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

Hello all

Not been on MN for a whole 24 hours as we had a dinner party last night. I was pretty proud to have 5 people over but I feel distinctly outshone by GetDown

mouse I am sorry that you are bleeding, I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for you and hope for good news. xxx

battery 2ww is slow isn't it!! FX this is your last one.

Nix sorry about the lurgy, I think its a good sign though as you are now the weak one in your body. Someone else is getting the good stuff now!

Izzy I hope you get your crosshairs tomorrow. I would say that if 7am is your usual time then use that one as you did sleep for 2.5 hours before taking it. I'm sure FF would advise to use that one.

spilt can't believe you are still temping - naughty naughty!!

I finally have big boobies!! Woo hoo My tummy is huge already, not sure I will be able to hide this for much longer, I'm hoping its just a bloated today but already had one friend ask if I am PG as my tummy looked bigger. I'm quite slim so it pokes out more now!

((( nix ))) hope you feel better soon xx

Iwish I'm no expert on opks but it sounds like you're gearing up for ov, fingers crossed!

battery - symptoms sound promising!

getdown and terrys thanks for looking at my chart, I suppose it's not the end of the world if I ov now (only day 18 - not that late for me! - but it goes against all my opks/monitors etc. Suppose I'd better carry on swi-ing just in case

afternoon ladies. out last night so feeling fragile but bizarely, my temps not up yet and I have more EWCM on cd27!!
Am on the verge of disowning my body. Every cycle my ov day gets later and later.
I did expect temps to be up as was drinking last night but they only crept up - and even when I (yes, stupid of me) took my temp again at 10.30am, it had dropped not gone up.

Go figure.

Hope everyone is not too snowed in and feeling good. We were supposed to go the an outdoor carol concert but only got as far as the local farm shop.

Anyway, sorry to not say hi to everyone - DP currently cooking tea and DD watching peppa so snuck on here but must dash..

Chart here

Glad your knockers are fine huh spilt

My knickers are too - for the time being anyway

Feeling like death

Took ages to convince myself it was ok to take paracetamol! DS has been asleep all afternoon and i have just plonked him in my bed for the night :( hes obviously not got rid of it yet!

Phew, I am knackered. DH does a youth group at church, and it was 17 of the young people that came for roast dinner.

I have to confess, DH did most of the work, but still feeling knackered! Something about hosting just stresses me out! Having to smile and be chatty and attentive to everyone all the time. Arrrrggh!

Maybe it is the stress delaying ov. for me who knows? Just did an OPK as I got the tiniest tiniest little bit of stretchy CM just now (I mean I'm talking a blob about 2mm x2mm ) but surprise surprise it was negative.

MrsA I know how you feel re, disowning your own body. Mine just doesn't seem to want to ov this cycle. And thanks Iwish - sorry your's is being confusing too. It's frustrating isn't it?

Glad to hear the pregnant ladies are feeling nice and symptom-y

Hi battery my lines on opks have completely dissapearded now. They were pretty dark yesterday but not even a faint line today! Not got as much ewcm either. Just a small amount this am.
When are you going to test?

Hi Split thanx, wish my body would sort itself out now lol! Oooh 5 weeks! How exciting! But :( about your dream last night.

Hi terrys. Hope you enjoyed your dinner party and glad you have big boobies now haha!

Hi izzy thanks, hope it happens soon. And I hope you can get a bit more energy for SWI just in case. Ii know how you feel tho, trying to persuade DP is my task - we dont usually dtd this often

Hi mrsa you tell your body you will disown it if it doesn't sort itself out! I hope you find out what's happening soon and :( you didn't get to the carol concert.

Hi nix hope you are feeling better. I've had a sodding cough and what feels like razor blades on my throat for a couple of days and have just started with a snotty nose so I can't imagine how crap you must feel.

I have just been on a website called portable north pole where you can make a video from Santa to your kids. It's amazing! My friend sent me the video she made for her daughter - well I was in tears!! I've cried at everything recently.
Sorry if I have missed anyone.

Sorry getdown cross post! Yes it is v frustrating but I hope it will be our month this month!

iwish it might just be that your body is gearing up for ov and then delaying it for some reason?

Just wanted to say to ladyg and mouse good luck for scans this week - mouse I hope you are ok xxx

iwish I am not going to test till about friday - I am due on on Christmas day but we are off out on Christmas eve so I need to know before hand if it is ok for me to have a drink or two. Clearly I would rather be pg than drinking wine, but we will see.
Is anyone else testing this week?

Iwish I just googled Portable North Pole and made a video for DS. Its so cute, thank you!!

Possibly battery. Silly body get your act together. Poor DP wants a rest from SWI haha. You'll have to tell us if you get your bfp, hope you do :).

No worries terrys it's fab isn't it. I was looking at it at the MILs. We were on the subject of babies, she can't wait to be a nana. You'll have to tell me what your DS thought of it :)

Hi ladies, I'm ok thanks. No more spotting since yesterday's incident. I feel v pregnant - sore boobs, sick and achey so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I did consider moving the scan forward but I want to give myself the best possible chance of seeing the heatbeat (please god).

I'm totally with you on the knicker checking - it's becoming an obsession. I was never like this before - isn't it sad what a mc will do...

Sorry for not namechecking am watching the apprentice 20 minutes behind... xx

Hi mouse I hope everything goes ok at scan and I'm pleased you have no more spotting :)

Do any of you get cramps and sore boobs from around OV? It seems I get this every month until af arrives! V annoying and would like to know if i'd still get them if I was pg.

Lady just wanted to wish you all the best today, I'm sure it will be terrifying! Hope you get good news and would love to know how you get on when you're ready to tell us.

Mmm experiencing some brown tinged discharge and having had a fever I am quite worried! Gonna see if I can speak to doc and get referred to epu :(

Oh nix (((hugs))) hope it's nothing love. Fingers crossed for you today xxxx

Big big (((hugs))) nix - it's probably nothing but definitely go and get checked to put your mind at rest. Deep breaths chica - let us know how you get on xx

Btw girls - here's my chart. I didn't put in yesterdays confusing temps but today's were nice and high so I've got my crosshairs. I also got a neg opk yesterday so am thinking day 15 is defintely right - which is good since we were too tired and fed up with it all to swi last night so it just ended in a row . Sometimes ttc is really rubbish!

ladygonegaga good luck for today - hope it goes well x

Morning all

Nix try not to worry but I hope the EPU can see you and put your mind at ease. xxx

LadyG do you have a scan today?? Ohhh, FX for you and waiting to hear good news!

Izzy gald you got your crosshairs, SWI is tough but I hope you and DH can have a nice cuddle tonight safe in the knowledge that the men in are place!

So, big question to PG ladies - have you had the flu jab and if so when? If not, do you intend to have it before 12 weeks, after, or not at all?? I have an appointment this afternoon but not sure whether I should?!!?

Doc seems unconcerned for now unless it gets darker or red! And then will send me to epu.

....... Hello.

Am feeling very sick - am either pg or am about to catch the lurgy. Think it might be lurginess - am completely stressed that DP wasn't going to get home for xmas - seeing that he has to fly into stanstead, but he has booked a ferry to hull now so I can breath out a bit.

nix my friendd has had brown discharge all the way and she just had her 20 week scan revealing a healthy boy :)

Good luck ladyg.

Must dash - at work and will be sacked xxx

Morning all.

LadyG hope all goes well today and you can have a lovely relaxing xmas.

Nix brown discharge is very normal - listen to your doc and try not to worry (as always, easier said than done I know).

All you other pg ladies, esp mouse, hoping all ok.
Terrys if it were me I'd have the jab. DD had it last Feb, no prob. Flu, proper flu, is very very nasty - anyone who can manage to get out of bed and says they have flu is lying!
However, your call. I'm 38 and have only ever had flu once in my life.

Things a bit better today (Izzy cd aside, we are very similar with our temps!) Have had good rise today but no cross hairs yet. Hoping tomorrow temp will still be up and I'll get em. DP and I managed our 8th SWI last night but am bloody knackered.

Could someone have a look and see if you think I've ov on cd24 or cd26 please?
I read TCOYF and she refers to fall-back rise just after ov but also that spotting around ov is a sign of super fertility that cycle (I spotted cd26).
I think what's throwing ff off is my +ve opk on cd 25 but I have a feeling that may have been tailoff from the day before and I missed the really strong +ve.

Ta and hope all not too cold or snowed in! Some of the tales of people having xmas cancelled is awful.

Chart here

Hi all. I am off work today because I was too scared to do the drive! Am going to have to take it as A/L. Quite nice in a way, as I've done lots of wrapping this morning!

I am soooo tired. We DTD last night but I just could not sleep afterwards and was still awake at 5am Think I only got 1 or 2 hours in the end

An annoying side effect of DTD for me seems to be insomnia. Don't know why, it's so frustrating.

MrsA glad to see it's looking like you've ov'd. U would say that you ov'd on CD24 with a fall back rise. See what FF says tomorrow, and hopefully you will get another high temp.

battery looking at your chart, you could well be having symptoms by now. You had a dip at 8DPO which could have been an implantation dip... exciting!!! Will be watching your chart with interest

Terrys I would say, like MrsA says, prob best to have the flu jab. It's been shown to be safe hasn't it? and to have actual flu would be hideous, especially if all you could take was paracetamol.

LadyGG hope your scan goes well today!

Izzy so sorry to hear that you ended up in a row last night It's awful the stress of DTD isn't it? Hopefully you can have a breather now, looks like your in the 2ww my dear! You've got some well time action there so you've done all you can. Just a waiting game now.

nix sorry to hear about the brown discharge, but hopefully it is nothing. It's good the doctor didn't seem too concerned. It think brown blood is not too worrying in early preg, remember the little bean is burrowing in still and it may have produced a little old blood that is just finding its way out.

Waves to Iwish spilt and Mouse - hope you are all doing ok today xxx

MrsA sorry for the typo, that was supposed to say "I would say that you ov'd on CD24 with a fall back rise"

Good luck ladyg for today, hope it goes well.

nix hope you are ok and hope it's just nothing

mouse hope you are ok today :)

izzy you are right, sometimes it is rubbish! Our last 2 months I would say we ended up sulking at eachother a couple of times. If only the whole thing were easier! Hope you are ok today.

Oooh battery I hope sickness is due to pg and not the dreaded lurgy fx for you :)

terrysand split hope you are both ok today too :)

hello to everyone else

chart doesn't look v exciting today. Flipping cm has dissapeared and cervix seems to be closing back up and is now quite firm and low.
