which persona?

[mad4girls]

hi guys im fairly new to all this and still trying to work out my cycle,after being on the depo jab for 12months have been ov testing and noting pain spotting etc for about 12 weeks last jab was 6th feb,

i seem to be getting regular periods and have bought a digital persona which i will start using for the 1st time when af arrives in about 7 days

but anyway what i wanted to ask was are there different types of persona and is anyone else usng the same one as me and is there any way of reseting it if you start when you think af has arrived but it turns out it just spotting asi had heard of others who had reset thr persona was this the same model.

sorry for all qs im new and please reply in english as not up on all the lingo many thanx all info gratefully recieved.

As far as I know Persona is a brand name and so there is only one. You can get a BOots version but it's not called Persona.

There is a Persona thread on here. I'm no good at links so I can't show you where to go, sorry.
Check the concepion topic and see "anyone using Persona to conceive this month".

You have 5 days to press the m button.
I usually get 3 - 5 days of spotting so I always delay pressing M until I know it is full AF. Having said that it is usually pretty obvious with me when AF rather than spotting. When you press the button it will flash with a 1 twice. If you keep holding it down it will change to 2 and flash that twice. So on until it gets to 5. So you have until day 5 of your actual cycle to press the m and get it on the right day.
Does that make sense?

Hope Persona works for you.
There have been a few BFPs on the Persona thread lately.
All the best.

hi there thanx for the info

i think there must be 2 kinds of persona as people talking about buying addtional kits etc as something you need to keep testing while the one i have just takes tempreture i think there is an ovulation one and a tempreture one both y persona

anyway thanx for the advice hope to chat again soon wish me luck and same to you

The one I have is the 'pee on a stick' kind.
You insert the stick into the Persona and it reads it and tells you if you are on a red or green day or if you are about to Ov. They cost about £60 new and then you buy sticks at £8 a month. I got my Persona on ebay for £18 incl postage.

I've not seen the temp one.

thanx for that cats think i might look in to getting that one as it sounds like it gives more info than mine i got it in the boots sale for about 20 pounds but they are 99.99 new so i thought it would be good has an alarm to take your temp everyday, has a digital screen and tells you when your fertile period is etc and stores your info to look back on,it can be used for contraception as well iyswim

thanx for the info going to look on ebay now
