    Did you test today just in case tinks?

    If AF does arrive later today, set your CBFM tomorrow when you wake up. You use FMU and you need to set it at the time you will usually be testing. You can either set it as Day 1 or Day 2 depending on what you think is most appropriate. The instructions say to set it as CD1 but if I got full flow before noon, I'd be inclined to set it as CD2 the next day. You will be asked to POAS for the first time on CD6 this month and then for 10 or 20 days afterwards depending on whether you get a peak in the first 10 days. Don't be tempted to stop testing or reuse sticks after you get a peak as I did, otherwise it will knacker your data for the next month and you won't get a peak next month even if your OPKs turn positive :(

    You are likely to get several highs in the first month before you peak and you won't in fact be fertile for all of them. Maybe BD every other day when high just in case, then every day for the 2 peaks and the following high.

    he is worried about money lately, problem with him is he overspend, i mean if he sells his bikes he can cover all his debts and start clean again, but there you go, men and his big toys. I do only part time, and it is not a problem, we manage fine,i will start the OU in February, and see a fantastic opportunity cos what i want to do it will take me 4 years, so i can study and be at home for baby. Then when she/he is ready for school and can work full time.

    We have talked about me being pregnant for 3 months now, but havent really done anything about it, i thought this month was it.He said he does not want only a child.
    He is still under stress, i think i need to understand that. He is also working a lot with his own business aside his job.

    Thank you so much everyone, it really helps writting it all down. I feel better now.

    Good morning, sunny day:wave:
    Haven't finished reading back but:

    Big hugs Tinkwings & MrsHappy for CD1:(
    smiley_hug.gif
    Let's hope you two can squeeze in a BFP this year:o

    morocha, (((hugs))). It may be a good idea to spend a bit of time with your family once in a while in your country to see things in different light. I suppose you can't spend the Christmas with your folks?
