Chart Spotters Unite!!

Cityangel - I don't want to bring down the thread - but DH didn't get a new contract, so we are in limbo land for a while, will be putting the house on the market, and moving again, god knows where to next - just when we had got settled. So feeling pretty stressed at the moment - could be why I haven't conceived yet - all this stress hanging over us?? .... Anyone think that is possible? Or am I just kidding myself?

Oh and city - meant to ask, have you started in your new position yet?? wasn't sure if it was before or after your holiday? how's it all going?

MrsMc - Don't mind the GP being frosty - so long as you get the care you need, that's all that matters

MrsMC Big hugs. I hope you're ok how is dh? Try not to worry.

Ready what is going on with you. Sorry to hear things are stressful as well Can we help... hugs are on their way too.
I think my concierge must be away with the fairies!

Where is everyone else?

Thank you so much you are all so sweet to me spoke to GP and she was a bit frosty at first but said she'd contact haematologist and call me back. I'll feel much better after I've spoken/seen consultant I think

Cityangel - Welcome back chick!! How's the jetlag working for you? I was cracking up at your Hotel Egg analogy - I wonder if our Concierge sometimes gets confused and sends the sperm to the wrong room?

Choc - My fingers and toes are crossed for you with the IVF - spending positive vibes How does it feel? I go and have a nosy at your chart every now and then - hope you don't mind

3cats - Hope you are ok?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MrsMcJnr - First thing I did this morning was look at your chart, and I saw yesterday's temp rise and I thought to myself "MrsMc has cracked it again - best go and look at some threads" and LO and behold - You've ruddy well cracked it again! I am so happy for you chick!! How truly wonderful!

Don't tell your GP that you went against her advice, just tell her you weren't actively trying, it just happened - meant to be! And then make sure that they look after you sweetheart!

Oh, I am grinning from ear to ear - wonderful wonderful news. I woke up feeling sombre because of things going on in my life at the moment that are a huge stress and worry - but your news has really lifted my spirits! And restored my faith in the world! (((((((hugs)))))))

MrsMC fingers crossed for you. You must be worried. I hope the docs give you all the support you need

Big hug from me

MrsMcJnr!!!!!

Wow! That sounds sooo much better than last time - can you call the clinic where you had the test to get some advice?

Chocolatedays ? I found a thread on spotting in Pregnancy but the poor lady lost her baby so it must be another one Everything crossed for the IVF. Holiday not booked yet, money?s an issue Ab migraine sounds horrible.

Hey Cityangel Glad you had a lovely time and could eat and drink whatever you wanted! Hope this cycle is a lucky one as you are all refreshed!

Ready hope you are staying positive

I had a chart spot at the airport briefly last night and now I have forgotten it all so will have to look again.

Also?.I am ?probably pregnant? woke up at 4am, needed a wee and thought I?d better temp too as I normally get up at 6.15 so I rooted around in the dark for a test and did it ? there was a line not the strongest of lines but mostly definitely there. Funnily enough, I didn?t get any sleep after that. I feel numb really, I went through every emotion in the hours of lying there; as you can imagine I am very scared about the thrombophilia and the risk to the baby, I don?t have a haematology appointment yet and I don?t know what to do. I have left a message for my GP to call me about ?something important? I hope she is not too angry with me for disobeying her advice to help. I haven?t had any spotting like last time so I am reading into that that this time might be different; more fool me but what?s the harm in staying positive? I am really excited, just scared.

Thanks for the good wishes.

MrsMcJnr - thanks for the advice - I posted and she wasn't too stressed out by my experience! ..... Fingers crossed for you!!

Good luck chocdays :0) Fingers crossed.

Hey Ready, I agree with the idea that reducing stress could help with conception. Maybe losening up leads to more sex or the body being in better condition. However, I get mucho frustrated with the idea that somehow the sperm are all knowing and queue up in a parking lot in the vagina waiting for the owner (us) of Hotel Egg to stop taking an active interest in their fertility/ taking note of body signs before they can proceed??

MrsMC how are you feeling. Did you book your holiday?

3cats as a child I got abdominal migraine and there is a family history of migraine. SO I know it's a toughie. Hope you're doing ok.

Seaside how was your London trip? Were you glad to get out?

off to bed to beat the jet lag!

Not much time to catch up but just wanted to say to Chocolatedays that I think people need to hear both sides to keep balanced so I think you should tell how it is. I'll find the thread and have a read, see if I can help xx

Hey Ready - don't worry about me - we are on the IVF roller coaster - so we have a 1 in 4 chance of getting pg in the next 3 months. (timing tbc!). I am temping but the drugs will throw the data I think.
Cxx

*hear

Chocolatedays - Oh flower, it breaks my heart to hear you say that... (hug) I hope that you are ok, and if you are temping, we would really love you to join us. But understand your reasons for not.

Cityangel - Cycle bud ? lovely to have you back! Glad you had a lovely time! I think having a month off will be good ? I am intending to have a month off temping next month as we are going back home to visit family and friends, so I am taking the opportunity for a break. You never know, you always here people say ?we took a month off and fell? ? fingers crossed for us huh!!

MrsMc- Sorry to hear you had to go to a funeral , I hope all went well.
I think that you are right to put the OPKs as the priority as you normally ovulate the day after a + and your temps didn?t reflect that this month did they. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

3cats - Glad I am not the only one to think about mumsnetters! Chuckle. How are you doing? Are you still suffering with your migraines? I suddenly wondered you know, a friend of mine got terrible migraines, turned out she was allergic to cheese ? I am not saying you are allergic to cheese (that would be terribly ironic wouldn?t it!) but perhaps you have a food intolerance that triggers them? Sorry if you have already investigated this area.

Off to chart spot?

Hi everyone how's it going. Thanks for all your nice messages. Hello choc

I'm back from hols and refreshed. Sadly it was AF during trip so no Florida conception!

It was great to have access to MN most of the time I was away. I am not temping for one month only just recording bd. Can't use the CBFM either as got back on day 8 and it can only be forced forward to day 5 and I don't want to confuse it.

I suppose one month off won't be too harmful but I will miss the info.

We must be due some BFPs soon. Who is next to test?

Hello all - this is a bit a a hijack (though I still temp ... just can't handle being the longest mnetter to remain on the conception thread - not sure if that is true but it certainly feels true a lot of time!).

This is specifically for MrsMcJnr (great to see some promising temps hun... fingers crossed for you!)- OK here goes: there is another mnetter who has just started brown spotting (just as you and I did) - I don't want to worry them but I am concerned for them. Did my post to you help or just add to your stress when you were going through this?
Thanks - I don't like to put a dampner on anyone's hope... that's af's job.

Hi Ready I was ok by the BFNs, grounded me a bit but I?m still hoping, obviously! I changed the priorities to OPK then temps, they were the other way round, I think that is best for this cycle don?t you? Mind you, I am CD29 today and 12dpo so I have to consider that I am still only 11dpo. How are you?

3Cats the temps are weird aren?t they, the thermometer is working too! Emp was 36.4 this morning an hour early so maybe that?s changed the pattern (had to get up to go to the loo ? good sign? I hope so! ) Hope you are feeling confident about this cycle!

Hello Seaside

Hello everyone else! Have to go to a funeral now but will have a chart spot tonight

Good for you Seaside! Think of the protein!

3Cats - DH and I joined you in lasagna tonight!! extra cheese for me - yum

MrsMc those temps are amazing, all in a row. Don't beat yourself up about testing early - we all do it.

Ready I am lasagned out. I had it last night too as I had made far too much for Friday.
No you are not the only one who thinks of MNers in RL. I think it's very sweet .

Rattling sorry to see AF on your chart. Hugs to you.

City hope you are having a fab time.

Seaside Good to see your temp went back up again.

Hope everyone else is good.

MrsMcJnr - True, but I needn't have giggled! - I can't bring myself to tell you off for testing. You've been through too much to listen to me throwing stats at you! I hope that the BFN didn't upset you too much? (hug) because it really doesn't mean anything at this stage! Did you over-ride the software to get ovulation on 17? Or did it correct itself?
Hope you are doing ok?

Seaside - Hope you are ok hon, noticed your temp went up again - has that made you feel a little less despondent? Hope so flower. Missing you on the threads again - hope all is well.

3cats - Are you all lasagned out? I thought of you this evening actually, DH and I decided to have a light-ish tea so we had Jackets - DH had cheese and beans and I had tuna - and I thought your DH wouldn't be happy with my cooking either - Is it just me, or do the rest of you think of fellow mumsnetters in RL?

Mum03 - Hope you are not too tired after being kept awake. How's the house coming along

City - As always, hope hol is top notch!!

Other charters -

Ready - not at all hon, happy to explain, that's why we share charts isn't it? when you next do, you'll see that I was bad yesterday It was crazy, wasn't even first pee but I just had such a good vibe, BFN of course! but still a little but in some ways it has brought me back down to earth a bit.

Must have a spot actually...

Hope everyone is well

MrsMc - really sorry for bringing up your sore calves - how insensitive of me. Not to mention rude. I was genuinely curious though, and had to ask. I hope I didn't upset you petal!? I would say the varicose veins were almost certainly linked to the thrombophilia. Take care of yourself hon.

3cats - Hope you enjoyed your get together with the girls, and your lasagne!

Seaside - Hope you are ok? Drinking plenty of cranberry juice?

Cityangel - Howdee

All - enjoy the bank holiday weekend

Have a fab weekend All.

Seaside we?ve had quite a few sessions like that, I always hope that some might have escaped and that the effort is not totally wasted but it is awfully annoying, plus it really reinforces the fact that you are only doing it on that particular occasion for the end result, not for the thrill in the experience. I do feel for you.

Ready ? it?s due to varicose veins before and during AF (sometimes so sore I can?t stand) and when I was pg they were much, much worse, had to put my legs up as much as I could and wear support tights. My Mum had them so badly with my youngest sister that they told her she could not have anymore DC because of the risk to her life. I don?t know if this is connected to the blood clotting issue, could well do, it would make sense. Maybe being pg in the winter would be a bonus for me with the support tights? I think the software is based on OPK & temps. Maybe my temp was out on 18th, hopefully I won?t care what day it was soon?.. my ok, slightly worried about how hard I am hoping this cycle but no way to stop that is there. How are you doing?

Hey 3Cats sorry about the migraine I really hope you have a lovely evening with the girls!
