    CD33 5DPO. AF due tomorrow if my first 2 cycles were correct, Friday if the last one was.

    Praying it doesn't come as that would be a stupidly short luteal phase :( please keep your fingers crossed for me!!

    Equally, if I'm not pregnant this month I guess i would like to know so I can move on...

    AF due Friday, so trying to hold off until then. Hubby just texted to say he's not feeling great either, so could be we're both coming down with something

    I have a CBFM the old style one which I bought from eBay for much cheapness. I like it but the sticks are pretty expensive. Your asked to do 10 or 20 sticks each month depending on cycle length and when you ovulate. It usually asks me to start testing about CD8 which is usually classed as "Low" and then I get a few days of "Highs" and at Ov time I get 2 days of "peak". Think it's better for those who find OPKs hard to interpret but my OPKS are pretty clear so might stop using CBFM.

    Thanks Toots, so is it just similar to the CB digital OPKs then that I was using anyway?! I always get a peak on those so not sure if the CBFM is really worth it for me if it doesn't do anything else?! I need to do some further investigation really x

    Morning,

    Big temp drop this morning, the witch is looming large.... expected any time today now I think. Ahh, temping, so useful yet brings the disappointment even sooner than POAS!

    Oh well... can anyone recommend the best place to buy the CBFM and share any experience using it? I will watch the video on the CB site but can't access it at work. Might get some Preseed/Conceive+ too so any experiences with this would be useful too?

    Keeping nice and positive... no tears this month! Month 6 could be the one, just need to keep telling myself that... I've learnt so much about my body in the last 5 months, its been a real eye opener for sure.

    Good luck all 2ww and BDers xx

    best of luck!!!! I too have purchased some conceive plus, the MSE in me is afraid to use it though, so expensive.!

    Fingers crossed for you cats - is there anything that can be done to lengthen a luteal phase? Sorry I've only just joined the thread and don't know the background etc.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Evening all !
    I am another one who gets insensitive comments asking when we are going to have a baby. Especially at work. I think people just don't realise. CD21 here, been feeling yukky with a cold. Lots of CM (sorry tmi). Very tempted to do a test tomorrow. I have some of the 10mIU/ml tests which can apparantly be ysed 6 days before period due. It's difficiult to know when to test with having cycles that vary in length. No signs of any implantation bleeding/spotting/pains so not feeling hopeful. Just want to know either way !!!
    Looks like there is a few of us waiting to test anyway so will keep popping on to check. Uld be nice to get a few BFP'S squeezed into August!!!

    Mancmama & rockm87 we use conceive plus. Seems to last us quite a while so makes up for the pricetag.Also the month we conceived we had used it. I must have spent a fortune on PG tests, OV tests, thermometers etc!
