CD23 for me. CBFM back to low :0( and temp soared so deffo been and gone and the machine worked. AF is knocking but still not properly on so not going to count it til then. If I don't OV til CD20 and the machine asks to POAS from CD6 then it's a few wasted ones but at least it gives the few days up to CD20 too.
I'm off all week - woo hoo. I'm going in thursday to check some things or may pop in today if passing. Nails booked for fri, night out thursday and lots of rnr planned...still in bed watching corrie

I came back part time after mat-leave for DS, and as we can afford for me to do it, I've no intention of ever being full time again! Though, those that milk the system would tell me to go back full time at least for a short while if I got pregnant again, so that my maternity pay was based on full time salary. But I couldn't bear to have to do 5 days in here for any reason even money!
Don't know the company stance once DS gets to school, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, and hopefully I'll have another little babba by then so I'll still only want part time work. (God willing)

My post-Easter catch-up, hope you all had lovely weekends and congrats to MERFE.
Well no Easter egg for me, CBFM has shown high for 12 days, but no peak, so reckon I'm out of the count for this month. Given how accurate these gadgets are supposed to be I can only conclude that I'm not oving every month - which ain't gonna help much!!!
Agree with Bigbird, when I was buying my CBFM on ebay the ones that people said they bought and got BFP's before they used, or got lucky after one use got higher bids. Guess people are superstitious about these things. Mine was a bargain from someone who was moving on to IVF - does that mean I have an "unlucky" machine???We Made-it-3 on 28/01/11 with birth of our gorgeous DD.0 -
And at the end of the day, it's a machine. They all do the same thing. If someone has medical issues that mean they will struggle to get pregnant, they will have problems whether they use something like a CBFM or not.
Looking at it another way - I don't even know if my CBFM even works since as far as I know, it's never been used!You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change.0 -
Mine had only been used once - anyway they are only claims by ebayers - but it was a pattern I noticed as I watched bids over a week or so before buying.
Bigbird is correct of course it's only a machine and it's down to our bodies to do the oving!!!We Made-it-3 on 28/01/11 with birth of our gorgeous DD.0 -
Hi guys - hope everyone is well today?
Would people mind taking a look at my graphy - I feel it's a bit all over the place but this is only my first "true" cycle after coming off the pill - also I have a habit of forgetting to temp check :rolleyes:
Cycle was 40 days last month, can anyone see anything useful there?0 -
But its nice to know that it (my body) is doing as it should.
See, now I'm tempted to buy one too, at my age, I'm sure I don't ov every month (prob don't ov much at all), and it would be good to know. Save me getting my hopes up month after month. (I'm ever the pessimist, using a machine to tell me when I HAVEN'T ov'd instead of when I have!)
It doesn't hurt to be optimistic....you can always cry later.

Your temp was high right after AF, were you ill? What was your high temp range before AF? Do you get EWCM? You may have ov'd on 21st, but I can't really tell.lilian1977 wrote: »Cycle was 40 days last month, can anyone see anything useful there?0
