    Only Mrs T-M can change the list on the front page - im sure she will add you when shes next on :-)

    The ovulation sticks for the monitor are on offer on amazon at the minute as well.. they are around £15 - they're £25 in boots. Ive stocked up for a few months! Very MSE.....!

    Please could I be added to the list on the front page Kellykins? Age 36, TTC #2 from March 2014 (ie next month!).

    Have added you.

    Wish that I could still be on the graduates list. :(

    At least it seems that the bleeding has stopped. Now just to get myself motivated and calm enough to try again.

    I currently use the clearblue digital advanced sticks. I am so irregular I need something to help me work out my cycle! How does the CBFM differ to the normal sticks? Is it better?

    Thank you :D

    Thank you. Hugs (however dodgy), prayers, and thoughts for us are still greatly appreciated. Hopefully it won't take us long to get back on the graduates list! DH and I will be doing NTNP for about 6 months, then if we still haven't caught, we will start trying a bit harder. I'll still be tracking everything, just not worrying much about timing. The bleeding has all but stopped, so as soon as my next AF shows up, I'll be back on the lists. In all honesty, I hope that I don't get AF and I'm pregnant before I get a chance at getting AF! I was enjoying not having periods!

    That sounds like a good plan MRS TM.
  • Hi all, just wondering if any of you have tried Reiki? I'm going for my 1st session later today. Read a lot about it & its described as a very relaxing, natural healing....anything is worth a go & if it's going to help relaxation its got to help when TTC!

    Thank you :D

    If you use the ones that give you a high before the peak, stick to those. They tell you the same as the cbfm and no need to buy the monitor.

    Im not really sure why clear blue started making them as they effectively made their monitor redundant.
  • Hello Ladies,

    I’m not sure if I can join in yet but have been reading your thread for a while.

    I have posted on the waiting to try thread but am not sure I belong there now either!

    I thought OH & I would be starting to try for our 1st baby from around September this year but OH brought that forward at the beginning of January by suggesting I don't take the pill anymore! :eek::T
    I’m excited that we’re 9 months ahead of our plans but also know that my cycles will take months to get back to normal so we’re not really waiting anymore but we’re not really ‘trying’ yet either are we? (Despite his belief in his swimmers!!)

    I have joined FF to sort of keep an eye on things but am trying not to let my head get overtaken by it all while I wait for my first AF. According to FF I’m now on CD31 (from 1st day of AF from last pill packet) I had cramping last week that I used to get just before my week break but no signs as of yet.

    Sorry I didn’t mean for this to be so long, I just wanted to say hello! :o I feel in limbo at the moment and you’re all so lovely and supportive of each other I guess I am after someone telling me not to get ahead of myself despite the fact we’re not really ‘waiting’ anymore.

    Hello Estateprincess

    Well I guess we'd say you're NTNP - not trying but not preventing! Good luck to you. xx
