I dont temp, no. I did try it but wasnt sure whether I was ovulating then or not and my temps were all over the place so I gave up. Your birthday sounds like a great excuse to jump on OH!! Happy Birthday for tomorrow.
I think the monitor has helped shorten my cycle - it seemd to be settling at 42 days but on the 1st month of using the cbfm, relaxing a little and not stressing or symptom spotting - my cycle was only 36 days. af showed up on Sunday - totally unexpected.
Obviously im not happy that af found me but i am pleased that my cycle was 6 days shorter.
is everyone else still a firm believer in the cbfm?
SS - could it just be that you are approaching the end of your cycle therefore the EWCM?? Weird that we are at a similar stage with coming off the pill etc!
Rainbow - there's nothing in particular that's making me thinking it, just wishful thinking! I do have very sore (.)(.) and pre-AF type cramps but that's it. On CD23 so it could well be that AF is on her way. Since I came off the pill though I weirdly have not had any AF symptoms, no pain or anything. Which is odd because when I was on the pill I had pretty bad period pain.
Hi Rainbow, I've got my third low today. I'm thinking I'll get my peak early next week. I'm loving this POAS malarky, think there could be a bit of an obsession building lol.
Second snow day for me today - yey! Loving being all warm in my house
Symptoms are just the same really - sore (.)(.) and lots of CM (TMI!!). I can't help feeling that it's just pre AF symptoms which would be ok too as it would mean that my cycles are settling down to a more normal length. But at the same time I am desperate to POAS!! Only CD25 so know it's too early anyway it's just so tempting!!
In other news I have changed back to low today for the first time since CD8!!
Can I join u? This is my second mth of CBFM. My first month I was pleased as I had 2 peaks which corresponded with my temps. This month I had my first high on CD14, which we BD'd second high yesterday... no bd and Peak today CD 16... however for the past 4 mths I have ov'd on cd21, so think I will be early this month! Woohoo!!!
Going to BD like crazy tonight and tomorrow... woop woop! Will let you know if my temps go up as well
Hi Rainbow, I had no highs at all last time, went from low to peak, low on CD 20 and then Peak CD 21, 22.
This time I had first high on CD 14, second on CD 15, then Peak CD 16 and CD 17 - today. However... it didnt ask me to POAS today, just went striaght to peak. This normal?
Thanks x

Sorry not been on this thread for a few days- im saving myself for next week when I guess I will be getting my peaks! I find that as my cycles are so long I need to save all my PMA for the last couple of weeks otherwise I will run out of steam by the time I get to my two week wait lol
I'm CD 17 today, which is day 6 of highs, expecting to get a peak in 3-4 days.
How is everyone one doing then? RubyShoes how u getting on- any change?
What about everyone else, Rainbow how are you doing on PMA?
BabyDancer, I wouldn't worry about not POAS today, once you get your first peak, you always then get another peak, a high and then a low and I must admit I don't switch it on after my first peak as I know what's going to happen, plus the fact I don't need the 'm' to flash at me, I know when my AF is due thank you very much!
Hi LittleBug, nice to see you again How long are your cycle's usually?
I'm doing OK thanks ladies I got a 2nd high today an CD11, I didn't get my first peak until CD18 so expecting until around then too.
I'm on CD6 - not turned my monitor on since i set the 'm' button for this cycle - it always asks me too early to POAS when i know it will make no difference - think i'll turn it on tomorrow morning tho! I hope this cycle goes as well as the last.
rainbow - I know how u feel getting the first peak on CBMF - heaven knows what we'll be like when we get our BFP's LOL - i was already running round with a high on the monitor......
Replies
highs from cd10-24 then a low on my last stick - cd25
thought it could maybe be a longer cycle if getting it today, hmmmm xxx
Hope you are being eased back into work gently.
