    Well, I was going to ask to be put down for testing on the 6th but i'll take one for the team and go on the 5th if you like :D (generous to a fault me!)

    Really not sure when AF is due - not still not recording data of any kind, peeing on any sticks or checking for sticky stuff (baby dust OR CM lol)

    I'll be CD26 by then (usually 26/27 days) so it's near as dammit!

    SK x

    Woohoo! :j I want some good news on my wedding day... othert than the fact i will be getting married :o

    What!? There's someone there using my avatar and my username?:eek::D
    There was Evansangel there too, with a cute photo of baby Lily:p

    I'm not defecting, it's just that there's lots of members from US there, so I have company while you lot sleep;)

    :eek: Maybe its my doppleganger! :rotfl:
    I found my doppleganger on askamum when i was 18, except she had brown eyes and i have blue eyes. Scary stuff :o
    FYI I am SmileyShazza on BnB.

    I like being able to write my ttc journal on there :)

    Sorry to hear that AF got you QQ :(

    I did start a ttc journal, but i forgot about it lol.

    Sorry AF arrived QQ, but at least you get to play with your CBFM now!

    Im currently watching about 10 on ebay... :o
    I want a cool ttc toy to play with :p

    Did an OPK today, still faint lines. Im sure i read that if you take something it can bring on AF quicker???

    Also, what is that slot at the top? It looks like it'll take credit card:rotfl:

    :rotfl: It really does! I don't know what it's for either, we need someone from CB on here to answer our questions.

    I am a bit confused tonight because I am on day 10 of a regular 24 day cycle and there appears to be no LH going on. In Feb and April (the only times I OPK'd) it was here by now.

    My natural cycle was always 30/31 days until I came off the pill for the second time when it became for 24 for some reason. I asked the GP who said that was no issue but he asked if they were regular as then I was ovulating. Please don't let me have returned to the 30/31 days! _pale_ I get 3 extra chances per year on 24 days!!!

    I'm sure it will be here tomorrow. It WILL be here tomorrow.

    It's not here! I guess I am no longer testing on the 9th of June then... how bizarre. I double-checked with my last Clear Blue stick and that agreed with my cheapie sticks (negative).

    On the plus side, it does reduce the chance of two babies sharing a birthday.

    QQ what did you mean about a longer luteal phase being good. Does it mean that the egg hangs around for longer?

    The luteal phase is pretty much consistent and is 'normally' around 14 days...hence the '2 week wait'. There's some information here: http://www.myshortlutealphase.com/

    Remember OPKs are not that reliable. Do you temp as well? If so have you seen the thermal shift?

    ooh ooh, I've won a CBFM...:j:j:j

    I'm now part of the CBFM gang (well I will be when it arrives)
    £55 inc p+p with 8 sticks, I don't think that was too bad.

    How many sticks do I need for one cycle? Do I need to get more?

    I can't wait now, that with temping.......I building some PMA. ...xx

    I'm soooooo tempted to buy some Conceive Plus, but I'm scared it will freak DH out. Sorry for the tmi, but does it make you really moist down there. DH doesn't like it to be too wet :o
    I'm going to try cough syrup this cycle:http://www.boots.com/en/Robitussin-Chesty-Cough-Medicine-100-ml_11467/

    You need 10 sticks/cycle. But once you get peak, then it automatically gets another peak the following day, and low the next, so you can skip those 2 (so I hear).

    Good luck ddebski_us & waterbaby:j
    You need decent length of luteal phase to get the baby going I think.
