Hi all - thought I would start this as it would be great to haveothers to share this with.

This is me:

ttc no. 3 since aug 08
mc sept 08, dec 08
UCL 34 days
1st month of CBFM currently CD12

Anyone care to join me..??

Hi everyone just an update from me, im 13dpo today i a test yest, bfn. I did have bit pain and spottin from 9dpo for couple of days, but iv learnt that dont mean nothing! spoke to the gynea had swabs, internal, got bloods to do as well all the usual gumf.. when i mentioned about the cbfm if it was any good, i got a non reactive answer sort of like she didnt really know herself!! she just sort of swam her head around silly bitch I WANTED ANSWERS lol, well anyway they did say that i may be referred somewhere else for more tests.. depending on what the results are, also asked about our professions smoking etc.!
I may test in the morning as AF usually comes by 14dpo. im still only cd24 though as i did ov bit earlier this month. Only got 1 cheap hpt left
Good luck to everyone in the 2ww xxxxx

bubbalewy sorry about the bfn hun. Silly Dr! If she is testing to do with reasons you haven't got your bfp yet surely she should know about the cbfm as, you can't be the only woman she has seen that is having probs falling preggers and is using a fertility monitor. When will you get your results hun?

Bubbalewy - Are you ok? Did you test again?
Any chance you can change Doc's to someone who can answer a question regarding the medical field they were trained in!!! I feel your pain, she must be new!

8DPO for me and driving DH crazy with symptom spotting. It hasn't helped that one of my best friends has just given birth. I phoned her for the details and got 40 mins of how wonderful, amazing and blessed she is with her new son. I am over the moon for her of course, but she is one of my friends I confided in and since the day she found out she was PG, she hasn't asked about me. Am I being too senstive?

Anyway I cheered myself up by going to see 'New Moon' at the cinema. Wow I love that film.

Hello to everyone! x x x x x

Hi all, well AF showed up on exact day 14 dpo, so the CBFM must be right with when i ov as this is usual for me. clever thing huh.. Yeah i am pi88ed off, as you expect some answers to questions with these specialists, Im thinking that they feel underminded by these digital things, and are so full of their own self worth that they dont want to admit that they do work! anyway rant over:: Im waiting for my scan appointment now and must have bloods done 2mo as cd2, i was told to get my results after all my bloods come in so prob in a month, but if anything shows up from the swabs then they will let me know. shmoo75 the silly dr quote made me laugh, chuckle.
vikks hope the film cheered you up, maybe yr friend is just not sure what to say, for me some days things can bother me, then the next day im ok with it! maybe if you broke the ice again and spoke about it she would be someone good to chat to. Then there`s always us lot hun and 8dpo ohhh how exciting you must tell us every symptom ok??

vikks I understand how you feel hun I really do. She should ask how you are. A good friend of mine that I work with is due in Feb and she keeps apologising to me saying she doesn't want to rub my face in the fact that she is preggers and I'm not especially after my 2 losses. Bless her. Some people are so self absorbed and others aren't. As bubbalewy said you always have us as, we all understand what you are going through.
bubbalewy sorry the ole hag bag got you but, its nice to know that the CBFM really does work isn't it. Hope all goes well with your scan and blood tests. Keep us posted.

Well, my CBFM has done the trick on my 2nd cycle of using it. I got my BFP this morning!!! My CB digi says Pregnant 1-2! I am going to go to my Dr's this afternoon as, i need them to arrange an early scan for me. I will keep popping in here to check up on you all.

Shmoo Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you!
Let us know how it goes this afternoon. Did you have any symtoms? Or do anything differently this month?
Wow!! It's good to know the CBFM does work.

hi
iam getting really fed up,iam on cd 20 and still no highs and i have started spotting to day thats happing now between cycles
iam trying for no2 and i think i may as well give up.ARRRRRRRRRR just feel so frustrated
i dont think iam ov i cant wait to go back to the doctors in dec to see what is wrong with this stupid body of mine.there is baby's getting born all round me and would love to just have one more i know i must sound greedy as i know the pain of not having one cause it took 4 years and 4 mc to have my son but i realllllly want another baby.
iam so sorry for my rambling i just feel i need to shout and let off some steam sorry again

Gina ? I hope you?re feeling better today. Are you still on ?lows?? I know what you mean about babies been born all around, two of my closest friend have just given birth. It all seems so unfair but I truly believe that our turn will come. I guess that why we just keep going and put our selves through it all. Your Doc?s appointment will be a positive step and getting extra help spurs you on. Have you had OV Meds before? Or any tests?
Always know you can vent on here whenever you like. It really does help to let of steam and we all need to do it sometime?

Shmoo - How did it go at the Doc's?

hi vikks iam soooooooo happy today i got a high,i wasn't going to test the day as i was bleeding then i thought just do it and wayhay i have a high iam on cd21
i have had bloods done in between cycle's and that came back low progestrone,yesterday i was really thinking i had pcos as i have all the symtoms and now i dont know maybe iam ov bleeding as this has happend about 4-5 times now
fingers crossed i get an even higer one cause there must be somthing happing to get a high
anywayz how are u doing?
xx

That's great news! You'd better get down to it!
My progesterone was really low too as I wasn't OV that's why I'm on the Meds. They seem to be working but still BFN. I tested again today. I'm 11DPO so it's a little early but my temp has fallen and I'm starting to feel like AF is on the way. I guess another month of injections is coming up! Great!!

Hi girls, sorry for my lack of posting, hope you are all well?

First things first, Schmoo Yey!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Very excited for you, hurrah, hurrah. About time we got another BFP.

Vikks Everything crossed for you and your fat follicles chick!

AF got me again on CD26, had another day of spotting two days before that so don't know WTF is going on with my cycles at the moment. Had my first session of reflexology last night, it was super nice and relaxing even if nothing comes of it. She did mention though that my kidneys were showing signs of being tender as I was flinching when she passed over the relevant part of my foot. Apparently this means I'm either frustrated / angry / bitter about something. I bloody wonder what!!! Hopefully if I keep the sessions up it will sort me out. We shall see, I am remaining optimistic

Hello to everyone else (barrenbrook waves )

Congratulations Schmoo - great news!

Sorry for those with AF's arriving.

I'm on 3rd cycle of CBFM (but had a year without!) and am confused to see on CD 10 a high, different to last two months. Problem is husband abroad with work until Sun pm, so looks like this cycle totally wasted.

shmoo75 clever you whoop whoop!!!! so pleased for you honey.. cheered me up reading that ..
kez i had a peak cd9 last cycle !
vikks Whats happening hun? are you gonna test again?
barrenbrook ive got that spotting thing going on too, bloody starts me thinking implantation! never use to get it like this
gina hi, i had my friend tell me about her scan and she could see the babies arms legs moving at 10 wks 4 days, happy for her but i lost 1 mine at 11 wks 5 days so makes me think why mine didnt stick .. arggghhh .
Oh well keep shagging i suppose lol

BFN

hi bubbalewy
i know what you mean i had 4 mc before i had my son.my sister had a baby in sep a friend had hers last week but i iam hoping with cbfm that i will have some luck this is only my first cycle trying the cbfm

vikks i dont know what bfm means iam still learning all the little word
but iam sorry

Hiya all. Schmoo - great news for you hen!

I've been sort of lurking on and off but haven't had a moment to post.

Vikks, so sorry for the BFN after all you've gone through, but looking at your posts, aren't you on 12DPO...? Isn't it better to wait for 14DPO to be totally totally sure? I haven't said so yet, but as very glad to see you get 'fat follicles' when things were gloomier earlier.

When I had my miscarriage this year, my doc very gently said 'at least you know you can get pregnant' - I've clung to that. I hope that it doesn't seem callous to say it, but I hope the sting of the BFN is slightly eased by knowledge that your follicles responded, and they will again.

As for me, I'm in the two week wait. Lots of pregnant friends around which I find a real strain. I haven't told anyone we're trying because I find it easier to pretend DH and I not interested in having babies than I do dealing with detailed questions and sympathy while they are preggers..... oh well...

Will try catch up properly on the weekend.

vikks its still early days a bfp may still be lurking.. fingers x hun xxxx
gina bfn means -big fat no- negative pregnancy test.

vikks sorry it was a bfn hun. I know how that feels. How you doing today hun?

Thanks for your congrats girls.Nothing would please me more than to see you all with bfp's too. Sorry I haven't been back since my news but, been soooooooooo tired this is the 1st day I have gotten up early enough to do more than just get ready for work and run out the door! Went to the Dr's and I am getting an early scan appointment will arrive in the post next week at some point and I would imagine the scan date will be for the week after. Hubby said yesterday he is dreading the scan as, the last time we had one it confirmed my womb was empty He also advised he isn't excitied yet and, Itold him I knew what he meant as, we have been here twice before and then our world fell apart. I'm sure once we see the heartbeat we will start to get excitied and be more hopeful that this one is here to stay.

thanks bubbalewy,i got another high today iam on cd23 does this mean iam in with a chance of a peak? i have the doc's today i want to get checked for pcos

Right, I?ve finished wallowing in my own self pity! Onwards and upwards! The witch got me today so who knows it could be a Christmas miracle this time for me! DH has pulled me out of my lull; he took me out for a lovely meal yesterday and a drink. Yes, my 2WW booze free has ended and I?m gonna enjoy myself at a few parties I?ve got coming up.
I?m gonna ring the clinic tomorrow so I reckon I?ll be injecting Wednesday or Thursday this week. Let hope for some more big fat follicles!!

Shmoo - Good luck with the scan, I hope that little heart beat is nice and strong so you can finally get excited like you deserve!

Gina - Any ?peaks? yet? How did it go at the Doc?s?

Monkeybumsmum - Are you back in the land of the living after the op? Back at work? Have you had your follow up yet?

Bubbalewy, Barrenbrook, Keziahhopes, Cyncan & Kairo - Hellooooo to you all!

It?s nearly new thread time???..what a lot of posts. Hope the new one's lucky. x

Ah Vikks As you say, onwards and upwards though, and you make sure you go out and have a fab time - you deserve it! Maybe your follicles will react better second time around?

Who's going to start the new thread? I hope the new one brings us all our longed for BFP's... Wouldn't that be just wonderful

Sorry for absence, but I've been recovering (as Vikks said) after having my laparoscopy. Couldn't believe it but they rang on the Thursday night to ask if I could go in on the Friday DH didn't wanted to rush it but I jumped at the chance to evade a possible 6 month wait, and so have been feeling rather sore since. Am having stitches out tomorrow, and then have follow up appt on 9 Dec.
Am on 4th high day today, and we have managed a rather gentle bd Not sure if it'll be any use this soon after op, but we shall see.

Shmoo I so hope it's third time lucky for you. It's difficult to imagine a different outcome to the ones gone before, but it can, and hopefully will, happen for you. My dh is the same - says he's just not getting excited about a possible bfp as there's no point We would have to get past twelve weeks for us to believe there might be a pinprick of hope...

Running out of time as dh back and need to cook supper, but will try to come back on again soon. Love to you all, good luck to those on 2ww, and happy poas to the rest of us!

hi vikks no peaks that's me bk down to low today so no luck this month,the doc took some blood and said that i will get results in a week so i have to call bk on friday and depending on what they say i may need to go for a scan to see whats going on
xx

9DPO ... and not feeling optimistic but wishing I could test already and get it over and done with and move on. aaaaaaaaaaarghhhhh!

Ladies, I took the liberty of starting a new thread, hope no-one minds

See you there x
