Chart Spotters Unite!!

I am really having a wee break... but I just wanted to pop back, I had to dash earlier, but wanted to say more.

I just am at the end of my tether really. But I hope to be back to my normal chipper, ever-so-slightly annoying positive self very soon.

City - sweets, I will miss you lots too. cat me anytime, and if we end up in the capital, I'll hunt you down for that cocktail you promised.

3cats - I hope that you get that thyroid sorted, and your gp takes you seriously, and by the time I return, your DH will be 100% convinced another baby is what you need

Thanks so much for your support over the last several months. I won't be gone for too long. x

Big Hugs Ready.
We will miss you and hope you get success soon.

Oh Ready big hugs. I understand but will desperately miss you xxx

I will be thinking about you all the time and will leave messages out just in case

Good luck! I hope you get some answers from the doc and dh is sorted for the season.

Good luck ladies... I am having a little break for a while, it's all getting too much

Thanks 3catsoo getting tough now but I'm trying to hang in there. It's funny (but not) when something you think is the inevitable for many years becomes the unlikely/ impossible.

Was really hopeful this month Next stop hospital again for the 'just wait some more NHS diagnosis'

How is everyone else doing?

Hello all.

Sorry about BFN City.

MrsMc, I have read lots of the book now. I have started to cut things out of my diet for the detox and also I am trying to eat more alkaline foods.
This new regime has not been helped by the ulcer on the end of my tongue. So painful all of the time. I've never had one there before. I've had for nearly a week. It does feel a bit better today though.

I'm tempted by the MLD but can't find anywhere locally that offer it. Zita West clinic charges £80. I guess if in a few months I'm still ttc with no success, then I might give it a go. Sounds good for your general health anyway, not just ttc.

Fab book - thanks .

How are you Ready and Thinking. Anyone I've missed too.

can someone look at my chart please says no ov yet but on cd 28 of 28 day cycle and no af had mc may 07,not sure about the +opk it was the darkest line i got on cheapie internet opks but not as dark as control line but opk next day was defo -

Don't think so, I think it is more the action of the "housing" being steeped in hot water and their temperature therefore rising that can be an issue

Do hot showers damage sperm too?

Ready - oh well! guess showers are much more hygenic!

3Cats - I'll package it up tonight.

3cats - Well, the consultant didn't say 2-3 days, he just said plenty - but that is the aim yes.

MrsMc - Heehee, no, they don't have team baths anymore. Not allowed cos of health and safety regs. It's all showers nowadays. I often wonder though if the amount of physical activity he does could affect him

MrsMc that is such a lovely thing to say. Thank you.

I used the link above to CAT you. I hope it worked.

Ready, so glad your appt went well.

So are you on the bding every 2-3 days diet too now?

Good Luck.

That all sounds great Ready I'm so pleased. Just a thought - but does DH have really hot baths after training/playing? that can kill sperm x

Hi ladies... Still no news on the club situation. Frustrated, much.

But thought I would tell you that we had our referral appointment today (the silver lining of DH being sans club means that he was able to come with me) ... Our consultant was LOVELY, he made me feel really relaxed. The assistant-nurse asked for DH's autograph for her son, which was a good ice-breaker too .
In a nutshell, he is very pleased with everything so far. My progesterone level shows I am ovulating, and DH sperm is fine, so he wants me to get an x-ray to see if there are any blockages in the tubes. And assuming that is fine, he just thinks it's only a matter of time.

So... we shall see. In the meantime, he said, plenty of sex

3Cats ? it would be a pleasure especially if it gives you the outcome you want have the book as a token of my gratitude for your friendship over the last year It?s now much easier to CAT, you just click on the envelope on the line above with my name in it (right hand corner). I thought the book was interesting and I think I did learn from it but I was reading so many books at the time that I can?t remember which tips I got from where certainly there is a good section on the whole holistic approach to things which you might find interesting

MrsMc, that would be fab and so kind of you. (hug)
Can I send you a cheque?

I will try and CAT you now.

Did you find the book useful?

Spooky 3Cats - I was just thinking of you as I was looking through my book shelf and thinking that the Zita West book might help you because there is lots in there aside from the actual TTC part - would you like my copy? I'd be happy to send it to you CAT me your address and I'll send it to you if you like (I'll include some baby dust too!)

Welcome Zamamummy.

Hello again to everyone else.

The Pimms was so nice that I had another last night .

I don't know if you all feel the same, but I feel more down when I know AF is approaching than once AF has been here for a few days.

I feel positive about the next cycle at this point every time. It's the run upto AF and that first day that are the worst for me.

I was thinking of getting the Zita West book this month. Has anyone read it or heard about it?

I will try really hard to follow City's example of bding every 2-3 days.

Hugs to you all

Rainbowdays ? thanks hon not blooming quite yet, still quite sick most days and very tired still but it?s fine ? much less than a lot of people are hope you are doing ok and feeling a bit stronger.

Hey Cityangel ? beans certainly cost money Fingers crossed that your Dr?s plan works this cycle. My beanie seems ok (always touch wood when I say that) we get another peek this Friday at my dating scan . Plan is to move to Spain when beanie?s about 8 weeks, want to get all it?s checks done etc before we head off

3Cats ? I?m sorry hon hope the Pimms helped a bit x

Zammummy ? these ladies will look after you

Ready ? how are things hon? Sorry that DH is still having to hang in there, hopefully you?ll get some good news soon. Must be stressful.

Fortunately I don't like Pimms otherwise I would have been very unhappy to miss virtual fun :0(

Next time there let me know in advance!

Rainbowdays and Zammymummy hello how's it going? Please post lots of links and fill in the blanks.

Ready not temping is actually fine. In the sense that after 4 months of temping I got the idea and can still check CM not (officially) using the CBMF and pretending I don't know what CD it is really should get me into RADA!

We went house hunting lots this weekend. Annoyingly both of us couldn't be more ready (to steal your name) In the pg family department.

Still we have a good life. The current debate is whether I go back to work after 6 months...I'm up for it but lets get there first!

3catsoo how are you and your brood? What's the latest xxx Hope your dh does ok with the test. Seems its a stressful man thing.

Any lurkers/ graduates to cheer me up?

Happy Sunday xxx

ZamMummy - Welcome to the thread I won't bombard you with a million questions

Cityangel - Things are still up in the air here, nothing sorted as of yet. Patience is a virtue, and all that - How's the corporate world treating you? And how are you doing not charting etc?

Seaside - Thrilled that things are going well. I look forward to hearing about it all. How was your work stuff? Good I hope.

3cats - A girl after my own heart, Pimms is my weapon of choice, although after a brief flirtation with alcohol consumption over the summer, I am back on the wagon. How are you feeling?

Rainbowdays - Hope you are ok? Will email you soon

MrsMcJnr - How's it all going?

Sorry if I have missed anyone...

Think I may have got the link wrong... try again here xx

Hello, can I join? My chart can be found here - is that right?
Looking forward to getting to know you all xx

Hi girls.

Well AF arrived yesterday, as predicted .

I enjoyed my Pimms though.
Did you enjoy your virtual one Rainbowdays?

Into cycle 12 of ttc now.

Glad you are happy City. House hunting sounds like a good thing to concentrate on.
Like the idea of bding every 2-3 days.
Not sure if my DH would be up for that.

Hope it works for you. Good luck.

Hello everyone.. hugs from me

Great to have some success stories on here and happy bean scans

Corporate world is fine in the sense that I am earning money we can put towards bean. We went house hunting today in case we get lucky.

This month we are carrying out the specific doctor instructions of bd every 2/3 days and no temping. Here's hoping it works then in a few weeks we get the sperm CD3 results. One good thing is that the CM signs give it away without the temping.

Ready how is your footbal man? MrsMC glad your dh is good. How is bean? Are you still going to Spain?

Hope you feel better Rainbowdays and 3catsoo xxx
