Trying for a Baby Part 9

TeamLowe

Please can i be changed to CD1 when you next do the lists. thank you very much

i am very happy that it's CD1, i got pregnant on a 35 day cycle so hopefully that's the fertile cycle length for me
going to order more Inositol and take 500mg 2x a day as i took twice a day a couple of times so helpfully i don't know if the larger dose is what made the difference.

Course, the only beggar is that i should now get af next when i'm in NYC. oh well, american sanitary towels will be a novelty at least lol

My cbfm stopped asking for sticks Claire. Yesterday was the first time in 3 cycles I got a peak.
Can someone look at my chart? Don't think I ovulated??

Hi all
Can I be updated to cd22 & dpo4
Not sure when AF is due, as my cycles have ranged from 25 to 32 days over the last 6 or 7 months

Becca - Time will tell with yr chart. You should see 3 consecutive rises to confirm ov. Even tho you have had a dip, it might still rise loads tomorrow confirming ov. Keep BDing just in cases. I think OPKs and CBFM are not as reliable when you are taking clomid tho FF will put cross hairs on your chart 3 days after ov once they have confirmed it - by which point it is too late to BD, so its best to try n stick to every 2-3 days if you can Hope you catch the eggy xxx

American tampax are slightly different :rotfl:No idea why they make them slightly different for different countries. The worst place was when we were travelling in asia it was a nightmare to find tampons and we left asia and got to fiji and it was the same deal, but after searching (probably looking like some kind of shoplifter as I was hanging about searching the shelves for so long in various places) finally found some but they were non-applicator which I dont get on with so they went in the bin. And sanitary towels which are the devil to me. But we were away for 8 months and there were only so many tampons I could fit in a backpack lol! Luckily the next stop was the US so I could refill :T

You need to wait for 3 days like Abi says. Plus if you got the opk yesterday youre probably ovulating today. So your temp wont go up til tomorrow.

Credit crunch - if you know for sure youre 4dpo, then AF is most likely due in around 10 days.

Oh God I don't think I'd be happy being away from home and not using anything other than Tampax Pearl! I'm a tampon snob!

Hugs and a high-five for CD1 TL! Excellent cycle!

This is where the mooncup comes into its own!

Aww DH just came home from work at lunch to bring me cranberry juice and those horrible cystitis sachets.

I keep meaning to try it. Although what do you do if you have to change it in a public toilet? In terms of washing it?

You can either take a bottle of water in with you and wash it or you can just give it a wipe over with loo roll and reinsert it. Tbh the outside doesn't get blood on it and it's made of silicon so the blood doesn't really stick. It's not as icky as you'd think.

I tend to use the disabled loo at work if it's free as there's a sink in there and I can give it a wash. Honestly, give it a go. I'm so glad I bought one now.

Just had another email from Clearblue saying that there has been a delay to the trial start date, and I will be contacted shortly for a second telephone interview about my medical history.

Anyone else had the same? I didn't realise there was another interview (although it's not a problem), but it does seem slightly weird given that the object of the trial is to find out how easy it is to follow the instructions, not how well the thing actually works.

Same here

If you'll be using towels, and if you can find them, I cannot recommend Always Infinity enough! I even brought all that I could shove around things in my suitcase when I moved here. They are extremely thin, can hold tons (even with my horrid super heavy AF's), and are nice and flexible.
