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

My powers of seduction are still in force!!

Nicksters :) I got a few veins last week, but nothing scary yet, ooh I'm so looking forward to getting all these wierd things happening to my body

Battery - my mouth fell open when I read "infants door", until I read the rest of the sentence! Phew!

IF urm that was meant to be a question... are the scary blue veins starting to appear... gah... i am illiterate!

Lizard Nickster here!

IF sorry you feel rubbish :( i bet its all linked !! Great you still have the norks too :) and the scary blue veins starting to appear :) get the eucalyptus and peppermint oil out tonight.... Tired is a fab sign too :) Snowed in huh? wonder if we will get a white christmas this year, that'll cause carnage!

battery infants door? tell me you didnt have needles in your fanjo? (phew, just scrolled back!) I had ad hock bleeding in between MC (nat though) and AF 5 ish weeks later. If you are still in the WTF cycle anything is possible, sadly :( have no clue about temps during that tho, as this month is novice month but first full month (and so glad of it too...otherwise my imaginary pg symptoms would have sent me doo-lally by now!)

Lady know exactly what you mean about the early notification - its brill!

Hi Battery in my first AF temps did not drop below coverline for quite a few days.

Bloody hell, Terrys - he's sticking to the plan then. Fantatstic! I reckon one more SWI tonight and you'll be laughing (or hopefully throwing up with sore boobs)

battery my temp did not dip below last month's coverline until CD9. This months coverline will be much higher for me, I am sure!

Hello everyone :)

Hello nicks - are you a cold blooded mammal is disguise - cos that is one hell of a chilly temperature you have got there!
terrys am very of your + opk but very :) for you too !! xx
if you sound like you need a hot toddy - not that you are allowed one of course!
split hello how are you getting on?
getdown glad you are feeling better x

Well not a lot happenng here, been for my acupuncture session today and she stuck a few needles in 'my infants door'- which turns out is my tummy (was a bit worried for a minute there!)
I think I have my first AF sicne my erpc -it is really light - spotting really - does anyone know if this is normal - my temp did drop but not below the cover line. So of course I now think I have something awful wrong with me. Any advice anyone?

big wave to everyone else xx

nickster I am hoping you're not dead or this is a new MN experience for me!!

IfatFirst I had my one and only flu when PG with DS, it is horrid but quite common I think. Hope you feel better soon!

We don't have snow yet, I'm but still prefer to live in the tropical sarf!

Still trying to convince DH to SWI (complaning about being knackered but I will remind him he promised me EVERY night so he'd better stick to it, he has for the last 6!!) - wish me luck!!

Sorry Terrys didn't mean to ignore you

AF is due on tues or more likely wednesday, I think I will test on thursday if AF not arrived, and if I can summon up willpower to not test until then!

Gosh nickster that was a temp drop and a half!! It has been very cold though. I've had a 35 degree reading before, but never a 34 degree one!

Sorry you are feeling ill IfAtFirst. Me too, although I am slightly better today. Hopefully your's won't last long.

I think I'm the opposite of you nicksters, my temp is through the roof. In fact, intead of giving a slightly annoying "beep beep beep, my BBT gave a horrendous shrill that I thought it was going to self distruct in my gob! www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3

Although, we did unitentionally leave the heating on full blast all night and I'm loaded with cold!

So, I'm having a I feel sorry for myself day today :( Full of cold and can't take anything to relieve it, so I'm sat here drinking hot lemon. I cant even go to the shop to get some nice tissues cos of the bastard snow (nearest shop is 5 miles away, and DH had to abandon his car trying to get to work this morning), so instead I'm using sandpaper-type loo roll, and seasonally starting to look like rudolph!

The thing that's annoying me is that this cold is masking any possible symptoms, so I don't know if the headache, lack of appetite, deathly taste in my mouth and tiredness are to do with the cold. The only thing I can count on is the rock hard boobs!
However,I have been bursting in to tears randomly a few times today (feel like crap, DH being nice to me, DH rolling his eyes at me after my 700th coughing fit, spashing water on me while attempting to do the dishe whilst at the same time trying not to let my nose run, not being able to have a HOT bath, so overcautiously put gallons of cold in, so that it was flippin tepid when I got in and there was not enough hot water left to warm it up) agggrrggh.

Sorry for the long rant - as you were!

Yeah, Terrys. You'll be cross with yourself if you don't. Get on with it . I want a positive from you this month, lady!

Must be really strange not SWIing when you see a pos OPK, spilt. I wish I could help you make the time go faster.

Wow, those temps have dropped Nickster. Sort of good to have advanced warning though rather than getting hopes upand then getting AF? Is rubbish at any time but you know what I mean.

Thanks spilt that was with 3 in a bed (well 2 adults and a wriggling DS) the heating on and i didnt dare register the real temp of 34.41 so i put in 34.51! Snowing here too... well a snithering anyway. I am a little blue veined i think i must belong to the cullen family or something Woolly jimmys tonight and heating on FULL!

TCOYF is fab isnt it?! So empowering. I wish i had bothered to know about all this for the last 20 years.... funny, i havent bothered til i needed to.

Hope you have had chance to digest the info you were given by the consultant spilt I hope you feel ok (ish) x

afternoon all, goodness its cold!!

Hope all ok. Terrys good that oxy levels have stabilised hope he is ok x

Can i please ask what you make of this chart?

my chart today

should i be dead or something with those temp drops? Admittedly i have had broken sleep, its cold etc but still to me looks a touch unnerving! Just waiting for AF to arrive now.

Hello all. Temp up a bit today but not enough to assume yesterday was O-Day. Also my cervix feels very open today (more than last few) and got EWCM so I reckon today might be the day. Not sure if we have time to SWI today though.

spilt I think its great that you are using FAM and charting anyway, stay with us!

Fingers crossed for you GetDown when will you test??

LadyG so pleased that symptoms and tests are all good, I think symptoms are an even better sign that things are happening down there!

I know spilt - that's why I didn't even do a preg test till 19DPO because I didn't think there was any chance I could be!! I had been really fed up all cycle, knowing we'd missed our window! The weird thing too was that I didn't seem to have any EWCM, but obviously there was some "up there" to keep the swimmers going!

Glad to hear all is looking so positive Lady. I'm so glad you got that elusive 3+ weeks on the CB digital. When I had my MC last cycle it never went above 1-2 weeks So I guess I knew something was up 3+ weeks and big boobs are definitely good signs

Must be strange for you spilt to now be avoiding your fertile days! Be careful as not sure if I mentioned it before but my DD was conceived from BD that happened 6 days before I ov'd. I would use condoms in the first part of your cycle.

Temps went up again today (37.04!) but have been a bit ill, so could be due to that...

What's your temp done this morning, Terrys? Weren't your first "positives", not qwuite positives though? Remember with OPK's it is not positive unless it is equally dark or darker. So you may ov yesterday or today or even tomorrow not unreasonable.

How is DS this morning?

Well I'm happy. Did another CB Digital (the last expensive one!) and got 3 weeks plus! Yay. Am 5+2 today. And have gone up a cup size already which didn't happen with the pregnancy I miscarried.

Hi Terrys - FF thinks I ov'd the day after my last positive OPK (chart here)

So I would guess you will ov. tomorrow...

Thanks for nice messages guys. DS is still not himself but I hope he is on the mend. He is all tucked up in bed and we keep checking on him.

You know what they say about buses, well you could use the same line for my +ve OPKs, now had 3!!

So when do you think I will OV? I thought today as temp dropped a lot and had a few cramping pains but if I got my last +ve OPK at 8.30 tonight, is that likely?
