Beautiful, thank you MrsA Smile

My roasties were yummy. All eight of them!

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 15:56

Though if we fill this one as quickly as last time then GetDown only has about 6 weeks to wait before she can be the Volume 5 starter.

Here's hoping the legend works it's magic for you MrsA Wink

Hello all, mind if I drop in on this thread?
I only started charting this cycle but have been TTC for the last few months.
I'm currently 10DPO and my temp took a nosedive this morning so I'm not feeling too hopeful Sad

Can anyone let me know how to post a link to a chart on here from FF?????

Fanks!

franjam · 16/12/2010 16:11

PS - I've been an avid readers of the Charters 3 thread so your names are familiar so far!! Hope we can support each other....DP doesn't quite get the charting thing and the fact that every twinge I get plays on my mind for hours as a possible sign....it drives me mad so it'd great to have likeminded peeps on here!
[smile

franjam · 16/12/2010 16:11

PPS - apologies for the spelling mistakes LOL!!! and it's supposed to be a Smile on the end!

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 16:24

framjam on FF just above the calendar it says "Home Page Setup". Click on that. Select the charts you want to share (and decide if you want to share shagging data etc!) and hit "Save Settings". At the top of the homepage setup page in a box is the web address for your chart. Give us that link and we can have a snoop Smile

And welcome, hope you like it here.

I must say it's weird when people arrive and say they've been reading for a while, I suddenly get all self conscious... I forget that people other than the posters are reading (stupid I know as I read way more than I post on MN!)

Are you ttc your first?

franjam · 16/12/2010 16:32

Lol!!! I realised that it sounds a bit stalkerish Spilt but the thread was going so fast and with the same few names appearing, I didn't want to intrude Blush

Yep, TTC our first. DP had a vasectomy reversal back in June and was told that his little swimmers weren't that great and there weren't as many as there should be....cue 3 months of no booze and caffeine to see if that improves anything. He's going to the clinic on Tuesday so we're keeping everything crossed that there's been an improvement otherwise we're looking at ICSI. And we'd have to do it privately as DP has 3 kids already so we wouldn't be able to do it thru the NHS.

Anyway, that's my backstory lol!!! Here's my chart - I'm interested to know what you think...it's either an implantation dip or AF is due tomorrow Sad

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 17:00

Nah stalkerish is fine!

Sorry to hear about the vasectomy reversal, that must bring a whole new world of worry with it.

Looking at your chart I hate to say it but it looks like AF is coming. Implantation dips (not always seen) should be a lot smaller and always stay well above the coverline.

I hope I'm wrong, but if not then I wish you lots of luck for next time.

GetDownYouWillFall · 16/12/2010 17:04

Ahhh shucks! MRsA beat me to it!! Grin (it's ok really Grin)

WElcome to franjam. Smile glad that you'll be joining us. You don't have to be shy about posting, everyone just pops in here as and when they can.

I'm a bit depressed today. CM has gone back to creamy Sad Really thought this might be back to a "normal" length cycle (as the last cycle was a WTF one therefore loooong). Looks like it;s heading for another long one.

And today is my birthday and it's chucked it down with rain all day Sad The house is a pigsty as I've been at DD's nursery party all afternoon (now have a headache). Sorry for moaning.

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 16/12/2010 17:09

Just marking my place on the shiny new thread )good job, MrsA ) - been out of the loop a bit the last few days with manic work but finished for Christmas now (yay!)

Hello and welcome franjam will keep my fx that the clean living has worked and you get some good test results soon!

spilt hope you're doing ok, lunch sounds yummy Xmas Grin

fedup sorry to read about your mil, hope things are starting to look up a bit and you're not too stressed?

Anyhoo, here's my chart

CBFM went up to peak today and have seen acupuncturist who says my hormones are good, so keeping my fx for ov today or tomorrow. In the meantime I'm trying to get plenty of swi in!

LadyGoneGaga · 16/12/2010 17:35

Just checking out the new fred. Well done, MrsA - hope it works for you.

Happy Birthday, Getdown! Hope that bloomin' egg comes out soon.

I had acupuncture today, Izzy. She was working on curbing my nausea - can't say I feel much different to be honest!

Welcome Franjam!

Hope you enjoyed your lunch, Spilt - make the most of it while you can still stomach things. Feel bleurgh.

Iwish · 16/12/2010 17:59

Happy birthday Getdown!

Welcome franjam. I'm a newbie here too ttc #1. These lovely ladies are v sweet and so helpful :)

Flippin opk still -ve this afternoon. Not even a faint line! I'm getting a bit worried as I've not seen a line yet, keep telling myself it's just because I'm going to OV later but I keep getting worried. My first time using opks and charting.

TerrysNo2 · 16/12/2010 18:01

Hello all. Been away with work so just skimmed but can't keep up, hope you will excuse me for not responding!

I am feeling very clever today - last night I "drank" one glass of champagne, two beers and two vodka and cokes, according to my inquisitive work colleagues. But surprisingly I have no hangover!! Grin My trick was to take one tiny sip and then put the glass down and go and mingle with someone else and the vodka and cokes were actually vodka free!! Grin

So and promises to keep up to date now I'm back! Smile

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 18:11

Happy birthday GetDown Smile Hope you hatch one soon.

Sorry you're so rough Lady it is miserable. I am fully expecting to be just the same in about a week so I am definitely making the most of this ok bit (as evidenced today Grin)

Well done terrys on all that "booze". Mine would have smelt a rat because just 2 of those would have had me stumbling and giggling like a loon.

Iwish with your OPKs, as many of the girls here will testify it is perfectly possible (and common) to ovulate without getting a + OPK. Some people just don't get on with them for various reasons. The hormone surge can be so short that you miss it completely with daily testing so don't stress yourself overly.

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 16/12/2010 18:17

X-posts getdown - happy birthday! Hope your cycle behaves and you get to ov soon!

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 16/12/2010 18:26

Hola:)

And a hurl for me too!

Felt as sick as a goat today :)
Cannot stand the smell of cat food!
Very nearly couldn't eat my hotel full English, but forced it down! Craving fresh orange seems to take away the watery mouth!

Catch up properly in bit! Need more food... Yum roasts spilt

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 16/12/2010 18:27

God.... All I can think about are roasts!!

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 18:29

Nix you get a badge for your first puking. Well done Smile

When are you home? Is the hotel inconsiderately failing to provide roast dinners?

franjam · 16/12/2010 18:38

Spilt - I suspected that AF was on her way.....Sad oh well, I get to drink, eat brie and pate over Xmas without worrying lol!!!

Getdown - hope you feel slightly more cheery soon, happy birthday!

izzy - thanks for the crossed fingers!

Hi gaga!

Iwish - I didn't get a positive response this month from the OPKs I was using so I don't think I'll bother with them again. My chart shows that I've ov'ed so I wasn't too worried that the OPKs didn't show anything.

terrys - nice work!

Might console myself with a nice big bar of choccie and a cider & black (I'm well classy lol) and wait and see what the thermometer says in the morning. I am ill at the mo with an ear infection and I didn't sleep too well last night so could that account for the dip? Or am I just hoping???!!!

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 18:40

ooh another food related bounce of excitement -

I am having roast duck with more roasties and parsnips tonight!

Yum

This baby will be so fat!

GetDownYouWillFall · 16/12/2010 18:56

thank you for all the lovely birthday messages! Smile

Iwish · 16/12/2010 19:06

terrys well done for getting away with that!! My colleagues would have sussed I think.

split thanks for the reassurance :). I just hope something happens soon. Oooh roasties obsession!!

Which opks did you use franjam? I hope af doesn't arrive for you, hope it's a combination of rubbish sleep and illness...

I started with a flipping cough this morning, everyone at work has been off with horrible cold/fluey things so I hope I don't get it, will play havock with SWI!

franjam · 16/12/2010 19:11

iwish I ordered a thermometer on Amazon and it came with 10 OPKs and 10 pregnancy tests for about 7 quid.
I found it quite hard to get the timing right - it's a bit tough peeing in a cup when you're at work! I think I must have just missed the surge of LH but I don't fancy peeing in a cup for 10 days on my next cycle, it just isn't practical for me. Charting gives me all the info I need to know so I'm just gonna stick with that I think!

mousebacon · 16/12/2010 19:22

found you! Hello ladies, happy birthday getdown

This is going to sound ridiculous but I am jealous of the puking! I have been feeling queasy on and off but it's not at that epic need to sit down now level. It's normally at it's worst in week 7 & 8 so I'll probably regret this when I can't eat my Christmas dinner!

spilt your lunch sounds yum - I just had salmon with mashed potato! Love the stodge!

Welcome newbies, we're a friendly bunch Xmas Smile

Ok, quick question, who's finished their xmas shopping? I am DOOMED!!!

Iwish · 16/12/2010 19:35

Thanx franjam. I ordered a thermometer 35opks and 15 early pg tests for about a tenner off eBay. I have been using one at 7am and one at 5pm when get home from work. Can't do them at work as I work in a big office so the loos are always busy... When do you stop SWI? Do you just wait for FF to say you have OV'd? Sorry I have noooo idea. We have just been dtd from about cd10 till about cd20 then just whenever we felt like it after then.

Hi mouse. Hope you are ok Xmas Smile. I have got all my prezzies and s couple are wrapped. I'm organised this year for once!
