    Massive hugs twigglet, hope you're feeling better soon. I've had the same really short cycles recently with alternating red/almost black blood but the doctor said it was fine and not to worry and that you CAN still get pregnant with a really short cycle. I found that really reassuring to know.
  • Rebekah, you're back! How was your hollibob? Fingers crossed this month is your lucky one, sounds promising anyway :)

    It was gorgeous. Between 23-32c every day! On the 23 days it was cloudy but didnt feel bad as there is like nooooooooo wind in Tenerife! Which is the place for me as im petite and tiny so any puff will have me reaching for my cardigan lol. We only went out twice once to go down the the beach. Hotel was on top of a cliff and a good 15 mins walk down. Had to dip our toes :D and do a bit of shopping. And the 2nd day to visit the zoo. The rest of the time we just spent around one of the 3 pools-in the jacuzz-sauna-in the gardens-balcony-anywhere! Here is the hotel for anyone that missed it: https://www.hotelbotanico.com
    Was about £600 each last minute with thomsons on b&b.

    My period is sometimes like yours. It takes ages to get going but is thick dark browney colour with some red in it. By the 2nd day its in full flow. Lots of hugs enjoy your hot water bottle sofa and trash tv! :rotfl:Do you have any other period party planned?

    Yes. But AF needs to be full flow red to be classed as CD1.

    Still no sign of either a high or a peak on the CBFM, so really think its missed it this time - because I had some early CM (can't remember which day) - wish Id been using IC OPKs as well *sigh*
    Did the pee end line ever go darker?
    I'm going to reset the CBFM, does anybody know how to do this - other than the way I want to do it (throw it out of the window!)
    I hope you have a spare stick (used one would be fine).

    To reset it (copied from somewhere):

    1. Ensure monitor is switched off.
    2. Insert test stick into test stick slot, checking position carefully, as there will be no symbol to tell you that test stick is correctly inserted.
    3. Press and hold 'm' button while you complete steps 4, 5 & 6 below.
    4. Press the on/off button to turn monitor on.
    5. you will see ( ! test stick sign and arrow pointing right) - if not then stick is not correctly inserted. Continue to hold the 'm' button and leave the test stick in position.
    6. After approx 15 secs, all symbols on the display screen will be shown. ! test stick sign and arrow pointing right will be shown again. The 'm' button can then be released and the test stick removed.
    7. You should see the following symbols on your display screen '--m'. Your monitor is now reprogrammed and ready for use!

    Then as usual on 1st day of new cycle turn monitor on and press and hold 'm' button til number 1 shows.

    I have to ask what you use them for as my dirty mind is congering up all sorts of thoughts!!:eek:
    :naughty: I just use them like normal veggies, not cakes;)
    Yes I grow corgettes, brussels, sweetcorn, tomatoes, lettace, cabbage, brocalli, parsnips, carrots and spinage.
    Wow! I'd love to do that:happyhear

    If you haven't done already get a hot water bottle and put it on your tummy. This will help reduce the cramping a bit. It's just struggling to get going. The cramping coud be holding it in too. Once the muscles calm a bit then it should be able to flow a little more easily. I've done enough going on the past few days now its your turn ;-)
