GFH - The 2 lines are like what you get on a OPK stick. Its just CBFM reads it for you. When you get your peak you'll see that the lines practically match.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, sammy. Have you read what Professor Richard Dawkins thinks of reflexology??!!

Have you identified CD1 correctly I wonder? Otherwise no bright ideas, maybe reflexology has reset your cycle?:rotfl:

Ok, I am a little concerned. As far as I'm concerned I always ov on CD13. On my first month of CBFM I had 3 highs on CDs 10, 11, 12 and then 2 peaks followed by one high. I am currently on CD11 and still on low. And not even a whiff of EWCM. Any thoughts pls??

I don't know about the CBFM side, but I didn't have EWCM this last cycle (altho i put it in FF anyway to trick it into creating the solid ov lines) and still ov'd.

Maybe you're going to ov late? Was there any stress this month? I ov'd a week late once. Either way I'd DTD anyway just to be safe so you don't miss it.

@primmer - sorry about AF arriving ((hugs))

Fanta - I'm here too The most depressing thing is, I think only SK was here before me - which makes me the 2nd longest person on this thread. Trust me, it doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere anytime soon

But you've only been ttc since October. Others have been doing it for longer and/or older;)

Here I say I've been ttc since Dec, which is true, but when I go to my fertility specialist next month, I've been ttc since June 09:p

I conceived in June 09 (unplanned), but lost it in Aug, started ttc in Dec. But you can see my reasoning behind June though? It's not like I'm lying:cool:
Better have 12 month+ ttc under my belt to get any help;)

AF started full flow of an evening, so I counted the next day at CD1. Even then, I should have a high by now!!

I have no idea what the prof thinks of reflexology. I'm guessing it's not positive!! I do like my lady though, and it is nice and relaxing. Some ailments she has picked up on. Although she keeps going on about how I must have had whiplash or something at some point as I have a very clicky big toe I haven't had any of the sort lol.

You sound like my reflexologist - she thinks I'm stressed! I have no idea what's going on! BD last night and will do it tomorrow as well and then prob Monday and then I'll have to see what DH thinks! Do you think it might be beneficial if I get some Conceive-Plus then - as in recent cycles there hasn't been a lot of EWCM. And I hate grapefruit juice!!

Officially we've been ttc since October (thats when I came on the net and learnt all about ov, EWCM etc), but we've not used protection since our wedding in August. Anyway, it's not a competition - I was just making the point that it feels like I've been here forever!!!


DH said that he's going to take me to watch Sex and the City tonight. Let's hope so. I want to get out soon, so I can take a sneaky peek into Laura Ashley and get me some wallpaper too

Excellent, keep it up

I don't know about conceive plus - was it coincidence that it was the first month I used it? Probably. The only reason I was using it was because of the vagisimus that I have and the lube I used to use isn't sperm friendly. Nothing can be better than the real thing (EWCM), surely? Have you tried the cough medicine idea?

Maybe it was the Conceive Plus that did the magic for you

I'm prob not going to be able to get down to Boots in the next few days, so will leave it to nature this month, and then will get some for next cycle. I'm feeling really disorganised this cycle.

DH has just told me that he's too tired to go to the pictures He said we can go Bank Hol Monday instead. No one tell me what happens in the movie cos I want to see it for myself

Night in with MSE and BGT for me then

Giz - I forgot to ask. With your vagisimus - how does it work with going through labour? Are you automatically booked in for a C-Section or can you do vaginal delivery - but with close care? Sorry to be nosey

Primmer

I love my reflexology appointments, find them very relaxing and they help with my ibs and headaches and if it can help ttc too then all well and good.

I asked the same to my psychotherapist and she absolutely assures me that my body will adjust just the way everyone else does and the baby will fit out the hole, and yes it will hurt, but no different to anyone else Still doesn't make me feel better though! I think I'm more worried about internal examinations than actually giving birth.

Like that women on One Born Every Minute (the one with the diabetes where they mislaid her dinner)...She was like "She put her whole hand up there, the whole hand!" Now that scares me

If you're going to wait till next cycle for the Conceive Plus, why not be MSE and get it from Amazon - £9.99 inc super saver delivery. Its £15 in Boots.

What's BGT?

Ooh - I went looking for a thermometer yesterday in Boots and I could only find kids ones.... Do you have a linky?

I do indeed http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Digital-Thermometer-Fertility-Diary_6344/
I found it in the pregnancy test section rather than where the first aid stuff is (where the kiddies thermometers were). It's a pink box as you can see and inside is like a black wallet with a booklet for the diary and the thermometer. Looks discreet!

Which professional exams you doing? I finished my accountancy exams a number of years ago now but I still remember the stress....!!:(

xDx

Yep - ACCA. I've finished AAT and this is my 3rd exam for ACCA. Only taking one this time though because I got married 3 weeks ago and didn't think I needed all the stress. Now I wish I'd not taken any this session. Weddings take a lot of time!

CD7 so a bit too late now, but have you considered Soy Isoflavones?
It's like the natural alternative to Clomid.

Hmmm I'll have a look for those. Interesting idea. Thanks QQ once again! :T
