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

mouse hugs to you and I will be thinking of you at 3pm tomorrow with fingers and toes crossed. Let us know how it goes. xxx

I second you Terrys - will be thinking of you at 3pm tomorrow mouse. Was the spotting brown?

Hope everything is ok. It's good you still have strong symptoms.

xxx

getdown we think she jumped down off something and has done something to her back leg - she is no better after a week so she is in for xrays tomorrow. So glad she is insured. I can not bear it when she is ill, she is such a lovely cuddly cat, it's horrible to see her in pain.

We put up our tree today - it is a real one:) - I have never had a real one before. it is seriously huge and takes up most of the room - but I love it :)

I have to confess that just in case I got my ov dates wrong - myself and dp had a quick SWI this afternoon. I pit the roasties in the oven, turned on the cabbage to boil and nipped upstairs . But needs must- romance is pushed aside when you don't live together but are trying to concieve!

mouse 3pm tomorow I will give you a special little thought xx

Aww battery the poor puss cat! Hope she's not broken anything. It's good you've got insurance. We're with petplan for our dog and very glad about it too - she cut her paw on a piece of glass last year and needed a general anaethetic - would have cost over £400 had we not been insured . It seems like a lot of money each month to pay, but the peace of mind is worth it.

Hope she gets better soon. It may just be a muscle sprain. They can take a good few weeks to heal.

We put our tree up today too (but not a real one!) Got new lights this year which are lovely and sparkly.

re your SWI in the time it takes cabbage to boil Why not?! Can't hurt!

this month we are going to try and carry on SWI till I see the temp shift confirmed. I think last month we just did it until the OPK went negative, and wonder now if we stopped too early.

Monday again tomorrow Work again Ah well, birthday this week!

Yep, still brown. More like coloured cm than blood. I wouldn't describe it as blood. I keep thinking it might be because dh and I had sex on wed night which was v uncomfortable (made him stop) I felt v sore afterwards. Ugh. Hate the not knowing. xxx

well that sounds ok mouse much less scary than red bleeding. Sorry to hear that sex was painful./... could be a bit of bleeding from cervix then maybe?? Hope you can have lots of nice warm cuddles instead for a while.

here

Morning- a very quick post whilst I am nearly out of the door. Can I get some advice on my chart? FF says I ov'd on cd15 -but I think it was cd 16 - I had a positive opk on cd16 and lots of ov pain. Also my temp on cd 16 was largely due to wine I think.
I know it doesn't really matter but a day either way is important when you have to book travel around your ov dates!

ta in advance xx

mouse just wanted to say I will be thinking of you this afternoon. All the best xx

battery I would have said cd15 based on your chart, but if you think the cd16 temp is throwing things out, have you tried discarding it and seeing what difference it makes?

Here's my chart

Any thoughts? I'm actually thinking today might be a "rogue" temp as it seems early and CBFM still on high not peak (and I'm slightly worried we missed the window if it was really early!) - what do you think?

battery my inexperienced eye says 15 too, but i am not sure. I think your temp on CD15 throws it out. Izz thats a great hike for you lovely :) an early ov? Hope you both got plenty of action in.... battery PMSL at the cabbage. No romance in it for us either when TTC, hes lucky if i put on a frilly pair of nicks

mouse could it be cervix erosion? always bleed when i get a smear or something like that which interferes, maybe you caught it during sex. One of the other bfp'ers on another thread had the same, caused by SFF! Heres hoping babexxxxx One thing i know for sure when i had MC all my symptoms disappeared over night, fab that you are sick xxx Good luck for later will be in my thoughts xx

getdown i am rubbish at cervix interpretation also! I relied on temps,OPKS and that was it. Your cervix will feel open if you have delivered vaginally previously (mine constantly feels like it has a hole init!) so feels diff than the books suggest. FX for you this month

battery if you were drinking loads on CD15, then the high temp on CD 16 may well be misleading. If you got a strong +ve OPK on CD16 it seems unlikely (though not impossible) that you've ov cd15. What does ff do if you ignore cd16?

Izzy is there any reason for high temps today eg were you drinking last last night? I always find that my temps are up the day after drinkig past about 9pm, whereas if I have a glass or 2 with tea at 6, it doesn't affect things. As I'm a late ov, I don't know if it's possible to ov early but I'm sure others here will have better views.

I am on cd21 and no temp rise yet. Having mild ov pain for the past few days and small amounts of ewcm - hoping for the next few days to produce result.
here
DP are SWI every other day till the weekend, so hoping to cover all bases.

Thanks for comments re my overlaid charts. I think my temps fluctuate so each cycle shows a clear shift, but put together they look wierd. I am hoping that a lack of prgesterone would mean a short LP. Not going down the docs route till Feb/March time I think.

Hi to all - mouse thinking of you today.

Hi all. Hope you are all well. There has been a lot of bfps on here recently, congrats to you all and good luck to those still ttc , must be a lucky thread. I have been on here briefly by never had much to say but now on month 5 and have started to chart so thought I would rejoin if that's ok with you lovely ladies and use up all your super knowledge.

I don't really know much about charting so my chart just looks like a chart to me so don't know what I'm looking for. Just wanted to know if OV is nearing.... My most recent cycles have been 27,25,26 and then a 32!! I think I ov'd around 13,11,12 and 18 on those.

Ooops my chart

Oh my goodness you lot sure can chat .

loads to read and no time to catch up properly.

Just wanted to say good luck to mouse it could well be due to uncomfrotable sex.

Still sounds very positive and brown is always better than red. With both my losses i had red blood. Will check in on you later.

Good luck, honey.

nix yes the temp rise does look impressive but way too early! mrsA I wish my social life was so full that I was out drinking on a Sunday but sadly this is not the case! However I do feel quite rough today and given that dd was sick all last week I wonder if I just have a high temp at the minute? If so I don't suppose there's any way of moderating for this on the chart and I'll just have to look at it as unreliable this cycle?! I am found CBFM as well though so hopefully that will help.

Sorry for short mememe post, sneakily typing under desk at work!

Hi girls! Hope you're all well. Will read back when I have a spare moment...terrible weekend: mil has degenerative kidney disease- was in pain, so spent the weekend at the hospital with her. Dh on a business trip in the USA.
Promise to namecheck later. Just really hope you girls are doing well. One thing is certain: you don't hang about do ya guys?!?

Hi there Fedup ... sorry to hear about your terrible weekend and being with your MIL in hospital. That is awful.

When does your DH get home? hope you will not be on your own too long.

hello everyone - just popping in to see if mouse has posted yet - a bit too early I think.

Iwish - Hi and welcome to our lucky thread :) Can you post any of your other charts at all? The reason I ask is that your LP (Luteal Phase) - the second part of your cycle from Ovulation to period should be the same every month ( I think!) so you should get a clearer idea. Temping will tell you when you have ovulated - not before. Other signs like your cervical fluid and cervix positon will tell you when you are gearing up for OV. I don't check my cervix but there are plenty of ladies on here that do and can give you advice! xx

Best dash - am at work

Hi! I'm here. No real news but I'm being rescanned in a fortnight. The doc said she 'wasn't worried' about my pregnancy which is probably the most reassurance you can get.

She could see the sac and a yolk which she said was positive but the was no heartbeat and no fetal pole but she said that was to be expected at 4 weeks post ov.

So, rescan on the 23rd. All fingers crossed please. I suppose it's 50/50 at the mo.

Right, next hurdle is telling DH tonight! I really hope we get the Christmas present we're hoping for.

Mouse xx

Am on train using virgin hotspot so just lurking but want to wish mouse lots of luck. Hope you enjoy telling DH tonight and that he gives you a much deserved hug!! :)

Thanks terrys how you feeling?

I've changed my mind about the 50/50 thing and am going to use the '1 in 4' statistic so that gives me a 75% chance of success. Yes, that sounds much better

mouse just checking to see how it went today, sounds positive - enjoy sharing your news with DH tonight. Everything crossed for the 23rd xx

Feeling ok thanks mouse but want to feel rubbish!! Took an Internet cheapie this morning and line was still v v faint so keep getting worried that it's a chemical PG . Off out for dinner with friends now, going to get there early so we can recruit the staff to translate my drink order from one beer to one alcohol free beer!!

Will post properly and name check tomrrow, iPhone on train making me feel a bit sick!

mouse that sounds like good news for now, and every reason to hope you'll see a little heartbeat on the 23rd. Hope it goes well telling DH. So are you 6 weeks now?
And by the way - what is dildo cam like? How big? (slightly nervous as I imagine my early scan will be one of those!). How does it compare to say a smear or an internal examination?

terrys honestly enjoy the ok bit. I reckon I've got 7-10 days if this is like the last time. I am making the most of it and eating everything I can lay my hands on!
I am also slightly embarrassed to report that I have turned into a loon. I had the cat on my lap and wanted to adjust my leg so lifted him a bit. He jumped off. I sobbed . Then DH hugged me and I remembered last time I was pregnant I cried when I saw a baby penguin on the TV who's mum had left it (little penguin was fine btw!). Remembering the penguin made me howl still more . The the man on the Eggheads was looking all confused and not sure what the answer was. I cried because he looked so sweet

fedup so sorry your MIL is so ill

Hello iwish. You've started reporting creamy CM which is usually the precursor to the really fertile EWCM so I would say you are gearing up but still have a few days to go. As battery say if you have any previous charts to add to your homepage it would help to get a sense of what your body does.

Right, dildo cam lo-down... It's quite long, with a condom over it and they use a little gel to help it go in. I found today's uncomfortable (like stinging) but today's was my 4th one and they've varied from v painful (whilst miscarrying) to only slightly uncomfortable (at the fertility clinic) I suppose it depends on who's doing it.

I would put them on a par with having a smear.

How you feeling spilt ?
