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

mrsd your temps are looking fab. You may release hcg slowly hence te bfn. Crossing fingers you get a bfp in next few days.

I'm a complete novice but could it possibly be tcoyf's triphasic temps...?
On another note, have just signed up for ff - how do I link to my chart on here?

mrsd I can't make dead nor tail of it How many days late are you? Is it worth going to the drs?

I've got no idea what's going on with me. Still no AF and temp still high. BFN again this morning and now FF has punished me and taken away my crosshairs so it looks like I didn't ovulate but I thought I ovulated on CD20

yay for temp rise auntieD !

I am pretty sure that I ov'd yesterday big temp rise this morning, so just waiting For crosshairs.

Swi yesterday and the day before should I bother this afternoon?

Truffkin - congratulations! This is becoming a bit of a BFP-tastic thread, lets hope the good luck continues!

Yay indeed. Although, I am not getting my hopes up yet. Took my temp about 2 1/2 hours later than usual as I needed to sleep more!

I am definitely on a wait-and-see.

auntieD - yey for that rise this morning!!

truffkin - many many congrats - everyone deserves it but I do especially love reading about people like yourself who have been ttc for a longer time!

Im on CD12 and would normally have ov by now - but no sign - no temp rise, no EWCM and no positive opk, so its going to be a bit frustrating. On the plus side DH has had food poisoning and we havent managed my swi every 2 days plan, so all is not lost!

Fingers crossed for every else whos testing/waiting to test xx

Its my DSs 18th birthday tomorrow so Im off to bake a cake!!!

Well I am praying for a temp rise tomorrow otherwise I suspect I am out.

Here's the offending chart

fx Vintage & Mrsdens

I'm going to hold out until Sunday I think. It's tempting to poas tomorrow though...

Woo hoo truffkin! :D

AF due Sunday for me. Temp up slightly today but I also didn't get much sleep in the hours before I took it so not relying on it. my chart

TMI alert - I have a lot of white sticky CM. I do normally get CM before AF but watery not white. Any ideas?

hurrah! truff

thats fantastic news, so amazing for you after all this time and it being your first!

congratulations Truffkin!

what an exciting week on here so far. :)

looking forward to a few glasses of with a v nice meal tonight, really preparing well for SWI week.

well i am aiming for relaxing...

Thanks MrsA yes this is our first and we've been trying for almost a year and a half (charting for 7 cycles) so it feels a little unreal to be honest. On the way to work I was randomly grinning to myself so if any London commuters were frightened by some smiling loony, I apologise

Based on my LMP due date is 19th November, based on ovulation it's 17th as I ovulated early this month (go figure!) I might leave it to sink in for a while before heading over to antenatal, it feels a bit of a big step!

Ha ha I know! I felt nauseous all afternoon and when I got home I really wanted to do a test. I thought the line was too faint to trust, so did another Boots one (darker) and CB digital this morning! My DH came into the bedroom after his shower and was getting all excited asking if I was going to have a wee!

Really hope there are more BFPs to come this month. Fingers crossed ladies!

truffkin congratulations!! What a great start to the weekend I love that you caved in and tested.

Morning ladies! Erm, I may have news. Faint line on Boots own last night, 'pregnant 1-2' on CBDigi this morning! Oh. Em. Gee.

temps back up little bit this morning www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3 :) Have felt absolutely exhausted today, but have has a very stressful day at work and have also been out running. Could quite happily go to be now. I've had a blinding headache a well, but that's also probably work related. I'm starting to feel a bit hormornal too, was at the docs today and the nurse was so lovely I almost burst in to tears several times but I've also been losing my temper really easily too! Have been boob prodding,but nowt to report there!

Hello mrssatsuma I probably can't help you much because I find it hard to track my CM but I wanted to say welcome! We need more people on this thread to replace our lovely people when they get BFPs and move on to the antenatal threads

Are you tracking your temps using fertilityfriend.com? Here is my chart www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrsden I only have the basic membership and that's free. I think it makes it much easier to see the rise when it's on a graph and FF will put in the crosshairs when it detects you have ovulated.

It is possible that your high temp was as a result of getting up. You really need 3 hours of continuous sleep to get the lowest temp. You can only be sure you have ovulated after getting 3 rises in a row. That's why I like FF because it works it out for me.

If you have more ewcm on a morning, is it possible you are confusing it with the byproducts of SWI iykwim, assuming you SI on a night? I can't tell the difference which is one of the reasons I don't bother to track it. Other ladies on here are experts in CM so I'm sure they can offer better advice.

hello satsuma! TCOYF is fab isnt it! I wish I had read it sooner and started temping sooner.

Ive found with cm sometimes you just have to get in and have a good feel about. Sometimes you can miss it as it can get mixed with semen. Its likely to flow out of the body when you ahem go to the loo so could easily get missed. Some women only get ewcm for a day some may get it several days but due to reasons just mentioned you may think you get very little or none when in actual fact you do. The last day of ewcm is the most fertile day, I guess once you chart tomorrow you will get a better idea of whether you have ovulated but I would be dtd tonight IMO anyway being an expert and all that

Had internal and external scan and apparently all looks normal. Lots of mothers with newborn babies in the waiting room just to add salt to the wounds!

Hello everyone... hope you don't mind me jumping in but I need some advice from you charting experts! Have just read TCOYF and wish I'd read it earlier - thought I knew how to chart but have been getting it wrong! So first month doing it properly and need some help!

I don't seem to get much CM as a rule, until Tue eve when I got what I thought was EWCM (stretched - which it never usually does!). Significant temp rise this morning to 36.55 (previous high 36.15) but I'm now confused as had more EWCM this morning and now not sure if the rise was due to waking up briefly to go to the loo 2hrs before I took temp! I seem to get way more CM in the mornings (except for Tue eve!) - is this normal? Can anyone help me to interpret this please before I drive myself mad?!
