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

Aha! Now I get it. Note there are a few temps I had to discard due to my inability to wake up at the same time!

Have a look and see if you would agree with CD16 which it changed it too. Or was it 12. Im hopefully clinging to 12!

Just above your chart click on homepage set up and towards the top of this page you should have a web address something like this:

That would be great to get some opinions. Although I'm not sure how I actually do that?

Do I just post the web address of my chart? Im not sure?

Welcome sufferingbabyfever Yes, FF does like to play games with you and move the ov day frequently - well it does with me anyway.
What day are you on now?
Can you post a link to your chart, as there are some very clued up folk on here who can give you their opinion :)

Hi,

Looking for some advice from all you charters!

Quite new to charting.

This month FF decided i ovd on CD12 which tied in nicely with some CM. My temps have went steadily up from then. Had suspicious sore boobs for a week (never had this in my life!) now CD21 as of today.
Was pleased BD seemed to tie in nicely with CD12.

Then to my disgust FF has changed my ov day to day 16. Nothing matches this no CM, no BD (boo!) and my temps were already up!

Does FF change your coverline often? Im keeping BDing as Im concerned this will happen again.

Any opinions?

I think DS is trying to remind me what its like to have a newborn , 1 hour to get to sleep then up at 1.30am, 4am and 6am. He keeps screaming and getting out of bed. No idea what to do. Any ideas ladies??

Temps up again this morning - and have some slight cramping v far down, sound promising?

Same here Terrys. Get MiniG to bed, haul DP upstairs in window before MiniG wakes up (he's a crap sleeper). We're both on a mission this month, first proper cycle since the mc so both just want me to be pregnant again.

God just seen how my post reads!!!!

What I mean is, DD will be in bed by 7 and if DP sees stocking feet peeping under my jeans, it gets him in the mood for later and I haven't seen him since yesterday morning.

Terrys when needs must.....DP and i managed it twice on Wednesday but each time just took a few mins as we thought I'd ov, so we used the preseed lube and he just went for it.

Just to make it clear, i much prefer relaxing making love, but when the dates are key, love making can wait for another time

TMI - DP on way home with DD. Time to go and put the stockings on

my god *LadyG when do you have time for all that SWI-ing!?? I am impressed!! Charts looking up - we can be waiting together now.

I am 6dpo and having a variety of imagined symptoms - slight pain in lower right abdomen, back pain and tired (walking round town with 2yo DS and no pram may account for that one though!)

And DH is away from Sunday - Thursday evening so he said I have to wait for him to come back before I can test [grr] so that makes Friday, oh well, at least if AF comes before then I won't waste a test!!

PS - my last cycle was 26 days and FF had my AF due date as November 10th until I OV-ed and it changed it to Nov 14th which would be CD30, why would it do that?? (OV-ed on CD15)

Hmm - EWCM just returned. DP returning tonight. Hoping this bodes well. I suppose I could ov CD22 and still have a 32 day cycle.

spilt I hope the holiday is restful and a chance to heal a bit.

battery I agree with lady - get the troops up there anyway (I know you will) you could get a pos on an OPK just after you've done the deed and then those boys will still be around for the egg. It must be extra stressful when you don't have your sperm supply on tap - IYSWIM.

MrsA I can only think of the old expression - a watched kettle never boils. Meaning that when you weren't interested in whether the kettle was boiling at all it just got on with it. Now suddenly you are very intent on the whole thing and your body has gone a bit haywire. That's only based on what you've said on here, I haven't looked at your chart cos I am not sure how to read those charts (I'm a paper and pencil girl!)

morning ladies. i am officially pissed off.

If we assume that my LP is fairly consistent, then for years I have had cycles of around 28-31 days meaing I ov around day 18, 19, 20 or 21. Even before charting, I always notice EWCM in the run up to ov.

Despite only charting since June, DP and I have only really properly SWI for the past 2 cycles and what happens? As soon as we start to try my cycles go all over the place.
Last month I ov day 23 and this month I have no idea what is going on!

Today is CD19. If you recall, i had small amounts of EWCM CD 15 and 16 and the temps went up CD17. DP away last night so i managed to persuade him to SWI twice on CD 17!!
But CD 18 and 19, temps are low again and CM is completely dry - normally if i were to ov on CD 20, 21 or 22 I would have lots of EWCM by now.

I know you'll all say anomalies happen but this is the first time it's happened in the past 3 years and it coincides with SWI! WTF!?
Do you think it could be pschycological can't spell, affected by my mind?
Thing is, nothing has happened recently, all is good. Is my body trying to tell me something?

Sorry to winge and moan but if I hadn't been as regular as clockwork in the past years i wouldn't be so frustrated!

ladyggg looking good!

spilt have a lovely holiday!

battery happy swi-ing!

What's your mucus doing, battery? Don't forget the sperm can live for up to 5 days in fertile quality mucus so you might still catch it. Here's hoping

just popping in quickly before I go off to beautify myself to go and pick up DP - feeling a bit disheartened- no smiley face, if I don't hatch an egg this weekend - we are not seeing each other till the 19th (sigh).

lady - liking the look of your chart - swim little fellas - swim!!

Temps are up, yay! Hope they find the egg, there must be plenty up there . I am knackered, as DP said last night just after achieving the necessary... "This is a young man's game"!

Toni says that mid cycle spotting/bleeding is a sign of ovulation and also a sign that you are super fertile. So it could be ovulation spilt, but I totally understand your need to take a month off. I didn't TTC the first month after my EPRC but I got straight back into it the month after my natural MC - I think it's best to just do what feels best.

battery I hope the smiley face arrives at the same time as your hubbie .

Ga! Posted too soon,

spilt I'm sorry you're having such a rough time of it but definately think you're doing the right thing re work. There's no shame in taking as much time as you need.

Hi ladies, I couldn't agree more with the 'going through the motions' at work comment. I've got so much to catch up on (as the boss keeps pointing out) but I cannot summon the strength to care. It's awful.

Still got stretchy cm so am hoping I'm gearing up to ov but not counting on it so just going to keep DTD until the RTD appears :-)

digi I know what you mean about 'bouncing' back. I feel ok today and most days but then I feel very shakey and very close to tears other days...

split even though you are not trying this month it is good that your body is getting back into a pattern for you :)

I saw my Dr today - I had 15 yes 15 bottles of blood taken and a urine sample sent off. He also sent of a request for a scan of my uterus. After that he will see what the results are before referring me if needs be.I asked about aspirin - but he said to wait until my bloods come back.

In other news - I feel like I have been gearing up to ovulate but then nothing. If I fall back into my normal cycle I should ovulate tomorrow, but had no smiley face today, so will see what happens. I can't make it happen so there is no point in worrying about it. DP comes back tomorrow so I may not be around over the weekend - I may be busy

spilt ((((((((((hugs))))))))) think counselling is a really good idea. I'm going for it, if only because I'm concerned at how quickly I seem to have 'bounced back' from the mc. Am fully expecting to have another meltdown at some point in the future.

FWIW I had mid-cycle spotting with my last WTF cycle. I thought it was ovulation, but it was a little breakthrough bleed just before ovulation. Egg came about 5 days later.

Bleeding seems to be tailing off already. Only a bit of brown spotting today. Will go for a run tomorrow to see if it shifts any more.

Next Friday I'm going to hang out with mums I made friends with during my maternity leave. Two of them have had their second, one of them is about to pop anyday now. I don't want to not see them, because one day I will hopefully have my second and we'll have things in common again...and DS loves playing with other children's toys.

I think it can be Spilt. There are other things it could be so not to be solely relied on - but sounds like you might be cranking up again. Or could just be random hormonal fluctuations on your WTF cycle causing it. How exciting! Watch your temps. Remind me (brain like a goldfish) are you having time off or trying again?
