Charter's Anonymous: Volume 4, hoping our bodies obey the rules!

[MrsArchchancellorRidcully]

Brand new shiny thread created (sorry Getdown, I am bored at work )

Hoping that all of us still waiting get the news we want and soon!!

At least it's almost New Year, new start

PMSL Terrys My DH has informed me that is the case for him as well, personally I think it is an excuse he rolls out when he's too tired and had enough of SWI!

Ravenlocks I put temps in there, it was just that I was ill and they were very high so I marked that I had a fever.....do you think I should just replace these with normal temps then?

Tory xx

Woohoo - thanks for the tip Raven I put in some fake average temps and it is now saying cd15 for ov on both opk and advanced methods of interpretion!

terrys thats funny! How do they know things like that?!?! Give him some fish oil, supposedly increases the volume Its not the volume that counts, its the no of swimmers within

GD i will be GOBSMACKED if you aint pg when you poas looking at that chart!

battery hopeful of lots of action for you this weekend x

Hi all.

Just wanted to pop on to say I hope getdown gets a BFP tomorrow. Fingers and toes crossed for you xx

OMG. That's a line.

It's quite early as I woke up at 6 to take my temp and had to get up to check it - 36.7 or less, AF on her way. 36.8 or more I would test.

It was 36.95!! Eeek!

Took a test, waited an agnoising 3 minutes (had to hold the instruction leaflet over my face so I couldn't look ) Still conviced not pg as no symptoms.

Then looked and the test and a great BIG FAT POSITIVE! Can't believe it! I have no symptoms whatsoever!

Can't go back to sleep so just had to get on here and tell you all.

Still shaking.

And I had a glass of wine last night. Ooops

Wake up everyone!!!

Just checked and OMG!!!! Getdown that's fab!!! So pleased for you (alongside the usual envy and thoughts of 'everyone else but me' but hey ho that won't distract from my good thoughts for you.

Remind us, to give me hope, how long you ttc and what did you do differently this cycle?

But, seriously, that's so so ace. What was DH's reaction? :)

I wouldn't worry about the wine. It takes a while for the bean to start getting it's nutrition from you.

Have you worked out your due date yet?

Hi MrsA thanks so much, and I totally understand the feeling of "when will it be my turn?" Am so sorry, I know it feels crap. You are doing everything right, I'm sure you will get lucky soon.

I have been charting almost exactly a year, but started TTC properly in September (had to get off some medication first).

I took Evening Primrose Oil this cycle which seemed to improve EWCM.

Told DH - he said "Oh that's great" then rolled over and went back to sleep to be fair it was 6am

Have kind of worked out due date but a bit scared because of the MC last time....

Sorry, I had forgotten about your MC. When was it? And go on, what's the due date(ish)?

but congrats again!

September 17th!!

Sorry that was due date, not MC. MC happened in October.

Getdown congrats!!!!!! That's fantastic news!!!!!

Woohoo!!! Congrats Getdown!! that's fab news xx

Off to buy evening primrose oil :)
Assume it's different from vit b commplex?

And due date of 17 Sept - awww. That's DD's birthday. Her due date was 20th sept.

Not relevant, just in reflective mode. I have to face up to the fact that we've been trying since Aug and not a snifter of a bfp despite charting.

Think we'll have to go to docs at end of Feb :(

Sorry, being very mememe. Still happy for you getdown! :)

GetDown that's fantastic! So so happy for you

Oh MrsA 17th sep is your DD's birthday!

It's fine to feel reflective and you're not being mememe at all. You know I am just the same. The thing is, I know it feels like an eternity but trying since August is not that long you know. It could well happen very soon. It's very normal for couples with normal fertility to take a year to conceive.

One other thing, I don't know if it was coincidence (probably was) but on the day of my ov, DH drank some strong proper coffee (normally he doesn't drink it) as it was boxing day and my mum had made some. I did read somewhere that a caffeine kick for the men can make the swimmers, errm, swim faster??? Don't know if it helped but there we go. (Caffeine to be avoided by us ladies though I think).

Evening primrose oil is different from b vits. Think it can help with oestrogen levels (sometimes given to menopausal women to ease their symptoms of falling oestrogen levels). Hence why it helps with EWCM

Thank you to Iwish and Izzy!!!

thank you to spilt!!

Wow, congrats Getdown!! So pleased for you, you deserve it so much!

Think I might have ov'd yday. Now just need to wait for my cross hairs....

Hi mrsa don't worry about the mememe post, it needs to be said sometimes to get it out of your system. if it makes you feel any better at all (which I suspect it won't) we have been trying since august too and I know how you feel, it's so frustrating that you gave been doing everything right but still no baby. I have been hoping, praying and wishing it's our month so fingers crossed x

Also wishing it is my month, been trying since April.

Aww raven hun, I hope it's your month too. :) x
