Bella - you need a BBT thermometer (digital are best) - don't just use a normal one. Have a look on the Lullaby Conceptions website, the one they have there is the one I have. I bought it at the chemist though as it was cheaper.

Join up with Fertility Friend too. Basically, you need to have 3 hours consecutive sleep and then temp at the same time each day. I take mine at 6am and at the weekend, I set my alarm for that time too. The good thing about the BBT thermometer is that it has a memory so you can just go straight back to sleep and log it on Fertility Friend when you're ready to get up properly.

So sorry AF arrived - GL with the next cycle, Fertility Friend will help I think, it made me feel a lot more confident and in control. Big hugs to you. Have some wine

Mabello - any news....?

Bella, so sorry AF arrived. Me too, yesterday, she's settled right at home...b****!
Lou lou gave you perfect advice. I got my thermometer at chemist too, and I set alarm for 7.30 every day. I found charting fascinating and now (sadly

) have started my second cycle chart. Fertility Friend website is great.

Mabellow????

Hi All, Haven't been around for a while but sending :goodluck2: to all those in the TWW. Well, for us the third round of clomid plus first round of pregnyl (HCG) injections resulted in a BFN!

We have decided to take this month off and as part of that will probably try to stay away from the computer as I'm trying for a psychological break as well as physically from the medication. Had bloods and an internal scan today to assess ovarian reserve "egg timer test". We will try clomid/pregnyl again in a month or two but I think we will end with IVF which is currently planned to start around october.

Hope when I next check in there have been some BFPs
