Hi Boba, no I have never heard of your testing either. Glad it is working though!Am ok, just very sore!

This looks like it might be another thread for me to join!

I've been TTC#1 for around 13 months and using CBFM for 7. Although I'm sad that some of you are taking a while to conceive, I'm glad it's not just me. The only stories I hear are accidental pregnancies and people moaning that it took them 3 months!

hey everyone,

Used the CBFM for my 4th cycle and had period of low readings then high for a good 10-15 days then a low then ERTD. Any ideas what the diddly do is going on? no Peak is worrying me ...

thanks

Hello level and CrazyAlien :)

CrazyAlien - has that been the pattern for all 4 cycles or just this one? It is normal to have the odd cycle where you don't ovulate.

level - MN is a godsend! There's hardly anyone in RL I can talk to about ttc and it is 99.9% of what I think about!

PinkCustard - sorry you're feeling low too. Pleased your DH has agreed to SA though - all one step further!

Keziah - that must have been very scary. Hope the painkillers are keeping it under control and you recover quickly.

Storm - great to hear from you. FX you get that early scan and get to see your little bean!

Boba - great to hear that the tests are showing you are ovulating :)

Hello Lychees, littlefan, kitty and anyone else I've missed.

DH is away tonight but OPK was -ve. I'm hoping Wednesday night and Friday night will fit in with DH's schedule and ovulation!
I'm feeling even more broody than usual today and also v aware of friends and work colleagues that are/might be pg. Maybe it's my hormones! One of my work colleagues texted me to say she'd been sick this afternoon and I'm ashamed to say my first reaction was to feel Envy incase it was morning sickness! How mad am I??!!
I need an "I'm mad" MN emoticon!

pink it is really unfair and a crap feeling. However it is good to get the ball rolling and hopefully get some answers. Do you already have a DC?

essence totally with you on the crazy emotions, it's horrible the way TTC makes you feel sometimes. FX your ovulation fits in with DH's schedule!

Poor you Keziah just what you didn't need.

I know what you mean Essence about being broody. My friend is expecting his second and I was looking online for a gift, as it's due in a fortnight. I was thinking what ours would have, what we'd need etc. I started decorating the nursery in my head. How sad am I?

I had a smear yesterday and the doctor had put on my notes to check for STD's too as it's a different test apparently. The nurse was lovely and very reassuring that lots of women worry when it doesn't happen. Her SIL was trying for three years and gave birth last month. It did give me a bit of hope.
TMI alert
While doing the test she said "relax your pelvis floor muscles by putting your chin on your chest. That relaxes them. When you have a baby, because you will, that's what you'll have to do."
It was so sweet the way she said, because you will. It made me feel better about the road I'm embarking on now I've registered as 'having problems'.
I get the results in a week. Next is Hubby's turn.

I don't know if I want them to say they've found a problem or that everything is fine and to keep trying. In a way, if we knew something was wrong we could make plans for the next step. I'd quite happily adopt as I just want a child too love. But to start that I'd need closure on the biological child attempts.

As Essence says I too am feeling super broody. How lovely would it be to have a child, especially around the festive season. It's what Christmas is all about. Not for us thirty something year olds!

Day 31 and I'm getting cramps - grrrrrr!!! Angry
Definitely don't think I will be bothering to POAS this week. I will however be buying a pack of 20 to take on holiday so the whole cycle can start again!
Call me a pessimist - just not feeling it.

Ilovekittyelise · 23/11/2010 13:29

littlefan at least you havent wasted your money pointlessly POAS like me....im on day 26 and still feeling cramps, anger etc. have managed not to kill any colleagues yet but its been a battle.

agree with everyone re christmas. im finding it particularly hard not being pregnant at the moment. i saw my neighbour's cute little boy's wellies on the doorstep last night and it made me cry....marginally less embarassing than the incident in john lewis last week Grin...please laugh at me its the only way of getting throught these miserable moments!

Hey,
I meant to say that this is my 4th cycle and the 1st cycle using the CBFM.... is it normal to have just highs on it? Just embarked on my 5th cycle and 2nd with CBFM!
