OH has said if we get a peak, he'll run around the house shouting 'EGG!!! EGG!!' Which cracks me up. Not sure it's great for creating a saucy atmosp though!! Haha!

My OH likes talking about 'eggs' too:o

Oh, everybody has CBFM, I feel left out, I want one too...

I haven't got one...yet!

It's hard enough for me to remember to take my folic acid everyday but remembering to use a cbfm too might be a step too far. Goodness knows how I would cope if I ever had a baby!

Congrats Lizzie and welcome newbies old and young!

I'm glad I have so many new CBFM buddies. As long as you are testing as requested it will follow your cycle from the first month. It does need a few months to get to know you, but that's more about your cycle length. If you have longer cycles you will get through 20 sticks a month at first until it recognises that you don't need to be testing so early.

GTS - hope this isn't too nosey a question, but do you BD on all your high days as well as your peak ones?:think:

ie should we try and BD every other 'high' day and then on any 'peak' ones we get? Dont think I could face days upon days of BD'ing if the thing shows as high for ages.

Any tips?

Think it depends if you want a boy or a girl, or just a baby!

The book says bd on high and peak but we dtd every other night and then on the second peak day. I would have liked to bd on first peak but poor DH was poorly so no strength what so ever. Only managed on the second peak day cos i did the work lol :rotfl: sorry if that was tmi

I'm a little confused in all honesty because most people say to bd every other. DH read a leaflet that said every 2 or 3 days otherwise the quality of swimmers is lower if everyday :mad: aarrgghh who decided to make ttc so bleeding difficult :mad:

In future im making sure its everyother on high and every peak (just have to make sure we are both fighting fit but with busy lives its easier said than done!)

Welcome Lucy. TTC is one hell of a rollercoaster i've been here 11 mnths now

So can I just tell this fancy machine that I have 27 day cycles or will it be stubborn and make me POAS until it works it out itself :cool:

Thanks GTS...ok so we'll maybe try every other day on 'high' and then any 'peak' days..although according to the instructions you dont always get 'peak' days on your first cycle at using it.

Sammy you have to do what the machine says in relation to POAS..that's where it gets pricey as you go through a lot of test sticks.

The first month of using it, it apparently gets used to you and your cycle, so the 2nd month of using it may be more accurate, but I've also read a lot of success stories on the net, where women have got lucky in the first month. :T
