just wondering...

Good post Choccie - i was thinking about PALS too but wasnt sure if that was their area or not (as never had to use them before)thats really good advice though.

keziah I hope you have a good holiday and have time to think things through.

I think what has happened to you is completely unacceptable. I saw someone on another thread suggested you contact PALS - here's a link to find your nearest office. I think it would be a good idea to start taking this further.

If I were in your shoes I would also write a letter to my GP, explaining what has happened with a bullet list of all your experiences (tests plus waiting times etc). And tell him/her you have been forced to resort to contacting PALS and asking them to help you.

In my letter to my GP, I would include the NHS definitions on 'infertility': "A couple will only be diagnosed as being infertile if they have not managed to have a baby after two years of trying" - you've been trying for SIX!

I would also include the NHS guidance on couples seeking IVF (I know you are not there yet, but it makes the point of how neglected you've been by the NHS because for this you only have to be trying for three years).

I think you have real and strong grounds for serious complaint. Not nice to do, but you shouldn't have to fork out huge amounts of money if you are entitled to this care on the NHS. Hopefully your GP will do something to help as well.

My heart goes out to you Keziah. I am actually really angry on your behalf. It's just not right.

I dunno Jenni, it stands to reason that you would get a positive two weeks after ov if you had conceived - its plenty of time for the conception, implantation and the hcg to multiply enough to show in your system. Its just a weird cycle thats all... bloody AF pain all this afternoon but still no sign of her.

Maybe this month like some of the ladies further up the thread you will not get a high but just a peak ... keep an eye out for it! (Your DH will get a shock ) FX'ed for you too

Hi RoseyPosey... You never know, there's always a chance until AF arrives!!

As for me, DH is coming home in 3 days, on day 10 now and still no highs. I think that's weird for a 26 day cycle. Maybe not, I don't know. I'm just hoping to get at least a high while he's home...at least I'll still have a chance that way. FX'd.
