Just popping in to say congrats to toothfairy and fluffy sox wishing you both happy and healthy pregnancies x

Thanks for the clearblue link I signed up so we shall see if I get a trial.

My body is confusing me at the moment as I have had some slippery and ewcm so hoping to ov a bit sooner this month it's so hard to gauge when it's been anywhere from cd18 to cd29 before come on ac do your job!

Hugs to all x

Congrats toothfairy and fluffy sox - love seeing we already have a few BFPs this month.

Thanks for the link to clearblue - hope they keep the trial for a while, when it came to putting in my info realised I couldnt as didnt know what my cycle length is yet.

Hope everyone else is doing ok and keeping up the PMA

I just put in an estimate, I dont have regular cycles anyway! so just put a sort of average.

Morning all. When the clear blue link first got posted I went to it on my tablet.. Couldn't see anything about trials so I read about products and ended up ordering a fertility monitor off eBay lols , still I got it cheaper than the rep and looks like they sell well when u have finished .. So I'm happy with that.

On af now, have to wait a month from last malaria tablet.. Can't decide whether to take a new packet next week or just use condoms as the monitor thingy says best to wait for 2 cycles off contraception...

I am thinking just use condoms for the 3 weeks from Monday?

Just can't wait to be "trying"

Have a good day all x

I'd just stay off the pill and use condoms Yargo. Better to get that crap out of your system sooner rather than later!

Becca that's a very good theory about the PCOS/Pill... scary though!

Lara, I think everyone agrees that it gets boring after 3 months! I'm kind of dreading having to BD *again* today and I've not got a peak on my CBFM yet so will have to BD tomorrow or Saturday (I'm guessing, maybe both?! :eek:) and I really CBA! I don't think you should have a break though as if you do end up having to go to the doctors some time down the line (obviously I really hope this isn't the case) they'll be quite unsympathetic if you've been trying on and off- the first thing my doc asked me was if OH was around all the time (i.e. not away for months on end) and we were *actually trying* every single month.

Tia, I agree with Claire, just stick an estimate in (my guess is to go for an 'odd' number like low 20s or mid-30s as they may want to test it on people without a perfect cycle ) and hope for the best. I was contacted for the CBFM trial last year but got freaked out at having to store pots of wee to send off to them so wimped out!

As for the waxing... firstly OW! I've had a couple of brazilians in my time but OH MY GOD THE PAIN! :eek: Last time I was tempted to run out half done! :rotfl: Secondly, I've always been told that exfoliating is good for preventing ingrown hairs, maybe just use a flannel and give it a bit of a good rub in the shower for the first few days? That sounds dirtier than it is!

Lol Birdie! That did sound naughty, hehe.

I think you're right. Our GP practice is so busy - they just want you out the door. Once my HB had 2 things wrong with him and the GP told him he had to go and make a separate appointment for the other complaint :rotfl: I can see their eyes glazing over if I try to explain the complicated timings of BD around the PhD!!!

We are having a CBA month on the BD front as well after our diligent efforts last month. HB has got arthritis pain which makes me feel bad about trying to seduce him

I agree, Id come off the pill and use condoms, or just dont bd for a couple of weeks - youll be sick of bding in time to come :rotfl:God how awful does that sound!

Store pots of wee :eek: What! It never mentioned that on the front page :rotfl: They should have a big red warning sign. I put in 35 days so hope that works for me then, but I will see what they say about the pots first!

I agree about the break thing too you are more likely to regret it than wish you hadnt I reckon.

Birdie85

I don't know if they'd want pots of wee for this trial, don't worry too much!

becca0417

I have to store my wee lol

Eta: for the trial obviously!!
