So we haven't given up on our natural cycle and I have been POAS each morning and using my Clearblue Fertility Monitor. Since I started this on CD6 the monitor has read 'HIGH' which is strange because it normally starts off at 'LOW'. I thought maybe the DHEA is affecting it but no, the monitor is right as I am going to ovulate earlier than normal this cycle! How do I know this, well I got my 'PEAK' this morning:

Monitor indicates CD11 and has three bars with an egg in the top one that indicates PEAK fertility! The monitor stick above shows a dark LH line and a light oestrogen line. |
So normally this would be great and Hubby and I would be getting busy! However, this morning I have to go for my smear test. I was meant to have it in November but I didn't want it while I was pregnant and then I had the miscarriage, wonky cycles and IUI treatment. Also seeing as how I'm going into IVF after this cycle, I can't really put it off again.
Smear tests are very important and it is a shame that in the UK the big surge we had after Jade Goody died of cervical cancer, has almost reversed and ladies going for tests is very low again.
