baby! great tip!!! I will definitely keep my socks on!!! I am glad to hear acupunture is going so great. I have never tried it myself. Who knows maybe after his month, if nothing happens, then I might also give it a try!

Have a great weekend everyone!

i imagine socks on when actually getting jiggy is probably not such a good idea for the old fertility..... bit of a passion killer i find!

engelbart · 15/08/2009 23:23

ooh yes, agree with socks being a bit of a passion killer Trixel, what a turn-off But then I guess if it works...! Glad you had a great camping trip, did you manage to do lots of bedding

cyncan- I got my BFP on my third cycle of using the monitor, so you never know this could very well be your month!

baby- good to hear the acupuncture is going well!

I've lost track with where everyone's at. Anyone due AF soon or thinking of testing?

I still follow you guys and hope you get your BFP really soon.

barrenbrook · 16/08/2009 09:34

Morning girls,

Congrats, albeit belated on your BFP engelbart! I got my first high this morning on my first cycle with CBFM. Day 8. Husband is night duty so I'll have to wait til he wakes up before pouncing on him.

Hope you've all had a good weekend x

salander · 16/08/2009 12:55

Am on day 31, tested as 3 days overdue but BFN.
Def don't feel pregnant tho, just wish AF would hurry the feck up so can get cracking again! Pmsl at the thought of everyone shagging with socks on, so funny!

Trixel · 16/08/2009 14:26

didnt manage any bedding when camping actually engel - we tend to have one child with us in each pod so no chance of nookie i'm afraid!
sorry for the bfn salander, that's really frustrating at 3 days overdue. that's happened to me a couple of times and it's just so annoying.
have decided to stop on the CBFM for this month - DH was cursing the blummin thing!! am trying to take no notice of what day it is and just let frisky feelings be my guide! am currently feeling frisky so jumped DH last night - will see what happens the rest of the month
however, love all you girls so am going to hang about here despite not using the machine if that's okay!

HI everyone,
im the one that couldnt understand no peaking on my opk, well you was right i found the manual and it said it may happen, im now on cd7 and its not rising yet, just hoping its gonna work as for some wierd reason i didnt press m in the morning so now i have to poas in the afternoon, tut im meant to use first wee for mine...oH and ive got my big fluffy boot slippers out- hot feet for me ;)

cyncan · 17/08/2009 18:42

Hi ladies!!

Nice to see you hear again Engel!! I hope you stay with us and let us know how your pregnancy goes!!

Yeah, don't recommend the sexy socks.. lol..

Salander, you and I seem to be on the same boat!! Today was my cd37 and still no AF... I did test on Friday and had a negative. I hope AF gets here soon so we can start a new cicle again!!!

Third one is a charm ladies!!!

Trix, of course you have to stay with us! We will need to set up another space to go to, once we all get our BFPs!

xoxoxo to all!

Vikks · 17/08/2009 19:30

Well? CD7 and POAS (started yesterday). I take it that it?s just the first CBFM cycle that you start this early, what?s the usual?
Barrenbrook ? I wonder when my first high will be. Tomorrow? How exciting! Did you pounce?
Salander & Cyncan ? Hope you can get cracking on with your new cycle soon.
Bubbalewy- We are cycle buddies this month CD7! Good luck

Vicki (with socks on!) x

monkeybumsmum · 18/08/2009 08:43

Hello!
I popped in a couple of weeks ago to ask you all about the CBFM - thanks for the advice ladies I went out and got one, and am now on CD6, so POAS for the first time this morning! Very exciting...

Baby what a great tip re the socks! I'm a flip-flip girl so might have to somehow squeeze my socks on whilst wearing them. Ooh, think have got some toe socks somewhere, I shall go and hunt them out

Does anyone else have v long cycles? My last one was 41 days and am worried that it'll be even longer this time and the CBFM won't work.

Good luck everyone!

cyncan · 18/08/2009 15:35

Hi Monkey,

My first cycle was 35, but now I am on day 37 and no AF yet... BFN this past Friday, so I am guessing mine will be long. Had AF symptoms yesterday, but nothing yet..

I think the monitor just asks for more sticks, so be prepared to use 20 each cycle.

xoxox

monkeybumsmum · 18/08/2009 21:10

Hi cyncan, have you tested since then? Hope it's not too long if it is a BFN, having a long cycle is real PITA!
Good luck!

Trixel · 19/08/2009 11:20

hi monkey, nice to see you again.
hope you're all well girls.
just wanted to say hi! no idea what day i'm on, but around mid cycle i think.
any changes cyncan? af, or another test?
x

salander · 19/08/2009 15:40

Hi girls, how are we all?
AF finally got me yesterday, weirdly quite glad - clean slate and all that. Bring on BFPs this month! Yes Trix you def have to stay even tho you have binned the machine for a while, course we wanna know whats happening with you!

cyncan · 19/08/2009 15:48

Hi Ladies!

Still haven't gotten AF! Haven't tested since Friday (which was a definite BFN) I really don't think I am pg. I think my body might just be adjusting itself?! This is my second month of the BCP... so maybe it is just screwy.

It is already day CD39, last month I got AF on CD35. I will try to be patient!!! Salandar, I think I will also be delighted to get AF, it will definitely be a new beginning!!

Any ideas ladies?

barrenbrook · 20/08/2009 08:59

Morning ladies, how is everyone?

Cyncan-any news yet? Good or otherwise? Have my virtual fingers crossed for you x

Bubbalewy-if you forgot to press m in the morning can't you put your morning pee in a pot and save it for when you have to test in the afternoon? X

barrenbrook · 20/08/2009 09:10

Vikks-has your high arrived yet? I had two highs on days 8 and 9 then peaks on days 10 and 11! I've been dipping (tmi!) as lots of ladies on here have said that's better. I pounced on the other half on 3 of those days but we were both so shattered last night we gave it a miss. Back to high again today (CD12). If anything the monitor has showed me i ov earlier than i thought! X

Vikks · 20/08/2009 15:47

Barrenbrook ? Got my first high today CD10! Perfect timing DH and I are going on holiday tomorrow so plenty of BD time. Just hope I don?t miss my testing window if I have any late nights. 2WW for you then; hope it?s your month.

I don?t think I?ll be able to get to a computer whilst I?m away so I?ll have lots to read about when I get back- hope it?s good news for everyone!
Baby dust to all, Vicki X

bubbalewy · 20/08/2009 21:48

Barrenbrook Yes i did think of the p in a pot thing and have done that now lol thanks

Vikks oh my cycle day buddy !!! iv got no highs yet,, which is wierd as i usually peak cd11 have a great holiday and lots or relaxing bd, so many girlies concieve on holidays STRESS FREE bunny time lol

Vikks · 20/08/2009 23:33

Fingers crossed x

bigbrofan · 21/08/2009 19:20

hi all, hope your all well... still checking in.... any more testings??? I am getting my early pregnancy scan on wednesday and am so nervous....keep your fingers crossed for me....xxxxxx

engelbart · 21/08/2009 21:18

Good luck for wednesday bigbrofan, hope the scan goes well, let us know how you get on. I've decided not to book an early scan and wait til the 12 week one. Have lots of strong pregnancy symptons at the moment so feeling hopeful

sorry about the bfn cyncan

hello to everyone else!

Trixel · 22/08/2009 09:14

hi everyone, good luck on wednesday bigbro, nice to hear from you engel.
hope you're all well
has af arrived cyncan?
x

cyncan · 23/08/2009 07:26

hi ladies!!! AF hasn't arrived yet!!! I am starting to worry. I guess being off the pill for so long screws up our cycle entirely. It will be CD45 and no AF yet....

I think I might call my doctor soon.

Good luck on your baby scan big and engel fingers crossed for both of you, do keep on telling us how it goes, and the symptoms too!!!

Ladies keep on POAS!!!

xoxo

barrenbrook · 23/08/2009 14:10

Cyncan, have you tested again or is it just your body playing silly buggers do you think? Hope all is OK and if you do speak to Dr it all goes OK.

Bigbrofan, all the best for Weds, let us know how you get on

Engelbart, keep us posted on your sticky bean and as Cyncan says all your symptoms too.

Am in TWW now, monitor shows me back to lows, CD15 today, 13 days to AF and counting...

Off topic but is anyone excited that The X Factor is back? Loving it! Sister Act and Triple Trouble WTF!!!! xxx
