Charlie this was our third month of using the CBFM.

For the previous two months of using the monitor our bd’ing schedule was a lot more ‘busy’ and we would usually dtd at least every other day, then every day during highs/peaks if we can manage it. This month it was totally different as I didn’t get any highs I just went straight from low to peak and on the first peak day OH was away so we didn’t get to bd as much at all – hence why I am totally surprised!

This was our schedule this month:

CD1 – 11 Low BD on CD7 & CD10
CD12 – Peak OH away so no bd
CD13 – Peak – BD evening
CD14 – High
CD15 onwards low

The last time I got my bfp it was exactly the same we hadn’t bd’d much at all during that month.

Thanks for the info. That's really useful to note. Just goes to show that it just takes one good swimmer

Just given DH his first "wellman conception" vitamin, he wasn't too impressed, said no vitamin should be black and coffin-shaped!!!

Can't test on Sat as have no tests left...

GFH - my OH takes those vitamins and he says they look and taste like animal poo - not sure how he knows that though!!

Doglover - I have a working cocker spaniel puppy, he is 5 months old now and we are off to puppy training classes tonight which he loves as he gets to play with loads of puppies!

Amara

My period has started. Hmm.. A new month, new hope.

Hi Ladies and Gent

Wahey :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Congrats Shazza what fab news :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Wishing you a very healthy and happy pg

And your BD schedule gives me a lot of hope. So I'm trying to think lots of positive vibes. My CBFM jumped straight from low to peak too and because of the hot hot hot weekend we had, only managed to get 2 BDs in. One the night before my first peak and one on the second peak. So def less BD that the previous month. Plus, its my third cycle of using it so can I be a complete copy cat of you please

Actually, before I came on here I was looking at the ICs that came with my CBFM sticks. Im on CD23, AF due on Tues (5 days away). I have got 5 ICs so I'm tempted to poas tonight. But I have no desire for wee wees yet

EA - Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you too hon.

Amara - Sorry the witch got you. (((hugs))) honey

Primmer - Hope puppy behaves tonight. Does he poo right in the middle of training like mine used to do

GFH - Congrats on getting DH to take vits :T

Whowantstoberich - Sorry, I haven't said hello. Hello!! Welcome to the thread and fingers crossed you've got a strong and healthy bean in mummy's tummy

Feisty - Keep going with the BD'ing. You can't stop now lol

Doglover - naughty, naughty for not using your OPKS. Trust me, you'll soon be addicted to POAS'ing like the rest of us :rotfl:

Charlie and Ducky - Welcome to the thread. TTC is def a real rollercoaster - but we'll all get there one day x

Sorry, can only read the last page. Hope everyone is well. Here's hoping for a bumper crop of BFPS in July - must be the weather

Hugs and sticky stuff to all xxx

Hiya. I'm posting under a username as I don't want some people knowing that i'm actively TTC'ing until the time is right for any announcements.

I've been lurking for quite a while and hoped i'd be able to join in.

Basically we've just decided to TTC a few months ago. I'd come off the injection and we decided we'd see how nature was going to take it's course rather than get technical about it all. At least to start off with anyhow. I figured i'd just keep an eye on dates and try to figure out my body clock which appears to be ticking every single day.

I have 2 children already from previous relationships and my OH has one from a previous relationship too. We'd like one together and that will be the last as it sometimes feels like we're running the house of the Waltons!

Anyhow... i've been continuing on a 27/28 day cycle for a few months then all of a sudden this month (AF was due 14th) and i've started today. Not heavy and i'll obviously watch the flow but it's thrown me all out of sync. Now Fertility friend reckons my fertility times are 11th - 14th. But if this AF then I could still be on AF when this says i'm fertile. How is that even possible??? Now apparently i'm due to ovulate on the day I was originally expecting AF. I'm totally confused. No stress, just happily bumbling along and now i'm just worried that something could be wrong. Can anyone help? Also - i've had no symptoms at all to give me an expectation that AF is due. Normally I get the whole shebang. This time? Nothing. De nada. Not even an opportunity at snapping at the hubby and having to apologise for the gazillionth time!

Can anyone help please???

Hi Charlie,

If you've only had the one month of an unusually short cycle then I wouldn't worry about it. We all get random cycles every now and then. Sorry, I don't do Fertility Friend so can't help you there - but it seems odd that they're saying you're going to OV on CD8 - that does seem a bit short - but not impossible. Hopefully someone with better FF knowledge can offer some words of wisdom.

(((hugs))) - welcome to the wonderful world of TTC!!

Thank you. It's very weird for me to figure out all these dates. I'd get a CBFM if the hubby wasn't so against it. How frustrating is this lol?! And i've only just started!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

However, never had so much BD action and i'm planning to milk it for as long as I can!
