Hi Emma, my update for the front page

Poppy1987 - cycle 15
3rd cycle on cbfm
Using epo 2000mg upto ov
Mother and farther to be vitamins
Vitamin c
Conceive plus
Af due 17th or 19th August, I'm not testing!!
 
On another note the epo is amazing I have loads of ewcm, i usually get some on the run up to ov but had quite abit this month and I'm sure it making me more up for sexy time!
 
Hey everyone. Day 18 and still showing high. Have I read right that it doesn't always show a peak on first use?

So this month...
No caffeine (not that I really did before)
EPO (2000)
First cycle using CBFM
lost count of cycles ...3 years now.
Due 13th aug (not testing!)

Guessing it will be more obvious next month with regards to EPO. As I have not noticed a difference this month. I've actually felt dryer than usual, odd.

Hey glad its working for you,

I only took 1000mg last month whilst i did notice some EWCM it wasnt much and was at the wrong time of the cycle! Lol

I dont recall it making me more up for sexy time tho....thats a nice side effect! Lol

I'm a bit gutted this month tho as i've been told i cant take it and as it may interfer with the clomid! But one of the girls in the ltttc section took it with her clomid and she got her bfp...so it cant interfer that much....I might give it ago next month.

Hi niknak

Unfortunately yes it doesnt always show peak on the first cycle, thats not to say tho that your not ovulating, its just getting use to your cycle/hormone levels.

As for the epo, how odd that its making you dry! This is gonna sound silly but drinking loads of water is ment to help with EWCM when taking epo....at least thats what i read on another site. If you find that you dry when you get your peaks you should use something like conceive plus or pre-seed otherwise the little swimmers might not make it too far!

How long are your cycles normally? i might be ovulating a little later than normal, i think on my first cycle i got my peak on cd17-18 yet the next cycle i got it on something like cd13-14.

Fingers crossed your peak is right around the corner x x x

Thank you! Think I know what I'm doing now. Will have sticks on Wed (hopefully) so will start then on cd2 and skip machine to day 2. Will reread instructions later :)

Hey hun did you fathom out how to reset it? Hope your stick arrive on time, i think i set mine last cycle on cycle day2...made no difference to the tests as it didnt ask for my first stick til the cd9. But as its your first time it'll ask for a stick on cd6 and will probably ask you for a total of 20 sticks first time round.

The next time you use it, it should only ask for 10 stick providing it picks up your surge(peak) within those 10 sticks. If it picks up your surge on stick 6 you can use an old stick to pop in the monitor every day after that, as after your 2 peaks it'll give you 1 high reading and the rest will be lows, so reuse a old stick, saves you pennies. And it also says in the book not to mix test i.e they should all be from the same batch....rubbish!! I ran out of sticks last month, so used some sticks from an old batch and i still got my peak!

Anyhow i've waffled on, good luck with your first cycle hope it only takes one try! x x x

Thanks emma I think I've figured it-Justcneed to wait for my sticks to arrive to actually reset though. So tempted to pick some up in boots today but I'm spending a fortune on gadgets these days and as you say doing it on day 2 shouldnt matter!
I'm going to Ireland this month for 2 weeks to visit family. Oh is joining me the second week which will be after my fertile time I'm afraid :-( Still, will be good to start using the monitor &for it to get to know my body. When I booked my holiday I based it on my fertile time but I've just had a super long cycle which has messed everything up-So so annoying! Thanks again chick xx
 
Main page updated ladies,

If you need it altering let me know and i'll change ASAP. Good luck to you all this cycle. x x x

Im now on cd9...decided to have a layin today and forgot to pee on my stick :roll::wall2:

Little bit too chilled i think :lol:

Hi Emma, not been around for a bit, but here's my update for the front page

Mishi- cycle 6
4th cycle on cbfm (but first since I reset it so fx'd it's working properly now!)
Epo 2000mg
Pre conception vitamins (both of us)
DHEA 75mg, Aspirin 75mg

AF due 21st or 22nd August, but won't test unless not here by 23rd.

xx
 
Thanks Emma. Average cycle is 29 although varies between 27 and 31. Re EPO, it could just be that I'm thinking im drier as I'm paying more attention if that makes sense. I def haven't noticed and stretchy cm though. Saying that, we have also upped out bd so that could be a factor too....oh so technical, haha.

Thanks for all the tips you are passing x

Hey mishi :wave:

How have you been?? Was starting to think you had left us :shock:

Oh you've reset the monitor, i hope this month it works for you! Dont forget tho that it will ask for 20 sticks this cycle! Didnt want you falling short!

Can i ask what is DHEA?? If seen it mentioned a few times but not actually sure what it is...i would google it but i dont have time...and sometimes google lies! :lol:

I'll update your info when i get home hun.

FX for you, hope this is your month x x x
 
Quick question - where are sticks cheapest? I'm planning to reuse a stick after I get my peak & the next day high this cycle. But then I need some more anyway for next month. Boots are about £24.99 for 20. Has anyone found them priced better online? I happened to get some off eBay once but thy was lucky. Did save me a fiver though. :)


 
I just got these off eBay - came all sealed and everything I only paid £17.99 but there're now £18.99. Still cheaper though and you get free lube hahaha!! Not sure if its sperm-friendly though!! Xx

Ahhh help me. I just wrote in ttc but I have an ache in my left side today an got my first peak just now surely I'm not ov'ing now am I, it's 24 hours after??

We have not bd since Monday so will be straight on it tonight and all weekend!
 
Dont panic hun,

It probably just your ovary getting ready!! You can get ovulation pains for days hun, starting before and lasting til after ov...i have an achey feeling in my left side right now, im not ovualting but i know im not far off.

If you've had your peak you can ovulate anytime from 12-36hours later...but every lady is different. Bd like rabbits!!! Lol good luck hun x x x
 
P.s i know when i ovulate...the actually time the egg release i get super bad stabbing pains, like hot poker. Lasts for a few mins.

Then the aches return for a day or so.

Look out for stabbing pains..... x x x x
 
Thanks, I have had an ache and stabbing pains since I woke up at7am. I hope I havnt missed ov!!! X
 
ummm im not sure hun.

You got any other signs? ewcm? Do you temp chart?

I've started this month, just so i can see when i ovulated.

Fingers crossed its just a super huge egg, thats getting ready and causing you the discomfort!

When the pain goes thats when you know you have ovulated, so from now til then bd like crazy! x x x
