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

Sodding thing has changed it's mind again

here

I decided to just mark in the approximate week in which I was gooey (as best as I can remember). I should probably stop playing!

Gah!

I have cracked and POAS. BFN.

I was really nervous putting the stick in the wee pot in case it was positive. Now it's negative I am sad and disappointed.

POAS does something weird to me, I always seem to want a positive even when I don't really.

Roll on next month, I want to make this happen now!

Aw Spilt, I think given how far along you were day 22 to ov is very unrealistic anyway so I bet you didn't ov then, hon. Your hcg would prob have taken a while to get back to normal and your hormone chain prob has only just kicked back in. Hopefully you'll get AF within a week or two and be able to get back on with things!

I might have accidentally POAS this morning. BFN obv. Idiot. I didn't get a pos til 14dpo last time when I was pg!

Thanks Lady. Should be AF within about 4 days I think as I have become a raging premenstrual git today. I had forgotten what that feels like, but checking my previous charts it usually meant AF about 4 days later. At least I will know where I am then. It's this uncertain guesswork that I hate.

How many days DPO are you today? Can't be more than about 9 surely?

Spot on. 9 today. Was very foolish. Chart [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2fee7f
here]]. Am sooo crampy though and boobs are so sore. Could be one of two things

Hope AF comes soon for you x

A very beautiful chart I must say. Shows promise. Now you just need to step away from the tests for a few days!

It is sickening how being just pregnant and being premenstrual feel exactly the same. I had my worst period pain the month I got my BFP. It does make for a tense and delusional 2ww usually!

Interesting article about the timing of sex, chances of pg etc.

Despite my temps remaining high, FF still does not confirm ov! here

However, when I change it to the research method, it says I ov on day 22 - which is about what I thought. hey ho, keep on truckin.
This time next week or so I should know as AF will be due.

mrsa have you ever thought about taking agnus castus? It seems you have a slow-rise in progesterone with such a slow increase in temps. AC is supposed to be v helpful for balancing hormones. Can take a couple of cycles to kick in. You stop taking it after a bfp.

lady do I detect the beginnings of a, dare I say it, triphasic shift?

Haven't blubbed today. That's got to be a good sign. Also cervix is feeling like it does before it turns fertile. Hoping will ov within next couple of weeks. In fact may get back on the AC myself.

hello everyone :)

have been absent for a few days as seem to be permenantly knackered - but have been reading all your posts:)

terrys sorry af got you - I hope you are guzzling some wine somewhere :)

mrsa I suposse the only way you will know what the hell is going on is when af does (or doesn't:) ) arrive x

digi glad to hear no crying today sounds positive, and a step forward :)

split I know what you mean about pg symptoms being the same as af - I always thought af was coming before I got my bfp.

ladyG day 9???? mind you - I got my bfp on day 10 last time (and tested from about day 8 - fingers crossed for you xxx

I had my 2nd acupuncture session today which was good. She used this herb thing which smelt like pot so I ended up smelling like a drug dealer all day..... I have had lots of ov signs over the past few days - lots of pain last night and this morning my temps are up. So on that basis I have arranged a flight to germany for exactly one month so fingers crossed I fall back into my normal regular cycle

Hope everyone is ok - and having a good weekend xxx

Thanks for the article, Spilt Very interesting.

Hard to tell with a slow rise MrsA but def there or thereabouts. You def put the effort in so hope it all pays off!

Oooh, thanks Digi, do you think so? Will have to see what happens in morning.
Glad you are starting to feel a bit more yourself.

Still looking good Lady

Battery fingers crossed that your dates work out next month. It must be an absolute nightmare trying to second guess your body. If only he could leave you a full turkey baster to administer when necessary!

Who said romance is dead?

We were a bit like that, battery although less extreme as DP only in Leeds which is only a couple of hours away - he's here with me now though 80% of time . It's blooming hard. But worth remembering sperm will live a few days so in with a better chance. Will you be together over Christmas for a while - will that be during the sexy time?

Two week wait going on FOREVER! You end up wishing your life away. Going to hold out to test again. Hate the BFN's.

Sorry some of you are having such a pants time, and sorry AF finally got you MrsA after teasing you.

FF has confirmed my OV day which coincides with the twinges I was getting on Thursday.
Am feeling pretty positive this month, as we seem to have covered all bases :) www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3

Hey ladies, just popping in to say hello.

Hope all is well. Still no temp shift for me - boo!

So sick of the sight of my husband!!

xxxxxxxxx

Right I think I am sorted now, looks like AF has begun. Mysterious cycle over and fingers crossed there will be some sense of normality now.

I probably only had a 7 day LP this time, but knowing that's what you had on your WTF cycle Lady makes it less worrying.

I was very brave and had my thyroid antibodies blood test today (I have always been a needle wuss and have cried/passed out on previous occasions but today coped fine, thank goodness. Maybe I am developing some guts!)

How is everyone else?

woooooooooooooo hooooooooooo

I am stalking LadyG's chart!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wahaaaay!! Congratulations Lady, you naughty girl I thought you were holding out to test?!

So so pleased for you, and wishing you a healthy uneventful 8 months.

Stay put little bean!

Spilt your chart looks almost identical to my WTF cycle.

But just to let you know it can work out. Because....I was naughty and tested again this morning. And BFP!!! 11dpo.

I am quite nervous about it because of what happened last time but going to try and relax and enjoy it as I can't really do much to affect the outcome.

Cross post!

Oh wow, contrats Lady here's hoping it's well and truly stuck!

My chart is here
Nothing to report yet, still too early - My LP have been between 10 and 12 days, so it's another 3 to 5 days at least before I'll start hoping.

LadyG so pleased for you (and of course very very !)

I hope it stays well and truly stuck for the next 8 months. Are you off to join July AN or August, which would it be?

I am quite to see you go as you were my first charting friend and answered all my questions, but I don't want to see you back here! Unless its to tell us all about your bump!!

I will prob stick around anyway as enjoy chart stalking and want to get some good news from you ladies!

It is due 28th July but don't think I'll join the antenatal yet until I'm more confident about it. Was a bit horrible last time as didn't know anyone in the group very well. Having to tell them I'd lost it and really felt like most people hardly knew who I was much less cared. So will leave that for a while and jump on later. I might even join August as I hate being the last one in the month!

I can understand that LadyG. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed (but not legs ) that I can join the August AN myself.
