    So, posted my sticks photo above.
    As you know, yesterday my machine didnt work in the morning, it was stuck on the day before. This morning was the same, so I bought the machine and the stick to work, in the hope it would tick over to CD 12 and I thought I would try putting the stick in anyway.

    At around 10am it ticked over to CD 12. I have no idea why, but it seems like I have managed to reset the timings. Does anyone know how or why it would do this? I haven't pressed the m button and for the first 5 sticks was testing around 7.30am, but now it won't tick over to the next day until after 10am. Very weird!

    Anyway, got a peak reading which is great, but as we all thought yesterday was a peak..do you think, looking at the sticks, that yesterday was just a high?

    Oh was too tired last night to BD!!! I was gutted. Hope we haven't missed the boat. He's a bit grumpy today so hopefully he will agree to BD'ing tonight!! :)

    i feel sorry for people who get morning sickness, its worse than this and i think this is bad enough! lol. (TMI Alert) CM has been creamy/white if that makes sense. I also think my cycle is up the left which doesnt help, and I cant exactly remember what day af started last month... how dumb am i!!!
    I dread morning sickness, and since the last one ended up in a mc, it wasn't even worth it:mad:

    Has your cm gone egg whitey yet?

    is likely that as the machine knows that it's the last testing day, it's come back with low to finish the cycle.
    I think it may automatically display low on the 20th stick, not sure.
    If the pee end is dark, it's peak.

    Congratulations!:j
    I have a feeling that we're in the 2ww as well, from what I recall, I think AF is due this Saturday/Sunday as well. I won't ask to be added to the testing list this month but maybe next, we'll see what happens at the weekend, if anything! :)
    Good luck! Will you two be testing on Saturday?

    Can you piac for cbfm? Just wondering how I'm going to use FMU with both CMFM & opk's! :eek: :rotfl:
    I think you are not supposed to use FMU for OPKs, but you can PIAC for CBFM, just need to stir it for 10sec (as opposed to 3sec POAS).

    Glad you had Peak, it's a lot darker than yesterdays, so this must have been THE Peak:T
    I don't know how you could reset CBFM mid cycle, did you drop it?:naughty:

    Glad you took it to work though:D Oh the things we do for ttc:rotfl:

    Ah see looking at those sticks above I never had the darker line nearer the handle :( I dont' really want to rely on cbfm for another cycle hence using opk's also.
    So will using an opk at 6pm when I get in from work be ok? And FMU for CBFM?
    Thanks :o

    How did they treat it SusanC?
    When it first got bad I saw an out of hours doctor who gave me an injection and anti-emetic tablets. Over the following week I had two ro three more different anti-emetics but nothing helped for more than a couple of days. It all kept being at its worst out of office hours so OH kept phoning out of hours service and a couple of times he was able to get a new prescription without them having to see me. I lost a stone in less than a week (which was more than 10% of my weight) but even the last time I saw the out of hours doctor he said I didn't need to be admitted to hospital and when OH rang later that night, the person he spoke to said that as his colleague had already said I didn't need to be admitted, I must be fine and to see my GP the next day. OH phoned GP at 8.30 and I had an appointment at nine. She was quite shocked particularly by my weight lose and phoned EPAU asking for me to be assessed. We went straight there and I was admitted at ten. The doctor who admitted me asked why we'd waited so long and he put the drip in himself because he didn't want me to have to wait for a nurse to do it. They gave me anti-emetics in hospital but they wouldn't give me anything when discharged. The midwife did see me more frequently than she would have but to be honest that wasn't really helpful as I was so ill and exhausted that it always made me worse and OH had to take time off work to drive me as the three minutes walk was too much.

    One of my friends was really miffed that I'd managed to be admitted when she wasn't but she then told me that she only took the anti-emetics if she was sick three times in a day because they make you drowsy so you can't drive and she found that an inconvenience. It was an effort not to laugh at her as at that point I thought three times was a good day.

    If it is as bad again I intend to present myself at A&E in the hopes that it is a better route for admission.

    Sorry, that's probably a longer answer than you were expecting. :o

    Thanks Feanor. My solid line is unfortunately on the left.....:(

    A feint line was appearing earlier in the cycle on the right, but it's completely non existent now, and even yesterday when I was at high, there was nothing showing up on the right..... so confused.....

    That should be fine, but LH surge is usually detected earlier than that, around 2-4pm, but in my case, I got the darkest at 23:45:p
