Naomijj - hope it turns out to just be related to the fall/bruising.

I've decided to buy a CBFM and give it a try, as although I have pcos my cycles are still usually between 30 and 34 days (last month did go to 41 days, but that's first time for years its been so long.) I figure it can't hurt to try and they have a decent resale price on ebay if it doesn't work.

For last 2 nights I've had really weird dreams - that a figure is either standing in my bedroom doorway or standing at the side of my bed - its freaking me out now and after I've had the dream, I'm too scared to open my eyes in case its real!

On period related news, I'm due AF on Friday (ish) nothing else to report really as don't know when/if I ovalated this month.

Hey I am in the BD time and using a CBFM. I am on day 15 past my period and still no smiley face. Am I normal I thought you ovulated on day 14 or before if you have a 28 day cycle?!:mad:

I am now scared I am not ovulating......:o

Glad the move went well Becca I've got my fingers crossed for twins/triplets!

Hope that you get a BFN soon Sophiasmum (first time I've said that! ).

I saw that story last night Mrs TM, so sad.

Samtoby, you may be like me and Ov later in your cycle even though it's 28 days, don't worry too much. Is this your first month of using your CBFM? Some women report it not picking up a peak on the first month so it could be that too.

AFM, nothing to report. Not really tracking things (My name is Birdie and I haven't POAS for 30 days now! ), I noticed a little EWCM on sunday but nothing else since so not sure if I've OV'd or not.

BabyMad

Good morning Ladies!

Welcome Naomii - fingers crossed it's good news for you!

Cd 19 here and I'm calling ov on Sunday so 2dpo. We dtd cd 9, 10,12,14,17 & 18 so fingers crossed we caught it this month.

It's been a bit wierd waiting for ov this month, I nearly got a positive opk on cd10 but nothing since and i felt like i ov'd saturday night which also corresponds with the app on my phone but there was no positive opk and there hasn't been much cm. Anyway we have done our best this month so we'll see what happens.

We are definitely buying a CBFM this month on cd1 if it comes!

Congratulations on the house move Becca I hope you've settled in nicely. We are moving on Saturday too. I was hoping to be pregnant when we moved but that hasn't happened yet. They do say new house, new baby though so fingers crossed that old wives tale comes true for us!

Good luck everyone and I agree we need more bfp's this month!!

Kynthia

Argh! I got a peak reading today which I didn't expect! :eek:

Everything's all wrong this month as I usually have highs from day 11 and peak about CD17. However i only got my first high yesterday on CD13 going straight to today's peak. One day's warning isn't enough and we haven't dtd at all due to being unwell. Oh well no New Year baby for me.

Babymad - as you can see a CBFM doesn't always make things clearer.

Samtoby - you might ov slightly later in your cycle and have a slightly shorter luteal phase, or your monitor might need a cycle to adjust to your readings or you might be having a slightly longer cycle. Don't worry.

Loulou123 - I think I've heard that its really common to sense a presence by your bed and it's something to do with our brain being between sleep and awake stages. Some people also experience an occasional paralysis too in that stage for a few seconds as they awaken before their brain awakens their body. It's scary but harmless I think.

Sophiesmum - I hope you get you negative reading soon.

How is everyone's weight loss going? You inspired me to go back to weight watchers last night.

You ovulate 14 days before AF not after - on average. Most people have a luteal phase of 10-16 days so for a 28 day cycle that would be between cd12 and 18.

So don't worry til cd18!

Plus you might just be having a longer cycle this month.

Kynthia - Well done on going back to Weight Watchers I put on a half pound which I'm ok with, after the wedding weekend. Could have been worse! I've always used Optical Express and found them great but I guess like anything branch to branch probably differs.
Oh no - a peak already - is there no way to squeeze in even one very very quick BD?

Birdie85 - I had my surgery done at Optical Express. The whole thing took under 10 mins start to finish and I had zero pain during and after. My eyes starting stinging and streaming about an hour afterwards and lasted a few hours. I went to bed, woke up the next day good as new but I could see! The white bits of my eyes were a little red and that took 2 weeks to go away. Can honestly say it was quick and pain free. I had the wavefront one, so no incision was needed. I don't miss my glasses at all. Looking forward to buying some designer sunglasses for the summer
And no poas for 30 days, you deserve a medal birdie! :T

alice31 - FF is good so do persevere with it. On my chart, where the calendar is, it shows that 18th 19th & 20th with a dark green border meaning that those are my fertile days and then the 21st has a light green border estimating OV will happen on that day. It might be that as it's the first month you've used it, it can't predict yet as it has no previous data to work from and doesn't know your cycles well enough. You will find though when you do OV this month, you'll see some red lines on your chart and it will confirm OV if it has enough info to work from (ie temps and ewcm info). I hope that makes sense

Mrs TM - There are just no words to the sad things that happen in the world.......

becca0417 - I'm crossing my fingers for TRIPLETS for you. Hard work I bet, but amazing! The wedding was lovely. I love weddings and have another one in October. 3 to attend this year, the most ever! Oh, and I'll get on your BFP request right away

codemonkey - kajungas! :T .....Hope they're not as sore as last night

naomijj - I've not had that test, but glad you're getting it checked out. ((hugs))

angeltreats - I am a chatterbox but at least I put all my typing into 1 post (mostly) (only cos I mostly only get on once a day, tee hee)

sophiasmum - You see if excercise means that you don't sleep, that's just another excuse not to bother with the excercise :rotfl:

claire16c - Even 2 minutes of running seems like a massive feat! Well done to you......

loulou123 - Hope the cbfm works out alright for you. They are pretty good. Those dreams don't sound good at all. I've had dreams like that before but I have a really overactive imagination so I can't watch horror films or suspense things any more. Hope you get some decent sleep tonight

samtoby - No need to worry at all. Day 14 for OV in a 28 cycle is on an assumption that the 2 week wait/ Luteal Phase is actually 14 days, but everyone is different. My last 2 cycles, the LP has only been 7 days so even on a 30 days cycle, I would be seeing OV at CD23. Make sense? I hope so anyway

BabyMad - Good luck with the house move on Saturday. Crossing my fingers that you won't be buying a cbfm.......

Have a good day everyone......

I use kajungas just for you twigpig. My kajungas are less sore today which I am taking as a bad sign. Surely if something was implanting in there my progesterone wouldn't be falling? Sigh.

Also found out DH might be being sent to Wales next month for meeting so who wants to bet it will be during ov.
