Charters Anonymous Volume 6. Charting and shagging our way to victory!

Oh and no testing weimy hold out to day 12 at least, I'll give you chocolate

Oh weimy :( I know it is awfully depressing but I find that being on here helps as has given me a reality I.e not EVERYONE gets pregnant just because they want to which makes me feel better iyswim. Is it usual for your cycle to vary so much? Does your LP vary? Am just being nosey!

jaggy I ve been quiet as have loads of work at the moment and am struggling to stay on top of it and not be buried under it!! Plus point is 4 dpo and haven't had time to obsess so i maybe less mental this month

satsuma looks like only time will tell with your chart but 12dpo could be implantation dip

still more brown, looks like AF is coming early. oooh why is this so difficult?

Why is everyone I know just falling on a penis and getting pregnant?

Hi all, not much to report here as I haven't been temping - sleeping is too messed up and it'll be even more messed up when I get home and jet-lag sets in so I declare it a non-charting month for me.

Definitely don't test yet weimy

I've managed one month out of 5 with no POAS, it was the most relaxed one so def being sensible this month again!

I'm with jaggy, don't test yet weimy! You know it's better to wait until AF due date. Ha, I love how we are all so sensible when it isn't us

lol thanks jaggy!

I think I am pretty sure of a BFN this month cos of the brown stuff but I will hold out

noo weimy don't POAS! if it's negative it might be too early, then you'll just need to pee again in a couple of days.

I'm sticking to that plan this month again so trying to convince you too, looking at BFNs is too depressing

karbea a tiny bit when I wiped (eugh tmi). Very tender boobs and cramps. I might poas tomorrow to get it out the way with grr. You are right once you know she is on her way you just want to get cracking again!

Aww weimy I feel your pain, i'm 8dpo. Are you still spotting? I have had no signs this time, so expecting AF or a BFN, I just wish If AF was coming she just would and then we can try again frustrating!

10dpo, sigh 2ww is so hard!!!!

Dull Sunday here too, slightly hung over, so having a very lazy day! :) Nowt to report either, CD8 so nothing interesting happening

oops molly !

more spotting meh!!!

Am resigned to AF rearing her ugly head soon!!!

Yup, my Sunday's being pretty dull too. For no apparent reason (other than a mild cold), am bone-achingly shattered. Have collapsed onto the sofa with a book, but it's an effort to stay awake. DP just suggested I go for a run to wake myself up

I actually did go for a run yesterday, and a little 2-year-old boy came from nowhere and ran straight between my legs, bringing us both crashing to the ground! I felt TERRIBLE - poor little thing

No exciting Sunday here either! Just about to clean the house... and am getting ever more confused and fed up about my chart. I don't even have anything to blame the irregular temps on - did nearly all at the same time, not much sleep deprivation etc etc. Bah!

exciting sunday pffff! Hoovered top to bottom, steam mopped, dusted, tidied, prepared veg for tea, did get a lie in and breakfast in bed though

Rubbish sleep - waking every 1-2 hours so although temp is up I dont think much of the chart is accurate. Was roasting hot at 6 am but temp was low, slept on and off and took several temps and chose the best one for my chart

It's awfy quiet on here today! you must all be having more exciting Sundays than me

3dpo and nothing to report. got my real crosshairs now and actually managed to do my temp at nearly the right time with DS sleeping ok.

well until 6am when i heard a crash and a wail. had visions of him escaping but i think he'd just rolled over and bashed his head on the cot. i leapt out of bed to protect my pfb anyway.

It is all very promising isn't it being higher than usual and spotting so early even if 27 day cycle. It's a work of art, even dh laughed at mine and he doesn't even know what it means! It's not over yet!

Bossy I usually get brown stuff shortly before af, cycles are between 27/29 days I'm cd22.

It is a very neat chart isn't it! I have been secretly getting my hopes up because my temps have been higher than usual :(

Are all your cycles the same length? Do you normally get spotting before af? Sorry for all the questions. It's still early on isn't it. Its common to get a dip while spotting and of course we all know what it could mean but I'm not saying it, FX. As a full time spotting spotter I total recommend trying to forget all about it as it can be very intermittent and so you get your hopes up when it seems it's stopped only to start again the next day. Then I find I lead myself to believe I am needing the loo a lot when really I'm just going for a look! Is it possible to relax and forget about it?? Probably not but it's not over yet - see what happens to your temp tomorrow, it's a very neat chart

:( spotting (brown)& cramps, had this on the same day two cycles ago. with myself.

molly i would say ov'd 16

scrummy i think i will apply just incase

bah! 2 weeks thats crapola auntied

MrsS ooh fx (still looking good!)

bossy how frustrating for you grr fx for test results.

jaggy 2dpo yay!!

OH has gone sky diving so am chillin on the couch with the pack. had a few last night so am tired, and sore from a rather exciting riding lesson. Temp has dipped a little but have had little sleep and took temp an hr later than usual so fx thats all it is .

Thanks for that scrummy will have a look Today decided I have low thyroid function...roll on next week for my results when I can actually find out what is happening. Its only my 2nd month of charting and cycles prior to it were 25-26 days long (but have been 28 days and 29-32 days, seem to have a few months of each) so ewcm on cd10 seemed 'normal' as seemed to ov cd11 last month. Would be nice to see a normal chart even if bfn but just no pattern emerging at the mo, and now traffic light is green again, dear me I am going to be busy again!

It's sunny but a bit chilly but had thought about getting outside and doing some gardening but think I must have been lying in an awkward position as sore neck and shoulder today so will give that a miss for now. Enjoying a nice

morning all.
wow weimy your chart looks great!
Mine doesn't seem to ever show a big rise post ov. I've had my progesterone tested and apparently it's fine but I'm wondering if it's actually a bit low. Anyway, my chart is here www.fertilityfriend.com/home/level

Hi bossy maybe the stress is impacting your ovulation. Can't remember how regular you normally are, but maybe you tried to ovulate earlier and the stress put it back and now you're trying again. I know about the sleep thing. I suffer from broken sleep when I get stressed. I started using Dr Bach rescue remedy, there's one especially for sleeping. I found that helped
