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

here

Morning- a very quick post whilst I am nearly out of the door. Can I get some advice on my chart? FF says I ov'd on cd15 -but I think it was cd 16 - I had a positive opk on cd16 and lots of ov pain. Also my temp on cd 16 was largely due to wine I think.
I know it doesn't really matter but a day either way is important when you have to book travel around your ov dates!

ta in advance xx

well that sounds ok mouse much less scary than red bleeding. Sorry to hear that sex was painful./... could be a bit of bleeding from cervix then maybe?? Hope you can have lots of nice warm cuddles instead for a while.

Yep, still brown. More like coloured cm than blood. I wouldn't describe it as blood. I keep thinking it might be because dh and I had sex on wed night which was v uncomfortable (made him stop) I felt v sore afterwards. Ugh. Hate the not knowing. xxx

Aww battery the poor puss cat! Hope she's not broken anything. It's good you've got insurance. We're with petplan for our dog and very glad about it too - she cut her paw on a piece of glass last year and needed a general anaethetic - would have cost over £400 had we not been insured . It seems like a lot of money each month to pay, but the peace of mind is worth it.

Hope she gets better soon. It may just be a muscle sprain. They can take a good few weeks to heal.

We put our tree up today too (but not a real one!) Got new lights this year which are lovely and sparkly.

re your SWI in the time it takes cabbage to boil Why not?! Can't hurt!

this month we are going to try and carry on SWI till I see the temp shift confirmed. I think last month we just did it until the OPK went negative, and wonder now if we stopped too early.

Monday again tomorrow Work again Ah well, birthday this week!

getdown we think she jumped down off something and has done something to her back leg - she is no better after a week so she is in for xrays tomorrow. So glad she is insured. I can not bear it when she is ill, she is such a lovely cuddly cat, it's horrible to see her in pain.

We put up our tree today - it is a real one:) - I have never had a real one before. it is seriously huge and takes up most of the room - but I love it :)

I have to confess that just in case I got my ov dates wrong - myself and dp had a quick SWI this afternoon. I pit the roasties in the oven, turned on the cabbage to boil and nipped upstairs . But needs must- romance is pushed aside when you don't live together but are trying to concieve!

mouse 3pm tomorow I will give you a special little thought xx

I second you Terrys - will be thinking of you at 3pm tomorrow mouse. Was the spotting brown?

Hope everything is ok. It's good you still have strong symptoms.

mouse hugs to you and I will be thinking of you at 3pm tomorrow with fingers and toes crossed. Let us know how it goes. xxx

Hi ladies. Only 1 episode of spotting today - first thing this morning when I went to the loo. Still feel pg. Sore boobs and feeling sick. Safe to say I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

Sorry not to name check ( feel the same about cramps nix !) thank you all so, so much for the kind words and hugs. 3pm tomorrow I'll know either way. Fingers firmly crossed please xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

IfatFirst and Nix, I feel fine although DH is making a Quail pie and the smell of the stock is making me feel a bit icky. Apparently, actual nausea during pregnancy is not that common but very common to feel nauseous.

Battery I hope your cat gets better soon. I hope your SWI-ing has done the trick!

GetDown at least if its your birthday you can demand it short and sweet!!

MrsA I don't really know how to tell if you are low in progesterone, sorry! I hope the acupuncture works this month though!

I put my tree up yesterday MrsP it really makes it feel like Christmas is coming.

Izzy if you OV in 2.5 days can you please ask your acupuncturist to give me next weeks Lotto numbers too .

NYD glad to hear your pregnancy is progressing well. Enjoy the rest of it and a beautiful baby to come!

spilt I just realised that we are almost coming to the end of the thread and you are PG as predicted as the thread starter.

Hello fedup and LadyG!

IF dont fret lovely :) I puked precisely twice during 2 pgs. Nausea yes but vomming nope! (only when i choked on a supplement all times!!) Some women just dont get any! Good though that your sense of smell has kicked in

I,

FELT

EARLIER

I have to say for me its linked to blood sugar, and i just eat my way through it hence i am a right fat cow...soon to be fatter (hopefully!)

battery hope the pussy (cat!) is better soon, and i hope the dancing helped those swimmers along, and for you Izz!

Hi batteryturkey sorry to hear about your poorly puddy-cat what are the x-rays for? Hope he / she is ok.... we have a much loved dog and I hate it when she is ill / injured. She has big doleful brown eyes and looks particularly sad when ill!

Your chart looks good, not sure what you mean about false reading on CD15? Looks ok to me? Or do you mean CD16? Anyway the OPK and EWCM all seem to tie in nicely, so looks like you've got your timing perfect! Just a waiting game now.

Hi there MrsP hope you have fun between Christmas and new year! I will possibly be testing during that time - eeekk!

IfatFirst take things easy! Glad to hear that you've got some symptoms.

Evening ladies, it's good to hear that all i going well newyears! Well, after panicking yesterday that I didnt have many symptoms (I stupidly googled lack of morning sickness) I am completley flattened today! I had a nice relaxing morning, had quite an appetite so ate several pieces of toast, then decided to make my Christmas cake. I found, mid-way through making it, that I'd picked up the wrong type of spice mix, so had to gear myself up for a trip round the shops. Luckily, they had some in our local co-op, which smelt a though something had died in there and I felt that I was either going to vom or pass out WOOHOO! So, I've spent most of the afternoon in the kitchen, baking and then cooking tea, and now feel dreadful. It just goes to show, what a bit of an energetic afternoon can actually do. I'm now going to have a relaxing evening on the sofa with DH, a cup of decaf and Elf on the TV,then an early night! :)

Hi everyone, hope you?ve had lovely weekends. My Christmas tree is now up and twinkling ? the cat is very curious about the whole thing and no doubt some baubles will be off the tree very soon.

Just worked out that I am due to ov sometime between Christmas and new year, so guess what we?ll be doing with our days off work?!

Hope your cold gets better soon Ladybee.

Good luck and have fun with your SWI IzzyWizzy!

getdown I?d agree with what spilt says about the CM. Fingers crossed for an egg soon.

Hello everyone. How are you all? - good weekends all round I hope. Sorry for my lack of posts and name checks - it has been manic around here - what with a poorly cat (xrays tomorrow) picking up dp for the weekend and SWI - I don't know if I am coming or going

I am so pleased with the BFPs' on here, - just a quick hello and hug to mouse and slpit. xxx I love nixs dancing - you go girl! terrys I am so pleased for you too x, and a big wave to ladyg too - how many weeks are you now?
Hello to new people on the thread too, it seems a lucky place to be so welcome :)

To my fellow SWIers mrsa & and getdown - I too have posted my chart - think Ov was day 16.. I am annoyed at my false reading on cd15 - bloody wine :( [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/here
hope I have got the timings right!]]

izzy I am really impressed with your accupucturist and her knowledge of charting. I am not convinced with mine at the moment - I might have to look about. I think she is good but don't really think she focus's on fertility - more of strenghtening the body as a whole I think.

I hope i haven't missed anyone - but if I have big wave to you xxx

PS - lovely that newyears pops in to keep an eye on us :)

thanks izzy and spilt If I ov in 5 days, I will ov on my birthday!! (16th) Not sure if DTD on my birthday will be a treat or a chore Hmmm. Think a birthday treat would be more like a nice meal out followed by undisturbed sleep. But hey! We'll see!

I didn't know that spilt about older CM mixing with newer EWCM, hence creamy stretchy stuff!! Very interesting, thanks! Maybe that's what's happening.

I also seem to be rubbish at working out what my cervix actually feels like. One bit feels firm and another mushy, and I kind of decide it's closed, and then think "err, no it's open" So it's confusion all round !!

Izzy I suspect you are right that the acupunturist meant 2-5 days... 2.5 days would be spookily precise! Hope you get that egg soon. Maybe we will be in the 2ww together!

I think FF draws dashed crosshairs when it doesn't have all the fertility signs data, i.e. only temps and not CM data. But could be wrong.

at nix's DS transfixed by Chitty chitty bang bang! My DD is currently transfixed with Octonauts strange child!

Hello all.... :)

Chitty chitty bang bang + DS = TRANSFIXED!

Getdown - I have no idea about the creamy/clear cm, but the chart's looking good!

Izzy's chart just looks a bit strange

I sent a copy to my acupuncturist yesterday and she replied saying she thought I would ov in about 2.5 days - surely that must be a typo for 2-5 days?! I know she's good but surely no one can be that accurate just from looking at a chart?

newyearsday I'm new here so didn't get to "meet" you before your bfp, but it's lovely to hear about a successful pg - will keep my fx that it continues to be uneventful for you. Good luck with the scan!

mrsA tbh my temps never go that high either, so I'm hoping yours are ok! I noticed ff had only drawn dashed crosshairs though, and did wonder if it had got the ov date exactly right?

terrys ff has bern working ok for me today, hope you've managed to sort it out?

Hi there all.

hi newyearsday glad to hear all is going well for you. It's lovely you are checking in on us! Charting is obviously the way forward to that BFP!!

Hi there Spilt I think I got some EWCM today but it was creamy not clear so I'm not sure. Anyway I've put it on my chart as EWCM. Also got a slightly stronger line on the OPK today than yesterday, so maybe my body is gearing up? Hope so!

GetDown's chart is getting slightly more interesting

Just dropping in to say hi and WOW I can't believe how many of you have got BFPs recently - congratulations! So lovely.

Maybe someone should start an ex-charters AN thread?

Split I had tears in my eyes at your news after everything you've been through xx

Mouse I'll be thinking about you tomorrow xx

Hello and good luck to all the new joiners. I got my bfp on the volume 2 board, but keep checking back in to see how everyone is getting on.

My 20wk scan is a week tomorrow. I've been feeling great and the bump is definitely growing but the wobbles have set in and I'm counting down the days now. Tho can't wish the time away too quick cos I've got stacks to do getting ready for Xmas!

Morning

Anyone elses FF not working today - it keeps just saying "Session Halted* everytime I try to get to the charts?
