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!!

Congrats Tory x Well, I've baffled the hell out of FF, after beginning to think this was going to be an anovulatory cycle, it seems to now think that I could have actually ov'd between day 18 & 25, I'm guessing this is because of the continuous row of negative OPKs. I have taken a relaxed approach to charting this month so havent been checking CM or CP, and have cheated by using the OPKs (although I promised digitalgirl that I would ditch them for the time being - sorry . Could I have really have ov'd this month??? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3 BTW the two spikes on day 24 & 25 are probably down to consumption of beverages of the alcoholic variety the night before

hmm,link aint working... www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3

ifat even if you cancel out day 24/25 that still gives you a nicely climbing chart...

You know what I'm going to say don't you? I fell pg 3 weeks after mc. All I'm saying is it can happen...

Let me know x

oh my goodness, I'm starting to panic now! If ov occurred before I started using the OPKs I would have been oblivious! I just assumed that at day 20 when I started testing that it was still too early following the M/C, but I could have actually missed it

...but SWI was well timed

Go and poas woman!!!

IfAt - don't panic!! It does look like you may have ovulated earlier than you thought you would have though! I'm going to be stalking your chart!!

Raven - I completely understand where you are at. Take care and drop by whenever you want but definitely when you get that BFP!!!

I'm just on the train home from London after a meeting there all day. I'm working again tomorrow morning but then in the afternoon I know DH has organised a suprise as a joint Valentine / birthday treat :) I have no idea what it is - could be trip to rugby or football or West End show or ... I don't know!! I'm getting quite excited!!

Oh yes! POAS!!!!!

How long are your cycles normally Ifatfirst? My cycle was about a week longer than normal after mc. But looking at your chart, it's definitely possible that you ov'd around about the same time as those wonky temps!

What you going to do?

poas ifatfirst :)

Adding to the IfAtFirst POAS chanting!! FMU tomorrow please - will be logging on first thing for the results!

Bloody second +ve OPK today, it always throws me as not sure when I am OV-ing, need to keep SWI-ing now which is fun but tiring!

Night all.

Yipee i have a new phone so will hopefully be able to keep up better! I'm the only one awake so am catching up with my obem viewing. It never fails to amaze me the change in a womans face from just before to just after the baby is born.

Have you poas yet ifatfirst? No pressure at all on here!!

Hope the swi'ing is going well terrys!

Big waves to everyone else!

Blimey I only came in here to ask about my luteal phase! How exciting!

Hey guys,

Boy this thread moves quickly!

I wonder if I could ask you for your expert advice? ~I'm just on month two of charting.

This month my temp dipped down on CD12, had ECWM from CD9-12, we had sex on CD9,11, 12.

Then came under a lot of work stress, more so than is even ususal. Wasn't sleeping etc.

Temp climbed CD 13, 14 then dipped again. I'm now on CD16 with my lowest temp of the whole month.

Also had a little ECWM yesterday.

Could this mean i tried to ovulate but due to stressful time I didn't?

www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php?interface=0 and here's my chart, I think, if I have done it right...

Morning everyone, not much to report - on CD 9 and started the swi - generally I ov on day 10 or 11.

Hello to everyone that I havent had a chance to introduce myself to as well!!

Raven - take care and hopefully we will see you soon x

the pippy - Ive been temping since I started ttc last August, and am a poor sleeper, sleep deprivation can have an affect as I think you are meant to get a straight 3 hours sleep at least, which I never do. Luckily it doesnt seem to affect me - Im always up for the toilet during the night as well, even after an hour and a half maybe of sleep I take my temp at 5 and its always shown ov temp rise pattern. Different for everyone I guess.

folicacid - your link seems to show me my chart for some reason.

Morning! Just off to work before suprise from DH this afternoon :)

IfAtFirst - no pressure, but any news??!

FolicAcid - sorry, your link seemed to take me to my own chart. However your theory could be right - keep on with the SWI :)

Hello to everyone else - sorry not to NC further but on phone.

Ah sorry, I clearly don't even know how to copy and paste a link, let alone chart my fertility

Oh to ovulate on day 10/11 Newgolddream! I'm more like day 17/18 and it makes for such a long cycle .

Folic - I think keep going. Sometimes circumstances make it impossible to know what's going on. My temp is hugely affected by stress/alchohol/disturbed sleep. I find it all quite interesting.

I think it's time for clear blue ovulation whatsits. At least I would know what a smiley face means!

Folicacid I'd persist with it. My first few charts were very weird and didn't seem to show the pattern I'd been told to expect. I think it was probably due to me just having come off the pill. My cycles have fallen into the textbook pattern now after nine months or so of charting.

ochaye - oh I know - on the plus side its quick - but then I seem to end up with 22 day cycles which I worry are too short as opposed to your longer ones lol.

Reading about the OPKs made me remember I bought some last month (in the hope I wouldnt need them!), will need to fish them out, I should have started before this.

folicacid - your link should have a number in it I think if that helps, I cant remember how I did mine but Ive got a copy of my number now.

No news here guys I'm afraid. Temp took a nose dive, but I did have crappy night sleep. PO2S this morning (OPK & PG) both neg. So FF friend has gone back to thinking that I havent OV'd at all yet! Sorry to dissapoint you all :(

Oh that's a shame IfAtFirst and we all got our cheerleading outfits ready! Isn't it strange how a normally rational woman can get so excited over another's peeing habits?

FolicAcid you need to go to 'sharing' on the left hand menu the 'home page set up' and copy the address that appears in the box into a link on here, so we can stalk check your chart and give you our thoughts!

For me, drinking gives me a spike if I drink a lot and have a shorter than usual sleep. I usually discard those temps. I'm lucky enough to sleep well most of the time but have noted any sleep deprived nights I have had. FF usually puts these in a hollow circle, meaning they are unreliable, so if you have a lot of those it might struggle to confirm ovulation as it likes regular and reluable data!

So I'm now 11DPO and my chart is looking exactly like all of my others with a gradual temp decline leading up to my period. Due on Tuesday so is looking like another month of failure. I'm tempted to go to see our GP as I now have 6 months of settled charts showing that I am definitely ovulating every month and I know we've timed SWI well. I've not had 12 actual cycles of TTC yet as I struggled with long cycles for a while so have only had conforming 27-29 day cycles for about 8 months. Even if the GP won't do anything yet, I figure it can't do any harm.

Sorry for mememe ramble there, got a bit carried away!

Thanks all for words of just keep going, and Truffkin for your help with sharing. I think I've got it licked:

From your description I also think it could be down to all the hollow circles. I've not been sleeping great and like I said stressed out.

Looks like I'm unrealiable! i went to boots today and spent £37.99 on a clear blue ov kit and 20 strips. Still in wrapper though so can return it.
