    Im currently watching two CBFMs on ebay, i know what will happen. I have convinced myself that i need one, and i'll get to the end of the auction and bid, then think i dont need it and hope i get outbid.
    Then the next month it all starts again lol.

    Lol, I keep thinking that I should pay more than I want to as I can resell it in time, but it baffles me why people pay up to £70/80 for a used one on ebay when you can get a new one for £62 online!

    I know! I once watched one on ebay, it was £200 worth of brand new stuff as she bought it and got pregnant before she had a chance to use it.
    It stayed at £12 until the last day then jumped right up :(

    I keep looking on my local netmums and freeads aswell :p

    I may hold off until I see if AF arrives when FF says she's due - if she does then I know my temp should be correct enough on it's own. It's planning my next fertile period nicely for the long bank holiday that OH and I have got together for 4 days ;);) Just have to convince him to BD more than once a week......

    Well my OH is snoring away on sofa so no BD tonight. But had a just for fun quickie earlier as he had got himself excited earlier thinking bout me while i'd nipped out! Re CBFM I paid £45 or around that on ebay with 8 sticks with it, if that gives you some guide to price. Night all, see you tomorrow xx

    Then I reread it and its for the sticks only - DOH! Can you use them on their own or is there no point? :(
    You can use them on their own:)
    It's just a glorified opk. 2 lines, one is estrogen, other is LH.
    When estrogen is high, the line is light = High
    When LH is high, the line is dark = Peak

    Good idea to label the sticks an keep them in a ziplock so you can compare:)

    Perhaps we need a plan where we convince OH's that TTC is all their idea and we are the ones doing them a favour??!!
    Good idea! Any ideas?:o

    Morning ladies

    Still feeling ick - sore throat, mild cramps, bloating and windiness - nice :) and to make it even better, am in work today :( Does anyone know if it's safe to take Lemsips and Strepsils when TTC? I know when pg you need to discuss with chemist, but having OV'd and there being a chance I'm pg, I don't know if I fall into that category?

    CD22, 7DPO. Temp has been the same for 3 days - am hoping for a "dip" but my sore throat and sniffles may be keeping it high?

    Madbird - well done on the quick DTD!! :p

    QQ - thanks for the huge hug - much appreciated!!:T

    In other news, DH mentioned maybe getting a dog last night....... very excited!! :D

    xDx
    Fear is temporary, regret is forever.....
