Charter's Anonymous: Volume 5, those BFPs are ours!!

So, question. How invisible can an invisible line be? I caved this morning, and I wouldn't say there was a line, but there wasn't NOT a line either? (if that makes sense) There was no colour to it whatsoever, and I am still not convinced that I haven't just imagined it.....

Morning! Sorry ERTD got you essence.

Line steadily getting stronger, so keeping fingers crossed for this week, still feels sooo early!

I shall be chart stalking!

Sorry essence cd2 is always a better day. Take care x

Well, as feared, CD1 for me :(
Either I did a v good job of imagining symptoms or my body was being particularly cruel!
Hope everyone else is ok

Well I hope she stays away. You just never know!

There's a flaw in my chart list plan as you'd have to retype the list each time with all the links. I'm wondering if there's a better way. Will have to have a think.

ochaye - I've just seen and it works well :)

Tbh I can't see how AF will stay away with the temp drop I had this morning. On the other hand, I've been having feelings of lack of appetite / nausea again today. I found myself eating Hovis crackers this afternoon to help.

I keep telling myself it is my body playing cruel tricks as my temp was practically on my coverline. I guess I'll wait for tomorrow's temp and to see if AF comes.

Thanks for the charts thread essence. I hope af stays well away!!

I've made a suggestion on the thread ... but if it's rubbish, please feel free to ignore!

Here for the charts thread

Mine's not looking so great at the moment so hope to see some more positive ones there soon!

katee - Glad your lines are getting stronger! The rollercoaster just continues even after the BFP doesn't it! Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

ochaye - good luck with the SWI

If it's ok, I'll have a go at starting a thread for chart links. I'll then post a link here to let you know!

Hello ladies,

I had a mild coronary yesterday as second HPT seemed to be a BFN, however it did come up with a faint line (DP thought I was seeing things and was worried).

Pleased to report that there is a definite line today, did two different brands and though still thin, its there. Still feeling pukey too, which has been an effort to hide from the in laws (though they may have put 2+2 together from my sudden liking for chamomile tea and lack of drinking).

Not looking forward to work next week, there's still a possibility that AF may show up tues/thurs, so won't feel happy til at least friday... will be peeing on sticks daily!

How has your weekend been folks? :) happy swi-ing!

raven - great idea about having a list ... and I agree essence, if we put it in another thread it'll work. I'm just never sure if I'm missing someone!

Good luck to anyone who's considering testing. We've started SWI again. Way ahead of ov time but I prefer to just go for it the whole way through .

essence, I found out today that an old work friend is 17 weeks pregnant. I'm delighted for her but gutted all the same. I think it's normal x

Thanks mouse. Feeling sorry for myself and not helped by the fact we're on our way to a party where the hosts have just announced they're 12wks pg and another friend will have her 10 day old DS2 there. I hate these jealousy / wallowing feelings and need to snap out of it!!

Raven - I agree a list of charts would be good for stalking!
When I was on the temping thread when ttc DS, we set up a 2nd thread which didn't have chat, just links to charts and then all clicked on "watch" so that we could see it easily in "Threads I'm Watching". That solves the c&p issue. What do you think?

Sorry essence and karbea it's gutting when you've dared to hope I know.

Good luck tory - fingers crossed for you.

at raven HTK and newgold

Morning!

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a list of chart stalkees? So when people get to 10DPO or so they can add their chart to it and then remove it if they get to CD1 or graduate? Links don't C&P though so would need to add the square brackets each time... Might not work, I know being list free is good sometimes!

tory, your chart is looking fantastic!

Newgold, I'm not sure whether it is a problem. I also have very light periods and am worrying about it. I think it probably isn't a problem though, just something else to worry about.

CD11 - [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3161d7
my chart]]. Not much happening although a weird temp rise this morning - I did have a last night though.

I have just noticed that in fact it is NOT the highest temp I have recorded, just the highest temp for 12dpo, and in fact the more I stare at my chart overlay, the more it is clear that this month is following the exact same pattern as previus months! So I shall go back to waiting the arival of af.

As you were!

Morning!

tory79 - FX, your chart is looking excellent!!

MY AF is getting light so think it will finish today, maiking it 3 days on a 22 day cycle, please anyone do you think this is anything to worry about or normal, Im half convinving myself its not and dont want to go to the Doctor.

I had a massive temp rise today. It normally does rise a little bit on 12dpo, but this is the highest temp I have recorded so far apart from when I was ill.

hurry up tomorrow morning

A drop in temp to 36.55 and marginally above my coverline :(
Karbea - I'm like you, expecting AF now today or tomorrow.

mb this is the first month charting so I don't really know, but cycle normally 24/25 days, so I'm due on tmr. I guess I would have got a pos today if I was. :(

Forgot to say looks good to me karbea good luck! How long is your lp normally? x

essence I think if your temp is up in the morn you should poas.

On the pox front you tend to find multiple spots appear on the tummy and/or back in quick succession then spread. There's nothing much you can do really except manage his temperature and keep an eye they don't spread to his mouth/ throat.

digi I like your thinking about this thread. Hope you're ok. I know every morning must be terrifying so after tomorrow you need to get rid of the thermometer PLEASE! I really hope this is it for you - maybe it'll be quads and you'll be on the news...

hugs for mrsa it's totally shit isn't it? Pub lunch with wine tomorrow?

battery another old pro maybe we should start looking for commision from toni herself?

xx

Hello everyone! I'm struggling to keep up as work has taken over a bit this week so sorry if I miss mentioning anyone!

Newgold - glad you went out in the end and enjoyed it.
I agree MN - and particularly this thread - is great for support.

Digi - please don't worry about lack of symptoms. Every pg is different and your chart definitely looks triphasic.

MrsA - :( and

As for me, my chart is here
All my nausea symptoms have gone although my appetite isn't as huge as it normally is and I have got a bit of cramping. Still v light brown spotting so I really don't know and trying to be realistic about slim chance of BFP. I'm actually due on Monday so won't test again until then.

Also I'm a bit concerned DS may have chicken pox. He's had a cough and slight temperature all week and then one suspiscious looking spot this evening. I hope I'm wrong!

battery that's great that you won't need to time flights with ovulation come June. But hopefully you'll be pg by then so can put your feet up and let DP run around after you.

mouse & ifat I felt like that, lots of newbies coming and going. But what's really interesting is that most newbies have been ttc for some time before they start charting, then within a few cycles of charting the get lucky.

mrsa haven't stalked your chart but assuming cd1? If so v v sorry that your body has been messing you about.

I have no symptoms. Nada. So have continued to chart my temp in case this turns into a cp. I have a 15 day luteal phase and am actually due my period on Monday - which I will expect if I get a massive temp drop tomorrow at 15dpo (although ff thinks it will be 17dpo). Chart here if anyone cares to gawp. If it does stay up then I will definitely hide the thermometer. Have done 4 tests in a row except today as too scared to see it get fainter. By that logic I should really not temp, but I'm now programmed to wake up around 6am. Can't get back to sleep because I'm wondering what my temp will be and whether I should do another test with that first wee of the day. Mentalling.

ochaye since I came off the pill in the summer my cycles have varied between 24 and 30 days. I ov'd early this month as well though, 6 days earlier than last month, so this whole cycle is feeling a bit weird!
