Lemonmelon, my sister has 21 day cycles, and has conceived 4 times, so it's not necessarily the end of the world

Mrsrobertson – boooo for CD1.
Tinkwings – hugs
MrsBryan – Hope the funeral goes well and I also hope that you enjoy your honeymoon.
Lily – ahhhh to Mr Lily checking out what he can do to improve his swimmers
Flee – snow (eeek)!!!
LittleMiss Giggle – don’t cry. Hang in there and try to be positive
Lemonmelon – sorry you’re feeling so down. Sending you a big hug x
Lily / LittleMissGiggle – I’m now also having the pant stealing thoughts lol

What’s this talk of TTC fit club. I appear to have missed it? Can I join?

What's this CBFM (or whatever the initials are lol) thing I hear some of you guys mention? Is it like a posh OPK stick?

fannyanna, the CBFM is the clearblue fertility monitor. It measures your Lutenizing hormone and your estrogen levels so it gives you a bigger fertile window to DTD.

Just done my Zumba DVD and I'm knackered! My weaknesses are cheese (I'm veggie so eat a lot of this), biscuits, cake and chocolate.

I'm off for a sit-down with neighbours whilst my HM soup is heating, then I'm off to hit the shower.

Do you pee on it like with the OPK's?

Is it expensive?

Little Miss Giggle - I'm giggling at "knicker watch" hehe
Still no AF here, but feeling achey so I think it's only a matter of time.
Would of those you that use the CBFM recommend it? Is the expense worth it do you think? x

It's much easier than using OPKs for me, because it prompts you when you need to test based on the information it has gathered about you from previous cycles. It also gives you highs and then an egg symbol which takes some of the guesswork out of reading OPKs. However, the cost of the monitors and sticks seem to be increasing in price, so economically, it'd probably be cheaper to use OPKs.

I use a Cbfm and find it takes all the guess work away and helps you understand your cycle and your ov dates. For me I just like to know the dates I really should dtd being the high and peak dates. I don't tell oh when I get a peak and we dtd at other times too to try to keep the pressure to perform off him.
