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

Go for it, Battery. Make that Christmas baby!!!!

Getdown and Izz bet your bodies are gearing up to ov soon - it is a very dull part of the cycle but also time to obsess a little less I guess.

Mouse I'm so pleased the spotting has stopped...and as you say, just feeling nervous gives you a tummy ache so really hard to know. Have everything crossed for Monday.

Hope everyone has a lovely, Christmassy day.

Hi all, sorry to arrive and then disappear but got buried under a large pile of work and then knocked sideways by a horrid cold which is in full swing at the moment

Nice to see some more newcomers to join me in joining - MrsP I would have got v excited to see that rise at the end of the chart you must have been disappointed when it fell again.

Hello all - been out all day and shattered, just about to plonk TV on but wanted to !

Oh mrsp meant to say I had a chart that looked almost triphasic last month, and got very excited - made it doubly disappointing when af turned up so you have my sympathies there!

Hi all. Glad to hear things have settled a bit mouse - thinking of you on Monday.

And very glad you're feeling a bit rotten ladygg hehehehe - all good signs!

I am on cd19 and only a tiny bit of EWCM, so thikning it'll be CD22 or 23 again this month.

Can I ask a favour. I have 3 days of comp VIP left of ff and I have overlaid my previous cycles and put them on my homepage. Could someone have a look and let me know if they think I am low in progesterone? My post ov temps do not seem to be very high, although i always get a definite shift.
Chart here. Thanks - off to watch x factor on sky + and putting our decs up tomorrow!

Hi all

Sorry I've been quiet today, been at SIL's all day for an early Christmas. Feeling stuffed with roast beef and all the trimmings

Well we DTD this morning (not at SIL's !) but cervix low and firm so think it's too early really, but hey. Gotta keep those swimmers fresh eh??!

Nix you make me laugh so much!! Your swimmers cheerleading is so funny Go swimmers! Go swimmers! Go swimmers!

Izzy hoping you pop an egg out soon!

MrsA had a look at your chart. I suppose your LP temps do look a bit low, but surely low progesterone would result in a short LP??? Your's seems fine length wise. Sorry I don't really know enough about it really to say for sure. But as you say, you do definitely have a temp shift, so that is postive that you do actually ovulate. Would it be worth asking for a progesterone levels test?

Morning

Anyone elses FF not working today - it keeps just saying "Session Halted* everytime I try to get to the charts?

Just dropping in to say hi and WOW I can't believe how many of you have got BFPs recently - congratulations! So lovely.

Maybe someone should start an ex-charters AN thread?

Split I had tears in my eyes at your news after everything you've been through xx

Mouse I'll be thinking about you tomorrow xx

Hello and good luck to all the new joiners. I got my bfp on the volume 2 board, but keep checking back in to see how everyone is getting on.

My 20wk scan is a week tomorrow. I've been feeling great and the bump is definitely growing but the wobbles have set in and I'm counting down the days now. Tho can't wish the time away too quick cos I've got stacks to do getting ready for Xmas!

xxx

wow newyearsday it seems like about 1 week ago you had your 12 week scan. Other people's pregnancies go so fast! Fantastic that you are feeling movement and fingers crossed you have a lovely scan.

MrsA how's that CM coming along? Before my free VIP ran out I made lots of overlaid charts, average lines, pinned at different points etc charts and saved them. If you right click on the chart you can copy the picture and then paste into a word doc so at least you have them to refer to later. I see what you mean, your LP aren't that high. I don't really know what that might mean. Have you got TCOYF? Not sure if Toni has anything to say on the matter.

GetDown any progress today or is it still looking like its a few days away?

mouse thinking of you today and tomorrow and really hoping you get good news.

Hello Fedup!

your LP temps aren't that high...

Brain rot.

I am shattered today and have slept for an hour on the armchair this afternoon.

what happened to my formatting?! I give up.

Hi there all.

hi newyearsday glad to hear all is going well for you. It's lovely you are checking in on us! Charting is obviously the way forward to that BFP!!

Hi there Spilt I think I got some EWCM today but it was creamy not clear so I'm not sure. Anyway I've put it on my chart as EWCM. Also got a slightly stronger line on the OPK today than yesterday, so maybe my body is gearing up? Hope so!

GetDown's chart is getting slightly more interesting

GetDown it sounds to me like you will be egg laying within about 3-5 days. Keep those swimmers topped up!
I think I'm right in saying that you can have a mix of slightly older (and hence creamy) CM and newer EWCM (EWCM flows down faster) as the fluid changes so that maybe what you are finding.

Getdown - I have no idea about the creamy/clear cm, but the chart's looking good!

Izzy's chart just looks a bit strange

I sent a copy to my acupuncturist yesterday and she replied saying she thought I would ov in about 2.5 days - surely that must be a typo for 2-5 days?! I know she's good but surely no one can be that accurate just from looking at a chart?

newyearsday I'm new here so didn't get to "meet" you before your bfp, but it's lovely to hear about a successful pg - will keep my fx that it continues to be uneventful for you. Good luck with the scan!

mrsA tbh my temps never go that high either, so I'm hoping yours are ok! I noticed ff had only drawn dashed crosshairs though, and did wonder if it had got the ov date exactly right?

terrys ff has bern working ok for me today, hope you've managed to sort it out?

Hello all.... :)

Chitty chitty bang bang + DS = TRANSFIXED!

thanks izzy and spilt If I ov in 5 days, I will ov on my birthday!! (16th) Not sure if DTD on my birthday will be a treat or a chore Hmmm. Think a birthday treat would be more like a nice meal out followed by undisturbed sleep. But hey! We'll see!

I didn't know that spilt about older CM mixing with newer EWCM, hence creamy stretchy stuff!! Very interesting, thanks! Maybe that's what's happening.

I also seem to be rubbish at working out what my cervix actually feels like. One bit feels firm and another mushy, and I kind of decide it's closed, and then think "err, no it's open" So it's confusion all round !!

Izzy I suspect you are right that the acupunturist meant 2-5 days... 2.5 days would be spookily precise! Hope you get that egg soon. Maybe we will be in the 2ww together!

I think FF draws dashed crosshairs when it doesn't have all the fertility signs data, i.e. only temps and not CM data. But could be wrong.

at nix's DS transfixed by Chitty chitty bang bang! My DD is currently transfixed with Octonauts strange child!

Hello everyone. How are you all? - good weekends all round I hope. Sorry for my lack of posts and name checks - it has been manic around here - what with a poorly cat (xrays tomorrow) picking up dp for the weekend and SWI - I don't know if I am coming or going

I am so pleased with the BFPs' on here, - just a quick hello and hug to mouse and slpit. xxx I love nixs dancing - you go girl! terrys I am so pleased for you too x, and a big wave to ladyg too - how many weeks are you now?
Hello to new people on the thread too, it seems a lucky place to be so welcome :)

To my fellow SWIers mrsa & and getdown - I too have posted my chart - think Ov was day 16.. I am annoyed at my false reading on cd15 - bloody wine :( [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/here
hope I have got the timings right!]]

izzy I am really impressed with your accupucturist and her knowledge of charting. I am not convinced with mine at the moment - I might have to look about. I think she is good but don't really think she focus's on fertility - more of strenghtening the body as a whole I think.

I hope i haven't missed anyone - but if I have big wave to you xxx

PS - lovely that newyears pops in to keep an eye on us :)

Hi everyone, hope you?ve had lovely weekends. My Christmas tree is now up and twinkling ? the cat is very curious about the whole thing and no doubt some baubles will be off the tree very soon.

Just worked out that I am due to ov sometime between Christmas and new year, so guess what we?ll be doing with our days off work?!

Hope your cold gets better soon Ladybee.

Good luck and have fun with your SWI IzzyWizzy!

getdown I?d agree with what spilt says about the CM. Fingers crossed for an egg soon.

Evening ladies, it's good to hear that all i going well newyears! Well, after panicking yesterday that I didnt have many symptoms (I stupidly googled lack of morning sickness) I am completley flattened today! I had a nice relaxing morning, had quite an appetite so ate several pieces of toast, then decided to make my Christmas cake. I found, mid-way through making it, that I'd picked up the wrong type of spice mix, so had to gear myself up for a trip round the shops. Luckily, they had some in our local co-op, which smelt a though something had died in there and I felt that I was either going to vom or pass out WOOHOO! So, I've spent most of the afternoon in the kitchen, baking and then cooking tea, and now feel dreadful. It just goes to show, what a bit of an energetic afternoon can actually do. I'm now going to have a relaxing evening on the sofa with DH, a cup of decaf and Elf on the TV,then an early night! :)

Hi batteryturkey sorry to hear about your poorly puddy-cat what are the x-rays for? Hope he / she is ok.... we have a much loved dog and I hate it when she is ill / injured. She has big doleful brown eyes and looks particularly sad when ill!

Your chart looks good, not sure what you mean about false reading on CD15? Looks ok to me? Or do you mean CD16? Anyway the OPK and EWCM all seem to tie in nicely, so looks like you've got your timing perfect! Just a waiting game now.

Hi there MrsP hope you have fun between Christmas and new year! I will possibly be testing during that time - eeekk!

IfatFirst take things easy! Glad to hear that you've got some symptoms.

IF dont fret lovely :) I puked precisely twice during 2 pgs. Nausea yes but vomming nope! (only when i choked on a supplement all times!!) Some women just dont get any! Good though that your sense of smell has kicked in

I,

FELT

SICK

AS

A

DOG

EARLIER

I have to say for me its linked to blood sugar, and i just eat my way through it hence i am a right fat cow...soon to be fatter (hopefully!)

battery hope the pussy (cat!) is better soon, and i hope the dancing helped those swimmers along, and for you Izz!

IfatFirst and Nix, I feel fine although DH is making a Quail pie and the smell of the stock is making me feel a bit icky. Apparently, actual nausea during pregnancy is not that common but very common to feel nauseous.

Battery I hope your cat gets better soon. I hope your SWI-ing has done the trick!

GetDown at least if its your birthday you can demand it short and sweet!!

MrsA I don't really know how to tell if you are low in progesterone, sorry! I hope the acupuncture works this month though!

I put my tree up yesterday MrsP it really makes it feel like Christmas is coming.

Izzy if you OV in 2.5 days can you please ask your acupuncturist to give me next weeks Lotto numbers too .

NYD glad to hear your pregnancy is progressing well. Enjoy the rest of it and a beautiful baby to come!

spilt I just realised that we are almost coming to the end of the thread and you are PG as predicted as the thread starter.

Hello fedup and LadyG!

Hi ladies. Only 1 episode of spotting today - first thing this morning when I went to the loo. Still feel pg. Sore boobs and feeling sick. Safe to say I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

Sorry not to name check ( feel the same about cramps nix !) thank you all so, so much for the kind words and hugs. 3pm tomorrow I'll know either way. Fingers firmly crossed please xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
