Charter's Anonymous: Volume 3, here's to better luck this time for us all!

Different thermometers read differently Terrys. My DD's one always reads low readings compared to mine. I wouldn't trust it TBh, I expect your BBT one would have read higher than that. Make a note of it on your chart.

How annoying! Hope you find your BBT one soon!

Evening all, been away with no t'internet and laptop about to die, will go charge it so I can say hello properly in a bit but first a question....

DS has lost my BBT therm - no idea what he has done with it - so as a makeshift this am I used his one, accurate to 0.1 degree and used in the mouth. Anyway it was 36.2, which really confused me as that was quite a drop but I had expected it to be higher, not lower as I went to bed at 1am and took temp at 5.45am (thanks to DS) and I had a couple of glasses of wine last night ().

So what do you think??

Good morning all, beautful sunshine here but deathly cold... roads are like icerinks! My DH went snowboarding up on Buxton yesterday... he was waist deep in snow!!! Bonkers huh?! DS has pox, is covered from head to foot in blisters poor baby.... wasnt very happy from 1.30 this morn til 5am thats for sure!! Then getting up at 7.30 am...mummy wasnt particularly!

//How are we all? spilt fab that dh made it home safely :) thank god! Kind man stopping to help!! mouse feeling ok ta. Have done several more tests, not using first urine and they come up strong lines very quickly. Boobs have changed and feel fuller, little bit of cramping but i have been in bed at 9.30 the last 3 nights!! no nausea yet but my appetite has increased well thats my excuse and i am sticking to it

terrys how is DS now? LadyGG how do you feel - everything good? *nannyl i was about to say that looks a promising chart, but if they have dropped perhaps not! I have just realised that our bfp would (if it sticks~) result in a young child, august! Hey ho, would have been midyear if pg 2 had stuck. Cant always plan these things, but great if you can x

(my cycle is always 28 days, just not this time!)

Good morning all.

Well my temp dropped to 36.53 this morning... I guess AF might be on her way tomorrow.
Am very excited as it means this is the month that we are TTC, and having had a 29 day cycle for the 1st time ever since i came off the pill, it means that if im successful baby will be due on my birthday.

Am getting out my clear blue fertility monitor that i bought back in Augast ready for this month, although now i have charted so much i dont think i need a machine to tell me, but i have it so might as well use it!

Hi all, sorry I've been a bit quiet, was DD's 3rd birthday yesterday and have had a manic few days with party organising and everything!

Very boring chart for me at the moment GetDown's chart CD5 The only strange thing is that I'm still having fresh red bleeding, normally only get this on day 1 and day 2 at the most. Could this be something to do with the WTF cycle??

nannyl - hi! Looking at your chart looks like you ov'd on CD15. Your last unprotected sex was 7 days before this, and it IS possible to get pregnant from this, although unlikely. My DD was conceived from sex 6 days before ov. You may not be preg though, you may have just had an odd reading today where your temp took a spike. Hope you get the result you want!

mousebacon - really hope this is the one for you. Can understand your nervousness. Can't believe you haven't told DH!! Don't think I'd be able to hold it in!!

spilt pleased your DH is home safe and sound. Hope you've got a nice lazy day booked in for tomorrow. I don't mind the snow when I don't need to go anywhere but getting to work this week has been horrendous.

Still haven't told DH, it's not been too hard tbh. Am hoping to wait at least another week. Am knicker checking like there's no tomorrow. Expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I'd say I've pushed it to the back of my mind but we'd both know I was lying! I keep sneaking upstairs to look at the tests again.

I wish sodding amazon would deliver my internet cheapies (and clearblue digis!) so I can compare darkness! Damn snow!!

i really dont think we had any contraception failure

I guess you might never know for sure but certainly no sign or hint of anything going wrong.

Either way i wont mind... we were planning on waiitng til December cause i didnt want an Augast baby (or one of the youngest in the school year)

BUT we were gonna be properly trying this month anyway so the world wont end either way!

I have been charting to get to know my body for 5 months now!... yet its deciding to confuse me right now, when i thought id worked it all out!

Hello

can i join please

have been charting for months, but werent planning to TTC until December.

anyway this is my this months chart

to me it looks like a classic pregnancy chart?

BUT we used contraception after day 8 until 4 days AFTER ovulations.

I always have a 13 day LP and my temp always drops on day 28 (today)

will be doing a pg test soon i think of AF doesnt arrive tomo as she should.

Dont feel like shes on her way but also dont feel pg!

any ideas?
Thanks

Hi ladies,

spilt how was your evening last night? Hope your DH wasn't too hungover today!

How are you nix ? Any symptoms kicking in yet?

terrys that sounded like a lovely meal, hope you're having an equally lovely night tonight.

xxx

I generally dont drink Terrys, mainly cos i am such a lightweight! It will do you good to relax :) enjoy it

Am with you on the antisocial curling up in pj's and shutting out the world spilt especially in this hideous weather !!

Hope you are all ok this evening xx

Hello spilt!! My evening is going quite nicely, a starter of soft boiled duck egg on soda bread with some jamon. Next course is going to be partridge - DH cooking while I MN/watch TV, isn't life grand!!

BTW - when you ladies are on 2ww how much do you drink? Last month I didn't touch a drop (which was easy as I was ill and we didn't really go out) but this month I am having a glass of red tonight with DH's lovely meal and tomorrow night having dinner with friends so would like a glass or two. What do you think?

I know you can get PG even if you are drunk as I was stupendously hungover when we conceived DS and took my PG test when I was drunk!! (We weren't trying, before you think terribly of me!)

And how is everyone else tonight?

I used to use DS's in ear thermometer and it was rubbish, and really inconsistent, if this month isn't successful for you (although fingers crossed it is!) I would recommend purchasing a proper fertility thermometer as I think it would help you see a more consistent pattern. Just a thought! Good luck and let us know what happens.

Thanks for your reply, it is helpful! I don't take my temp with a fertility thermometer, I use an 'in-ear' digital one which normally is sensitive to pick up the post-ov temp rise. My cycles are very regular, I often have ewcm after ov but temp rise always shows ov on cd 15/16 so because I had a fever while ov'ing this month I manually added to override FF, because otherwise it wouldn't have been able to detect ov.

Hi munki I would say your chart looks quite erratic, do you take your temp with a fertility thermometer around the same time everyday? How do you know you OV-ed on CD15? I would say that there has been a big drop but it is still above the coverline so there is always a chance but I don't think anything can be conclusive except a BFP. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Is this how? www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2d55ea

I know it looks crap but I do feel pregnant. Am ttc #2 so have previous experience to compare to.

Can cold weather affect temps?

munki can you post your chart so we can look?

MrsA how old is DD? I want to potty train DS soon.

That 2ww is such a killer eh? I know how you feel.
spilt can't comment on your results as I don't understand but hope it bodes well.

Nothing to report here but temps seem more stable and had acupuncture yesterday.

Off work till Tuesday, so attempting to get DD out of nappies. On 4th change of clothes so far! Must be mad.

Hi all,

I haven't posted in here before but I'm charting and just wondered if any of you experts knew the answer to this question. I don't want to get my hopes up.

My temps went up massively at 9 and 10 dpo and then came right down again, still above the coverline but i inputted ovulation manually this month so the coverline means nothing. Gone up again today but only by .1 degrees C. I'm on CD 28 of 29 today, just wondering what you think to my chances of being PG? Because I've been having some symptoms including dark nipples which my DH noticed, so I'm not imagining it!

Thanks for your advice, please feel free to talk me down as the way I feel at the moment I will be gutted for AF to turn up.

Munki
