TCOYF - follow on chart spotters thread

MrsMC big hugs. We missed you but obviously don't wish for anyone to come back I hope you're alright. How is dh? and your job/ house stuff?

Thanks for your kind wishes. I had a really rough cold that's gone now Next week is fertile week but its looking hectic in the evenings

We're off to the fertility specialist hostpital unit next month to start the tests etc. Hoping it works before then but am getting resigned to being patient now.

London Lottie here are some Spanish options ole!

3catsoo how's it going? Ready now I am worried about you too, ok? How is everyone else? Off to chart spot.

After re reading the thread. Natty said that on day 21 if the progesterone is above 14 then it is a sign of Ov having occurred. Hers went upto 66 when on Clomid. So I guess I can safely assume I'm ov'ing.
At least that's happening.

LL when is your day 21 blood test. You mentionned it was later this month?

Hello again.

Well I got my blood test results back today.
The doctor had noted that the progesterone levels were satisfactory. It was 65.3.
Now I need to read back on this thread to the explanation of the figure.

Yes, Cityangel, it is a difficult situaation, both DH and myself. Hopefully we will come to some agreement (and hopefully in my favour ).

That's soo tough 3catsoo. I think its a very difficult situation and I can't imagine how difficult it is. Let us know how you get on?

Hi Cityangel, Funny story about the cheese. I bet your Mum was kicking herself afterwards.

My MIL is a bit of a funny whatsit on the best of days.

DH was already going off the idea of number 4 though. Not that he was ever keen on it but after 18 months of pressure from me he decided to let nature take it's course and stop using condoms. On Saturday he said he won't be doing that anymore.

I will give it another 2-3 weeks and if by the time AF (which hopefully won't arrive) is over he hasn't caved in a bit, I will cancel my appt and let someone who can make more use of it have it .

The idea that this is my last chance ahs made me go out and buy more tests . So tested again today, bfn.
Blood test results are back but the Doctor hasn't looked at them yet so I can't have them. I have to call again tomorrow.

I do feel like AF is on it's way (and I still tested, proving that I have totally lost it!)

Thanks for all of your support in the MIL area.

Oh what a difficult time 3catsoo. I hate it when people are 2 faced like that! I don't have much experience in dh persuasion. Maybe find a way to tell him how you feel once things have settled down a bit maybe he will come round.

Ready you haven't upset me you'd have to go some to do that! Holiday destination we've picked is Miami but we may not go depending on if I get a new job and when I change jobs.

I bought the wrong cheese online so took the blue cheese I didn't want to my Mum's (they like it) she instantly assumed I was pregnant so that was a funny conversation that quickly ended when I drunk wine in front of her

I still need to replace my thermometer battery to start getting more accurate readings... must do that today!

3cats - MIL who'd have em! I must say that I count myself lucky that mine is completely disinterested in our lives! My DH is closer to my mum than to his own. I def think you need to challenge your DH about his about turn on TTC, my tip is always to express how it makes you feel, as calmly as poss, rather than attack MIL or DH - ie his change of heart and actions make you feel undermined by his mother and make you feel like he values to her opinion above yours etc Good luck!

nomoremagnolia Well done for posting your charts I think last months looks pretty perfect actually and I would think you will see a gradual temp drop over the next 1-2 days

Oh 3cats honey, I hope this is your month too. Although, if your DH is so anti another child, will you still go through with the fertility appointment? Or is it the MIL influence that is causing him to change his mind do you think? This really isn't my place to say, but what on earth has it got to do with your MIL how many children you have?? And how poisonous to say one thing to you and then rant at DH... did you tell your DH that she was being 2faced? Bug hugs!! My MIL is a pain too, and always has to stick her beak in, but thankfully my DH never listens to her. And knows what she is like. But then she doesn't know anything about us ttc and I intend to keep it that way.

3catstoo - arggg - Mother-in-laws!!! I have a similar one, that would say one thing to me and another to my dh, and who would he listen too first!!!! . I can normally get dh to understand my views eventually, but it takes huge effort for me to overcome the MIL influence. Hope you get your dream 3cats.

Yes, I can dream Ready, .

I was a bit silly this morning. I found a pg test in my undie drawer last night. I couldn't resist doing it this morning despite being 5 days too early . What a waste! bfn, of course.

DH gave me a jolly good talking to last night and has made it clear that he is using condoms from now on as he really really doesn't want another one. .
He did this after a chat with his mother. I had accidently let it slip to her that I had an appt with the fertility clinic.
She had a bit of a rant to DH yesterday about how we shouldn't have had the 3rd let alone try for a 4th!

I wouldn't mind but that's not what she said to me. She was all for it and quite supportive.
I should know what to expect from her after 12 years. I guess my emotions got in the way.

So please let this be my month.

Sorry, hadn't meant to go on like that.

3cats Sorry but I have no idea about when they can tell a pg from bloods. But I wanted to say that I love the idea of them ringing you and telling you that you are Pg. How wonderful would that be!! Fingers crossed. Roll on Wednesday

Cityangel - I hope I didn't upset you because I am sure that I said that having a holiday would do you the world of good. I hope I haven't added to the annoyance. I'm just fiercely optimistic

Lottie I had to chuckle at your rant. I do agree. My mum irritates me when she says just forget about it, and that I am worrying too much. I know that I do need to relax more, and I intend to try - but that's more for my sanity than because I think that I have prevented conception through worry. I don't want to believe that I am causing the problem. What's this about spontaneous ovulation?? What did I miss, and where?

Rattling - Charting definitely helps me. It makes me feel more in tune with my body, and I think that is a good thing.

Very daft question.....
How early can pg be detected by blood tests?

I had a dream last night that my day 21 blood test revealed that I was pg!

If only it would be true. So it got me thinking about how early blood tests could detect pg anyway.

I have to call the GP on Wednesday for the blood test results. AF is due next Friday (DHs birthday). I have no pg tests left. I thought that maybe by not having any in the house it might bring me better luck. Yep, I'm clutching all the straws I can .

It's been incredibly quiet on here. How is everybody?

It's Friday, at least!
