Anyone using Persona to Conceive this month ?

[Mojomummy]

That's it really. I'm CD 6, having red days, planning my BD-ing & wandering if anyone else is in the same boat as me...?

Im thinking about buying persona, would you recommend this? I just need advice? thnx

Hi Divamummy

I found my cheaper to use than the ov sticks. I bought a second hand one off ebay. I find my quite useful. I tend to us mine for a couple of months then quite a break & start again. Its helped me find out about my cycles & show egg sign cd 13/14. I have seen a few posts though saying it didn't show egg sign.

Good luck
J

I know it's been ages since I posted, but I thought I'd let you know, another BFP with the help of Persona!
I got the ov sign on cds 17/18, and bd on cd 16, 17 and 18.
I can't believe. So in denial that I didn't even do my first test until this morning - cd38!
Have had a little bit of brown spotting, which makes me nervous as I have never had that before, but anyway, we'll see.
Good luck to everyone else on this thread.

Congratulations Eldestgirl thats great news.
Gives us all hope

Wishing you a healthy & happy pregnancy.

Thanks JAG. I am still in a state of disbelief. I would never have done it without the Persona.

eldestgirl, congrats so pleased for you!

Hi All,

Many congrats Eldestgirl. Wishing you a wonderful and happy pregnancy.

2 BFPS in as many weeks. Are we on a roll?!

Well I'm having my laparoscopy tomorrow and feeling very nervous, especially as AF arrived yesterday. Apparently it doesn't matter, it just makes things messier and more uncomfortable for me.

I'm hoping I recover quickly but don't really know what to expect.

Hope everyone else is well.

How are things with you Jag?
DH is still not convinced this end but to be honest I've dropped the subject since our big debate. Mainly because OV won't happen until after the op and I need to get that out of the way and heal before I even think about it again. But then it will be full steam ahead and probably back to the arguing again.

Best wishes.

I just read Trace2's thread. She too is pg. She came on this thread a few times.
She had used Persona previously.

Congrats to her too.

hi all just like to say i got my bfp today, 3rd cycle of clomid, and yes i used a persona, i was told i was not ovulating ,but person gave me an egg on day 12, and got a temp rise on day 14 so it does work,

oh i was tryingtohard the last few posts!, i did a name change, but am back,
babydust to all, i really hope you all join me on the march thread soon

Hi Trace2, So pleased for you.
So were you using persona when you conceived?

All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy. Keep us upto date on how you are progressing.

thank you, yes i was, i was told not to use it but i still did, and used sticks too got same reading on both

Congratulations Trace i'm so pleased for you.

Wow we're on a roll now. Thats good to hear about egg sign being right. I get the egg sign most months so hopefully thats a good sign.

Good Luck for tomorrow 3Cats. I hope its not too uncomfortable for you. I got my AF today so it looks like i will have to keep my fert app on the 27th (was hoping for a miracle never mind).

Well I had my op yesterday. Still feeling a bit spaced out and very very sore.

The outcome was not as expected. I don't have endometriosis. I have a prolapsed womb.
The consultant was very brief and just said that the treatment would be to remove it but that would leave painful scar tissue. The womb is also enlarged which is causing the abnormal bleeding.

I have to see him in 2 weeks. Originally he said 6 weeks. I can't be told something like that then wait 6 weeks to find out more so I changed the appointment.

I am interested to find out what my chances of getting pregnant and carrying a pregnancy with a prolapsed uterus are. I had not heard of this. Friends have since told me that their mum's had it and had hysterectomies to treat it. But they were much older than me.

I hate being given a snipet of information and left to think all kinds of things.

DH doesn't really mind as he doesn't want another anyway. So heaps of sympathy coming from him.......not.

Well I must go and sleep now as DH has taken 2 of the children swimming and DS is at a friends for tea.
The anaesthetic (spelling?) really took me by surprise. I feel so out of it and terribly emotional. I cried on at least 3 mums at sports day this morning. DH was very embaressed and told me off when we got home. I can't help it.

Hope your appt on 27th goes well Jag, I'm sure we'll catch up before that anyway.
Are you using Persona now? Did your sticks finally arrive?

Best wishes

CRASH

Sorry to hear your feeling blue 3catstoo and DH is not being nice to you.

Jag123 is your appointment on 27th your first one? It just i have got mine on 31st and was wondering if you could let me know what happens etc.

thanks

3cats - I'm really sorry about your news. I hope that it is something that can be fixed without having to go to extremes. Have you managed to find out any more info on in? I'm sorry that your DH isn't being very supportive men can be so insensitive sometimes. I'm here if you need to rant.

My tests did arrive so i'm going to test this month & will hopefully get an egg sign before my appointment.

Hi Natty yes its my first appointment. From the information that i was sent i know i will def have to have an internal. I also had to give my DH full name & GP. I will let you know how i get on. I'm dreading it. Good Luck for the 31st.

Take Care

Hi Jag

How you feeling? I am starting to get a bit nervous now. You?

Have a horrible feeling my period will arrive whist i am at the appointment or just before. Does it say anything about this your information?

can i ask why you have the appoinment? You have prob said before but i have a memory like a seive somedays. i am going at Gp thinks i do not ovulate which i agree with and have been trying a year now.

Don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

Hi Natty

Yes same as you starting to feel a bit nervous & not looking forward to being messed with.
In my info it said that you would have an internal unless on your period. Hopefully yours stays away.

I don't mind telling you why i'm going for my app.
5 years ago i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had to have chemotherapy so its possible that i won't be able to have another baby. I have carried on having reg AFs and also get the egg signs most months on cd13. So i take this as a good sign. I was given the go ahead to start ttc in Sept 04. I was happy to just leave it nature, but now its been quite a long time i feel like i just need to know one way or the other.
If its meant to be it will happen.

I think i'm going to be on cd17 on app day so i wonder if an internal will make any diff if i have ov on cd13? I suppose i will soon find out.

How are you doing 3Cats?

Thanks for that, sounds like you are ovulating so maybe it's just stress, like you say nice to know one way or another.

Best of luck for next week i hope it give you the answers you want, don't forget to post and let me know how it goes.

thanks again.

Hi all,

CD10 for me. Still bleeding though. I was told that the laparoscopy and hysteroscopy would make me bleed for 10 days and feel period pain. It's been a week now and things are slowing down a bit. I did have AF anyway when op was done so all over in one go at least.
Have to see the Gyny on 1st Aug to discuss further. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will go quickly as I am desperate to find out what my options are.
Dh is not really discussing at the moment. I won't push until I ve been and know where I stand health wise.

Good luck with your appts, do let us know how you get on. Will be thinking of you.

A friend of mine still had an internal when she had AF. I don't think it matters too much. I think when you've got an appointment booked it's difficult to know exactly when AF will come so they must be used to it. Hope it doesn't get in the way for you though.

Best wishes
3cats.

Thanks 3catstoo, am sure the 1st Aug will come around quickly, take i easy in the meantime. x

Jag - All the best for your appointment today.
We'll be thinking of you.

Good luck to Natty too for Monday.

It's too hot for me to sleep and I have growing pains in my legs. I seem to be getting this alot lately, it must be the heat.
I've tried the usual massage and lavender oil but it's just not going. So I've resorted to getting up and coming on here at some silly hour.

Dh glossed a lounge door earlier on so it smells downstairs now. Still it's cooler than upstairs. I might have to buy a fan tomorrow. DH refused to get one today but I can't cope with another night like this.

Best of luck and keep me updated.
