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

I have to say there are some seriously good stalking skills going on :)

Welcome all new people

Just want to give big hugs to mouse - I have thought of you lots today.

I have had my scan. Sonographer says I have a 'lovely thin smooth lining, good ovaries with follicles at various stages'. Of course I jumped all over the 'thin' bit but she said everyone is different and it is nothing to worry about. So for now I can breath out and relax for a few weeks until I get all mainc about OV and 2ww again.

Hope everyone has had a good day xx

Ooh MrsA your cross-hairs are in!

Thanks for looking angster I decided to take temps vaginally in the end, I always seem to breathe through my mouth at night, so seemed all over the place. Seem to have stabilised a bit, though curious to see if they will continue to go up! (A little worried I may combust)...

Hi weimy sounds like you had a fun morning!

Welcome kateepie !

Thanks for the support ladies!

I have just taken my two year old niece home after minding for her for the morning and she has learnt to sniff, wagg her bottom and fetch. DS is going to be so cross with me, I did try to stop her but painting wasn't it seems as much fun!

FX crossed for those about to ov and poas.

:)

strawberry - it's so depressing isn't it. i can't believe i'm about to go in to the 8month since m/c and still nothing. Anyway, i have my fx for you anyway.

Izzy that is tragic you lost dc3 at that stage. Poor you. It sounds like your DC1 was conceived on a miracle cycle though, that's extraordinary you can conceive 4 days before AF!. Anyway, i'm booked in for some acupuncure on Tuesday next week.

hi kateepie - just had a quick look at yours. they are going up a lot so that's good I guess! Are they suppose to be more level than rocky? Mine are rocky too at 10dpo but that could be because i take my temps at different times. I am on AF symptom spotting at the moment...basically all your symptoms apart from peeing and cm! Fx for you.

Can I join please? I recognise some of you from other threads :)

I'm 3dpo and already symptom spotting like a loon (no hope for me)... fed up of the 2ww already. So far, madly emotional on 2dpo, and today, tired, headachy, peeing a lot, and slight bloody cm, oh and 'suspicious boobs'

I just started charting this month and temps a bit rocky so far, but seem to be evening out, chart here

Reality checks welcome!

yes, had routine mw appt at 16+2 - no heartbeat. Scan the next day confirmed baby had died at about 14 wks. Would have been 17 weeks exactly on the day I had my erpc . That was after two completely boring healthy pgs, and three great scans this time round - the last at 13+1. So tbh I had really taken it for granted that all would go smoothly. Won't be so blasé next time!!

Anyway glad your charts looking good - fx for some good news for you this month!

Thinking of you today mouse

izzy didn't realise you lost dc3 at 16/17 weeks .

strawberry FF had me at 11dpo before it eventually moved the crosshairs to cd23, and I was back to 3dpo. However, based on my temps and cm I still believe I'm 1-2 adys behind it's dpo...but yes, it's very depressing to be going backwards in the 2ww, even though you know in your heart the real date you ovulated.

My chart is looking like a very healthy LP for the first time in ages [preen]. And so begins the 'not trying to get my hopes up phase' where I brace myself for all those down temps. Had weird dream this morning that my ovaries had swollen so much that I could literally see them bulging through like someone had shoved a couple of pebbles under my skin. Bit creeped out. Clearly, am spending far too much time thinking about ttc when I'm visualising my reproductive organs expanding to medical freak proportions.

Ps mouse have posted on ttc after mc, but am thinking of you today xx

angster I am the queen of the unpredictable luteal phase!! Ds was conceived 4 days before my last af, on day 24ish of a 28 day cycle. Af came and went as usual, assumed I wasn't pg, then the next af was much lighter than usual so poas'd then and got my bfp. Only worked out the dates after an early scan when I thought I was 6.5 weeks and turned out to be 9 weeks!! So it can happen but I guess that must be pretty rare. Then DD and DC3 were conceived exactly middle of the month, textbook style, and I assumed all was well but after losing DC3 at 16/17 weeks my cycles are all a bit bizarre again

mouse thinking of you today and hoping and praying the ERPC goes smoother than last time and you don't get poorly afterwards. So sorry it's happening to you again xx

Iwish not sure if you've found them but there is a thread called TTC or Pregnant with an underactive Thyroid which is full of knowledgable people on the subject.

Fab news that you've got another BFP

Hi angster, before the mc they'd been a bit erratic since coming off the pill, took about two months to return followed by cycles of 26, 28, 28, 23, 28, 34, 33. At the moment it just feels like it's so hard to manage something that some people find so simple.

Oh and chart here

Hi Strawberry - how long are your cycles normally? So sorry about your m/c. I know exactly how you feel, there is always a glimmer of hope though every cycle and it's miserable when it doesn't pan out but this is the perfec place to moan and cry.

morning. Another +ve test iwish yay!! Big congratulations - enjoy your pregnancy. Mine blew my mind, was amazing.

So ff hasn't given me cross hairs yet, but will do if I change to 'research' setting. I'm convinced i ov cd 25, so i'm leaving it at that. Temps nice and high today, so now we wait.......

Thanks for all the welcomes.

Izzy - thanks for the info on acupuncture. I'm in London unfortunately but I saw a recommendation by someone else on MM so I may investigate that. I saw on another forum you have kids - did you have a short LP then as well??

weimy - I'm not surprised you're upset...why do people say things like that even as a joke?? Anyway would love dogs myself, just need a garden!

Hi essence, looks like a busy thread doesn't it!!

terrys my WTF cycle was also anovulatory even though a scan a few days before showed i was just about to ovulate but temps never went up.

Grrr My temp has dropped again today - 10DPO & strange fluttering sensations in stomach, so I guess AF will be here in anytime soon. I find it so weird that 7 months on from my m/c, I 'm still not back to my clockwork periods. Considering going to the GP!!!

Hi all

My chart has really disappointed me today...

As digi (fx for a temp rise for you this weekend) and MrsA suspected all along, FF's moved my ov date today from cd18 to cd20. Even though I was expecting it I'm feeling really fed up, the 2ww's hard enough without doing two whole days of it over again! My temps are on a slow slide and I'm miserable. Even though I didn't expect to get pg immediately after my mc, I still feel cheated that I've finally pinpointed ov dates to make things more accurate but still it isn't feeling positive this month. Sorry for the moan, please feel free to ignore this, it just makes me feel a bit better to get it out...

iwish when are you planning more poas action?

mrsden chart's looking good there... fx for you!

karbea here's hoping for a nice temp rise to confirm your ov

harder I feel for you, one of my big fears was not ov-ing but I'm sure that the bug will have something to do with it, that one takes a real toll on the body so hopefully that's the reason

weimy that's so insensitive of someone to say to you, joke or not. I'm sure you'll be a fantastic mum xx

battery good luck for the scan today, hope your lining's looking lovely x

ifatfirst congrats on the first temp reading!

level don't worry about feeling upset by af arrival even though you knew, it happens to all of us. You should definitely count cd1 as the first day of full flow, not spotting

Waves to MrsP, essence, terrys, angster, nickster, spilt, jaggy and anyone else I've missed.

Getting 2ww anxiety :) Hurry up next week!

Have made it worse by messing with the overlay on my homepage. I changed it to ov day + coverline mode. The last few data poits on it now exactly match the chart from when I was pg with DS. Not that it means anything at all, just looks funny!

chart

(as usual I should be working)

Here you are, i found you!

Thank you all for the welcomes!

Congratulations iwish, a line is a line . Will you test again? Did you have a feeling that it would be positive?

Weimy take no notice of those people. Some people can say nasty and insensitive things without thinking.

I am fed up of people telling me how easy they found it to get pregnant, or how super fertile they are, or how they got pregnant by accident or without even trying. Noone in RL knows I am ttc so I know they are not meaning to be insensitive.

MrsP81 I think we have probably been passengers on the same bus. I have been on the buses since the June one but no luck yet. I am hoping that this thread will be luckier for me!

My temp is the same as yesterday so I'm pleased it isn't sliding yet. I'm 9dpo. my chart

battery glad to hear you're feeling ok about af. Acupuncture does wonders. Haven't shelled out for the cbfm as I fear it's another thing to get me stressed, and I'm sure it's not designed for women with cycles longer than 35 days.

weimy sorry af got you too. And sorry to hear you're getting horrible insensitive comments at work.

Welcome to essence and angster. Sorry to hear of your mc angster, there are quite a few of us on here charting post-mc.

level sorry af got you too. I count first day of red bleeding as cd1. Also some people are just more sensitive on one side than the other. Doesn't mean you're only ovulating on one side, just that's the only side you can feel anything happen.

terrys my WTF cycle was anovulatory and the cycle after that was really short with a short luteal phase (and low temps for post ov). This cycle is much more like my usual.

Waves to everyone I've missed.

I reckon I'm about 4/5dpo, but ff thinks I'm 6dpo which is a bit more exciting. Not feeling anything other than the usual progesterone-y cramps. Am hoping something interesting will happen this weekend with my temps. I searched on ff for charts with my ov date and swi pattern - there was a reassuring number of pregnancies. However, still have to remember it can't be more than a 25% chance.

harder if possible it would be good to start charting asap. You'll br able to compare what your luteal phase temperatures are with your follicular phase - so you'll know how high they have to go to confirm you've ovulated.
