Charter's Anonymous: Volume 3, here's to better luck this time for us all!

[spilttheteaagain]

A shiny new thread girls and hopefully we shall all get merrily up-duffed with sticky beans

oh God, tell me I'm just panicking unecessarily?

Just can't help but notice my chart for the last 3 days is completely IDENTICAL to my pregnancy chart (also on my homepage). Was expecting a temp drop really.

See what tomorrow brings. One day at a time!

terrys what's yours like? I have stalked but am clearly too early!

spilt looks promising

spilt you are panicking unnecessarily! (no idea if that's true but you asked us to tell you that!) Seriously though, try not to stress. When did you and DH SFF before OV? Is there a chance?

Temp fell again today but still above the coverline, feeling a bit glum though as from what I can see, most PG charts have a general rise overall but mine seems to be pretty static. I may have also accidentally POAS this am.

Am also attributing slightly higher temps to the rubbish nights sleep I had last couple of nights.

chart here

ok, so I know you shouldn't do this, but I kind of fished the PG test out of the bin 30 mins after I had taken it and there is the faintest, almost invisible pink line there.

What does this mean?!?! I am not getting my hopes up but should I?!?!

HELP ME!!

Naughty naughty Terrys

Maybe........

not wanting to pee on said fire....could it poss be an evap line? I doubt it at all, what do instructions say... its normally mentioned there!

I have been known to do that myself.......!

I even POAS the day i got AF... just to be sure!

I didn't have a chance to read instructions Nix - just grabbed it out of the bin on the way to work. It was definitely pink though, but as I said, very faint and very thin - I have been scouring MN and apparently evap lines have no colour.

Oh god, I know I will have to wait till tomorrow but this is sooooo frustrating!!

Come on everyone else - what do you think?!!?

Nix are you peeing on Terrys fire?

They do say, a line is a line is a line. But 30mins after the test? Prob not reliable... but surely a line wouldn't appear at all if there was no HCG present?

You are only 11DPO Terrys. So it's probably very early for a positive anyway.

Hoping for you!

What brand of test did you use, Terrys?

Sounds quite hopeful to me. But I might wait a couple more days to let the HCG build up a bit more.

I used this one

I do have a clearblue digital at home too but as its so expensive I was saving it.

The line is definitely pink. I put it in the bin after 10 mins and fished it out after about 30 mins in total so no idea when it appeared.

If it was a first response then my lines were very thin and very PINK.....oooooooh could we get suzzies on d'ya think?

they do say a line is a line,

OOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh have got said twinkly tinsel suspenders on for you terrys..........so exciting!

Sorry for peeing on your fire, not too much mess i hope x

LadyG do you honestly think I will be able to wait a couple of days?!?! Do you not know me by now?!!?

I am trying not to get my hopes up but keeping my fingers and toes crossed - I took the test as I have felt rubbish for the past couple of days and thats not very like me - had horrid headaches and been tired, but had awful insomnia all night the last 2 nights. I was hoping that there was a good reason for it all! Well at least all this umming and ahhing is taking my mind off how tired I am!!

Nix - whats suzzies?!!?

Suspenders, Terrys.

Chepo internet tests rubbish - never give you a line at 11 dpo. I'd get a First response sharpish. Pee on it tomorrow morning

Hi,

Please could I crash and ask your expert temp advice?

I 98% know I'm not pregnant - I've had 2 low temps, got my period very definitely.

But the 2% driving me mad is that my period, although heavy, was significantly lighter than normal, and I've had all the pg signs (breast pains, awful moodiness, nausea).

I was avoiding temping becuase it makes me obsessed, but I did it because I wanted to have more evidence to get rid of the 2% doubt, so can anyone help? So i've not temped since I confirmed ovulation (about 5 dpo, until the second day of my period (about 11 dpo).

Please can anyone tell me whether 2 low temps (at my usual pre-ov level) would mean its pretty much impossible to be pregnant? My understanding was that 1 might be a blip, but two would be clearcut.

They were the first temps I've taken sleeping in a new room (much colder than usual), would that make a difference?

Thanks in advance if you could help me with the madness!

Hi there kayjayel it's awful isn't it, the not knowing? I find I torture myself over slight feelings of nausea, sore boobs etc.

Unfortunately the only conclusive evidence is a positive pregnancy test. You can have all other symptoms (inc high temps) and still not be pregnant.

I'm sorry to say this, (and please don't think I'm trying to burst your bubble here) but it's not looking hopeful that you are pregnant.

Your temps have gone low again (to pre. ov levels), and you've got your period. The only slight question in my mind is that it's lighter than normal, and at 11DPO that's quite early to be having your period. Do you know what your luteal phase is normally? If it's normally more like 14days then there is a chance, but it should be more like spotting really, not "heavy" as you describe.

Sorry kay don't think this is your month. I could be wrong though.

Hi GetDown, thanks for replying. I need to hear the sense. So far my brain is doing this:
Not pregnant: PERIOD IS HERE! temps down
Pregnant: why do I have waves of nausea which are accompanied by sore boobs? Gone off coffee.

My luteal phase is quite short - usually 10-11 days (I've conceived twice with that length LP), though a few months ago it was only 8 days (wasn't TTC that month). So it looks like I need a burst bubble emoticon. Or some kind of body scanner that can tell me exactly what's happening! Or some patience. I'm trying not to obsess too much in real life, but its driving me mad that no-one knows, so it really helps to post here, thanks again for replying.

no problem Kayjayel we all need a bit of bubble bursting sense from time to time (me included). You would not be the only one who has thought they could still be preg even AFTER period has arrived!

I know of certain people (naming no names) who have done a test even once period has arrived!

Maybe next time will be your month

Thanks! .

Just to be sure!!

I also tried to convince myself that it was possible last month kayjayel when AF was here - its not our fault remember. Its the hormones!!

Afternoon all Well it's been getting a bit exciting here! terrys I take it you are re-peeing in the morning? Check the instructions first so you know the time window ... and have today's test to hand for comparative squinting

God I'm tempted to POAS tomorrow too but I am sure it would be pointless (too early probably) and this is the way madness lies...

Have made my shagging data visible. Yes it's possible - we SWI 4 and 5 days before ovulation. Then the consultant appointment was 3 days before and we were told to put a stop to it . But it's definitely feasible.
terrys I agree, I need a little window in to see what's going on!

Nix I did briefly experiment with B vits in May (was taking a vit B complex as it was the only way I could get B6 from Tescos). I don't think the dose was really high enough to make a difference, and that was the cycle I conceived so I'll never know what that LP was. I haven't taken them again yet, I wanted to give the system a chance to regulate itself first.

Hello everyone else

What would happen if you are spilt?!!?

erm, I would panic.

We would be making an appointment to see the consultant again and find out what the risks are. I guess it would be more blood tests to see what the state of play is with infection/antibodies. Maybe antibiotics, but equally he did say last time that the drugs they would have to give are not great for little babies either. Hmmm.

I would disinfect the cats and try to stop my trembling hands pouring a(nother) bottle of wine down my gullet.

I'm hoping I haven't conceived, but there's a little part of me that still wants it to have happened. That is very stupid isn't it?

Not stupid at all! But try not to stress about either scenario, take one day at a time. I will keep my fingers crossed that in either scenario you will have a happy healthy baby in the not too distant future!
