Well after being on cerazette for just over a year i came off 12 weeks ago.



so I have been ttc for about 2 1/2 months, not long compared to some people. I have been waiting for AF to turn up, hoping that it would and hoping i would eventualyy get a BFP but AF has turned up imageimage



The only positive thing about AF turning up is that i can start my CBFM.

Has anyone used it before? anyone using now? anyone with sucesses?

Sorry for all the questions



Kelly

    Hi kellymyule sorry AF turned up hun.

    I've been using the CBFM for 8 months now, even though I'm not a success story (yet) I have read lots of +ve stories online of people getting BFP's when they've only used the CBFM for a month or two - hope you are one of the lucky ones.



    I still love it though, it's so easy to use and it's great to know that you are bding on the right days. Let me know if you've got any questions x

    Thanks! Be needing one soon. Incidently, when is best time to check? Have a full cycle first or what? Sorry, bit of a hijack, but my head is full of questions!

    Hiya, I'm just on my 12 week wait till my first proper scan (had an early scan at 7+2 and saw heartbeat) but I guess I'm one of the success stories that got a bfp the first month I used CBFM - albeit I say that tentatively as I don't want to jinx anything, I'm not selling my CBFM till I know everything is ok!!!



    It was dead easy to use and I'm convinced had I not had it I wouldn't have got my bfp as my peak days were 16 and I would have thought it was a couple of days before so would probably have missed the boat!



    Good luck with yours, I hope you get your BFP soon x

    Hi,



    The CBFM is defo useful!! i was trying for over a year with no joy started using CBFM and realised i didnt ovulate regularly after further investigations i found out i have PCOS and we had to use fertility drugs to make me ovulate but i used the CBFM until the end and eventually got my BFP after 2 years and 7 months.



    The CBFM did help and im really glad i bought it otherwise i would never have known when i was ovulating due to irregular periods.



    Good luck hope you get your BFP soon x
