Chart Spotters Unite!!

It is a vicious circle, I know. A hard one to break though.

MrsMc - Strange that even with higher temps, the software is not recognising Ov.

Did you have all the other symptoms of Ov?

Sorry about AF Ready.

Does Zita West write antenatal stuff too? I remember seeing her name associated with lotions and potions for pregnancy, that was years ago.

I weighed myself last night because I keep feeling bloated. Suddenly thought - what if I'm not bloated what if I'm just putting on weight? Sure enough I have gained a stone in the last couple of weeks.
I told DH I was going to give up chocolate. He said 'you mean as soon as you've finished that cream egg?'.
I have no will power at all.

What's happened to LondonLottie, haven't heard from her for ages on here?

Thanks 3Cats lots of action but not much relevant if 28th was the day. Hope we are right as we?ve virtually given up this week. So tired! Last night I fell asleep during Life on Mars but then again, I had had ½ bottle red wine, I KNOW very naughty, shouldn?t drink at all at this point and wish I?d had the self control to not drink after having those 6 weeks off but I?m rubbish I read back on my ?symptoms? when I did get my BFP, here were my main ones so I?m looking for them again:

? Wind
? Smelly pee
? Burning up face, especially in the evenings
? Bloated
? One night I was v sick after wine, had a horrid sweet taste in my mouth

The Zita West book I have is this one its quite good, lots on alternative therapies and the science of it all, a lot of it we know from being on here, doubt there would be much new stuff but worth a read I think. Especially the what to eat bits.

Ironic isn?t it that a moving target causes the most stress but the stress makes it move?! Vicious circle really!

Christmas baby! how lovely! I think if I get mine it?ll be around 6/12 but I?m not really sure, have to say, I?m trying not to look at EDDs, though oh yes, I usually do, it reminds me too much at the mo that if I don?t get one soon I?ll have to make a choice between continuing to TTC and going to my Dad?s 6oth in the Caribbean! I want to do both of course!

Hi Seaside fingers crossed!

Hi Ready ? hope you see the link above for the book. Best bought on Amazon I imagine how are you doing today? Feeling any better?

My temp was 36.5 again today. Haven?t had a chance to upload to software which is maybe just as well, it?ll only raise my CL to 36.4 I imagine! Gggggggggggggr! I confess that at the weekend I typed in high temps for the whole week to see what it would do and it just raised the CL higher and higher and never recognised OV!

We are very close in dates then, Seaside.
Fingers crossed we both get success.

no I check it too 3cats!! my EDD would be 26 dec mind you this is cycle 13 and I have been through quite a few IDD (imaginary due dates!!)

I totally agree about your c/l MrsMc. Looks like you Ov'd to me. Fingers crossed. You got lots of action too. You and your DH must be sooooo fit

What is the Zita West book about then?

The OPKs stress me out too. Although it is the moving target that's causing the most stress.

I checked the pg status tab on Ovusoft, it has given me a due date of 25 Dec (IF this is my lucky cycle).

Does anyone else check that each cycle? Or am I just too obsessed?

Thanks hon I really hope we get our BFPs together, it would be so nice to chat about AN things!

BH Ready how long is it since you had one? I know you don?t drink much anyway but I am back to full alchy status well, not quite so bad but I did have a fair bit of wine at the weekend, my taste buds like it again! Hope you are right about me and OV, I?m just impatient to get into known territory!

I think you?ll be fine with the OPKs this time, you know so much more about your body and charting and you?ll be using them as a back up of what you already know so I say go for it! Sounds like a good plan for this cycle!

Thanks Ready right thing to say, stupid software, what does it know? I?ll check the name of the Zeta West book for you and let you know. Any plans to do anything differently this cycle? Taking up or cutting anything out? Sorry you are low, totally understandable. Temp was 36.5 today by the way. I haven?t found any reason anywhere for temps rising over CL other than OV.

Yum03 ? it is looking damn fine!

It certainly is time we chart spotters got some more BFPs!

3cats ? good! It?ll probably move OV back in the next couple of days if you got +ive today, hope so. I wouldn?t be surprised if stress was making your OV late, you have so much on your plate at the mo but it is a vicious circle impossible to get out of isn?t it.

I know what you mean about the sex, the last couple of times this cycle have been fun but if I?m honest, they wouldn?t have happened if we weren?t TTC. We?re knackered and have effectively slowed down the pace over the last few days.

My temp was 36.4 this morning. I hope I did OVd on 28/3 and I do have 5 higher temps since then. I think the coverline is way too high for me. These are like post ov type temps for me but I guess I?ll just have to wait and see.

I meant that for Ready, I posted before thinking about my post.

Good luck for the interview Citydevil.

It worked, thank you MrsMc.

Now Ov has moved to tomorrow, based on todays +ve opk. I'm sure it has already happened though.
DH will not be up for anything during this week, until Friday anyway. He is so busy at work and comes home exhausted. Hence the hearts only appear on my chart at the weekend .

I'll have to try really hard to persuade him.

This will be my latest Ov since charting. It's gone from CD15 to CD 19 over the past few months. It makes it harder to succeed when there is a moving target.

I have hit the point where I really only think of sex as a means to making a baby. Of course I enjoy it too but even during I think of the result. Is that bad?

Sorry to see your temp drop again.

I posted on the old thread this morning, wasn't sure if this was replacing the other one or just running along side it.
I won't re type my ramble again and bore you.

I will try the mass delete, thanks MrsMc, I knew you would know!

Yum03 - thanks how are you feeling about things?

Good luck City

Ready - sorry hon, but as you say, you are the closest to textbook than any of us!

Oh Ready big hugs. I know how it feels. Just aboout over my hangover now

D2D cycle buddy how are you? what have you been up to?

Off for a job interviw this afternoon and am dead nervous! Wish me luck

Just looked at your chart ready - is it really cd1 now confirmed?

MrsMc - I thought that you can only tell if you have an annovulatory cycle by blood tests, I read somewhere (sorry I don't know where) that you can get a temp-rise with an annovulatory cycle, but I don;t understand how! Sorry I might try some googling to see if I can find more info.

Ready - you still sound hopeful - are you?

Well found, very interesting. What shall we call ?estrogen breakthrough bleeding? ?! No progesterone at all maybe my tingling boobs were a sign I am not anov then because I know it?s the progesterone that causes that. I wonder too about the temps.

Anyone help us?
