Hugs Angel and Code

Still trying to get into the habit of peeing on sticks for my CBFM, forgot this morning until after I'd gone and had to squeeze more out! :rotfl: Don't know why it starts asking for sticks from CD6 though, seems more like an excuse to sell more sticks than *actual* scientific reasons!

This is such a boring period, waiting for OV, especially for me as it takes a fair while. Hope it's my last wait for OV for a long time! PMA!

So - I think I read somewhere that if you have the CBFM and have an irregular cycle especially more than 40 days it will basically cost you a fortune lol Which is why its probably asking so early because its expecting ovulation around day 14 so for the build up to that and its supposed to check for the hormones quite far in advance.

Plus Im sure QQ said that once you get a high, it will ask you for more sticks still - but dont feed it as you know its a high so no need - just money grabbing.

However I think I also read its supposed to like read your cycles and get used to you personally, so Im not sure if on the first cycle perhaps you should feed it when it wants?

Im sure someone else will know for sure. I dont actually have one just read so much on here with people posting about them

Morning TCD.

I agree with Claire. The white dots indicate that your temps are probably less accurate (usually sleep deprivation or an irregular sleeping pattern or illness). According to the 'textbooks' LP temps should rise and peak halfway through your LP and then start coming down but I don't know anyone that this usually happens for. My temps peak in different places of my LP every month, sometimes 4dpo and sometimes 10dpo.

Me too. Normally my temp will keep getting high for a few days after the initial leap, but its not really consistant as to when it happens.

Plus I once had a massive peak at about 10dpo and thought I might be pregnant and I wasnt. And sometimes my temp doesnt drop until Cd 1-3 and sometmes it drops before AF.

I have no idea what actually happened when I was pregnant as I was on holiday so wasnt taking my temp after about 3dpo.

I also wouldnt read too much into temperatures. Because if you look mine up online as I seem to have low temps compared to some people, I found all this scary stuff about how I was maybe too cold - and the progesterone thing - well clearly that wasnt true as I stayed pregnant for 12 weeks! So stay away from google!!

It's once you get a Peak that you needn't bother feeding it anymore, Claire/Birdie, cos it goes into a set pattern of 2 Peaks, High, Lows. It always asks for sticks in 10 stock batches btw.

I think my estrogen has been too high this cycle for the CBFM to recognise my peak...I'm sure my cervix is on it's way back down again :cool: Think I'm going to tentatively call this 1/2dpo :cool:

I like how it says about not being able to mix batches of sticks as the sensitivity may vary i.e. don't save sticks after you've reached a peak and use them along with a new box on the next cycle! Pretty sure that's a money-grabbing trick! I hope that once it gets to know me it'll ask me to start testing later on in my cycle, I'll do what it asks me to this time and accept it'll cost a lot then be more MSE in future. Well, I *really* hope I'll get PG this cycle and I won't have to think about it any more!

I have heard that it is a money grabbing trip birdie - I'm sure all the sticks are similar so no point buying more.
How is everyone today?
Well I got a smiley on the OPK although no EWCM yet.
So do I put myself as 1dpo yet or not?
Needless to say we'll be bonking for britain the next couple of days!

Correction I do have EWCM after all!

Not sure if I am 1dop on the day I get the smiley or the day after, can anyone advise?

Thanks

Ohhh, becca, please could I be updated to 1DPO when you're updating the lists? I'm excited to finally be able to tell!

Started temping this morning finally, so see how it goes. Although my AF came early it's a lot lighter then usual on day two but then nothing is usual atm till my hormones settle I guess. At least I can finally wear tampons again (sorry if TMI) but after the birth and for the last 1.5 years they just didn't fit, but now do again, woohoo. Little weird things that make a woman happy, eh.

Bigs hugs to everyone who needs them!!!

This thread doesn't half move fast!!! I was away last week with no internet access and have been ill this week with headache, sinuses, nausea and temp, so finally back to work today after 2 and half weeks off!!!

I am still catching up someone metioned having an implant out a few pages back. Had mine out at the end of sep, 23 day and 31 day cycles so far. I think I was pretty regular before, but that was 20 yrs ago!!!! How old am I!!!

Well I was referred to the local leisure centre by my phsio, so I could start doing some exercise!!! So have had a letter off them, so need to make a phone call, exercise will start soon!!!

I am currently CD32.... I am feeling really nauseous (probably due to being ill the last few days), I am trying not to SS... but have had some creamy CM for the last few days, so googled it yesterday.... it could be a sign!!! But that has far as going with the SS.... I am a patient person!!!! So for the first time I am going to set a testing date Sunday 13th!!!

Right back to read the rest of the thread!!!!

another gym session done. Would be feeling good but stood on the scales in the gym and it's bad. Really really bad. I'm 2 stone over the weight that puts me in the healthy BMI range. Sob. The good news is that because I'm tall, I'm still in the overweight range (just).

angeltreats

Oh Code I know exactly how you feel... I'm also in the overweight range but by almost exactly the same amount as you. I have just taken over a workmate's remaining gym membership for the year as she's moving away, so now I will have two gym memberships, one beside work and one close to home (but I pay almost nothing for the one close to home as it's part of a friend's corporate membership, before anything thinks I've gone mad). I intend to start running at the one beside work a few mornings a week, and keep playing squash and doing spin classes at the one close to home.
