Charter's Anonymous: Volume 5, those BFPs are ours!!

[Iwish]

Well here we are on volume 5!! Plenty of room for growing bumps and stashes of Thermometers and pee sticks!!

This thread WILL bring BFPs, everything crossed ladies apart from your legs!!

Have been chart stalking and we have some amazing charts - digi, that is one hell of a temp rise!

My periods have been very light the last few months - such a difference from when I wasn't TTC! So now I am worried about my lining. FFS, I am annoying myself now. Also my pee is luminous yellow from the supplements!

Just CD5 here, nothing interesting to report.

mrsden I know exactly what you mean. Been trying for five months and mentally prepared tto be in it for the long haul, but when a friend falls pregnant it is gutting and lovely at the same time. Part of it is wanting to TTC for a long before the process actually starts - I was at fever pitch before we even started trying, which makes the waiting worse! My best friend is completely non-maternal and has never wanted kids but I have a sneaky suspicion she is TTC - and a friend who I was joking with about being pregnant together has just had her baby. It sucks.

meh. work = too much time to think.

Have now imagined myself some tender boobs. I am bfing DS so my boobs do occasionally feel odd, this has not stopped me from logging on to FF and recording it.

Hello all!

tory I am taking 1000mg of EPO as well. I am on CD17 and haven't ovd yet which is normal but I was hoping it would be earlier this month.

Sorry not been around much on here, been busy SWI-ing and just trying not to obsess about the whole TTC thing too much.

I am quietly stalking all of you in the 2ww wait though and have my fingers crossed for you!

Hi everyone! I've been MIA for ages ... but have been checking up on you every day. All set for my phone upgrade in a week or so then I'll be able to keep up.

There are some really amazing charts at the moment! I'm just bookmarking everyone for some proper stalking so if you haven't recently posted your chart, please do!

I have finally reached the end of my horrendous WTF cycle - 37 days of torture. For once I'm glad af has arrived. I feel like I can start afresh now.

good luck for this cycle ochaye. :)

mouse - I'll be honest with you, after my 2 mcs, I was similar to Digi. Petrified of getting pg but didn't want to contemplate the scenario of not being pg at all.

My rollercoaster year was BFP Feb, MMC April, BFP May, MMC June, BFP Sept, DS arrived May!
This also means though, don't despair after more than one mc - it can happen!
I did spend the first trimester trying to control my worry levels but I got an early scan at 8wks as well as the 12wk scan which helped.

Sorry, I've rambled again but hope that helps.

digi - thank you for the explanation. That's the best explanation I've come across :)

ochaye - hello! Yay for the end of your WTF cycle.

jaggy - I'm also still BFing DS and get sore boobs from ovulation til AF anyway! How old is your DS?

MrsDen - just like a punch in the stomach. Yes, I'm pleased for friends when they tell me they are pg but also so jealous.
You are not the worst friend in the world, just human.

he is 16mo essence and hopefully behaving for his Daddy.

feels like I've not worked an evening for ages and DS is so much more aware of what's going on now - hope he's not giving Dh hassle!

I don't get noticeably sore boobs I don't think, did get sensitive nipples a couple of times though.

I also get v sensitive nipples around ovulation. My DS is 20mo and normally just has a bedtime feed.
DH normally does bedtime on a Tuesday and manages cuddles, singing and watching ITNG on the iPad to get him asleep. When I'm around, none of those work as he just wants BF!

Im in the US until Friday lunchtime from tomorrow. I'm curious what I should do about charting/temp's i'm the first week of my 2ww, so I guess it's not majorly important... but you know...

Gosh, that was a lot to catch up on, sorry if I miss anything

Hey Newgolddream temp is back up this morning and about from spotting no AF. I'm sure it's coming though. Last cycle LP was 8 days using just OPK's and if AF tomorrow it will be 8 again. Chart here

fx for your temp tomorrow digital

hope DS gets back into sleeping well again jaggy

Mrsden hugs, hope AF doesn't turn up and your feelings are very understandable, it doesn't make you a bad friend.

Hugs mouse hope tomorrow is a better day.

Hi essence, kateepie, angster, Karbea, MrsA, Harder, MrsP81, ochaye and anyone else I've missed.

essence I am guessing the Waybuloo DVD might be on tonight...I think DH just cuddles him on his knee till he conks out. :)

DS has morning and bedtime feeds and sometimes one before or after his lunchtime nap if I am around. He usually has a cup of cow's milk OK for DH if I am at work for his bedtime. I work shifts and he has been very adaptable to me being out at different times so far.

Thanks essence that's reassuring

Why am I watching one born every minute?!

Hi everyone, thank you for the welcome a few days ago, sorry I haven't been back earlier.

I've been trying not to obsess so much this time (now embarking on my 4th 2ww which I know isn't many compared to a lot of peeps) as I spotted every imaginary symptom possible last month.

I've only been charting for a few days so don't really have a clue at the moment how it's all looking. Next month I'll have a whole month of charting so hopefully it'll be clearer! In the meantime I'll keep studying all of your charts to try to understand it all!

Ooh! Thanks for the reminder mouse, I must go and torture myself watch too :)

Hello again VintageNancy!

I greet watching OBEM every time. (is greet only used in Scotland to mean cry? thought of that after typing!)

DS's birth was somewhat of a blur and ended in emcs so i get all emotional watching babies pop out!

Hello essence, mouse and jaggy - I'm watching OBEM too.

I don't watch obem, that would be torturing myself. I watch Glee instead.

That woman is so annoying!!

Very annoying!! V similar birth to the one I had with DS as he was transverse breech so did bring a tear to my eye.
Amelia and her mum were great though!

I never thought I'd be so pleased to get a BFN!! www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3

sorry for the brief message, just nipping on to laptop, will catch up properly tomoz :)

jaggy I cry every time I watch OBEM as like you I ended up with an em c-section with DD (coupled with a strep B infection)

Still feel like I failed somehow, 2.5 yrs on. Hey ho.

MrsA yeah, i know what you mean. i was really upset for quite a while, mostly ok now, but hate not being able to remember what happened for a lot of the time!

good news today - DS slept ok :)

bad news - temp is down. :( i did have to take it an hour early, woke up for some season. does that mean i can add a bit on based on yesterday's discussion?

chart today :(

on phone again so will just say hi for now and stalk some charts later...

reason not season!
