Charters Anonymous Volume 6. Charting and shagging our way to victory!

[MrsArchchancellorRidcully]

Volume 6 ladies. Come join us, new and old, and worship at the temple of EWCM, TCOYF, +ve OPKs and BBTs!

Congrats MrsA. Fab news!!

I am still hoping but my temps dropped even lower this morning. I fear the worst :(

YAY MrsA that's brill news! My temps are still right down,have no idea what'sgoing on now. Surely if was an implantation dip, it would actually dip and go back up rather than slide. Oh well, just have to wait and see........ www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3

Congrats!MrsA how wonderful

Congratulations MrsA!!!

Just popping in to add my congrats for MrsA - hope it sinks in soon!

I'm 13DPO and temp still well above the coverline, although that's normal for me until a few days before AF arrives. No symptoms at all to speak of although I've tried to coerce some in spite of boob prodding most days!

Good luck to my cycle buddies and remember it's not over til it's over!

MrsA what fabulous news i read! Congratulations!!! And i hope it is a keeper, sounded like your DD would be a fab little sis. Thanks for sharing your story and stay in touch.

I fear my cycle buddies, my temp has started to take the slide today and as I'm away for the weekend, i caved in and POAS and of course it was BFN. It seems AF is torturing with a long spotty wait this month, but am hoping she'll finally turn up tomorrow, so I can say hello to cycle 6 and tell cycle 5 to p**s off (useless!)

CD 36, 16dpo. No spotting or AF yet so I POAS. BFN . I just wish AF would turn up now so I can move on to trying again. I've never had a cycle longer than 35 days before.

Morning to everyone, Truffkin will you POAS soon?

Sorry for the BFN MrsDen

mrsden it's an absolute bum and I do sympathise. I had more of a smear than a spot of AF yesterday morning but then absolutely nothing since. I'm CD29 today (also 16DPO) which is pretty unheard of for me. I'm 99.9% sure I'm not pg but agree that I just wish that AF would turn up probably so I could get on with next month.

'properly'... doh

I'm sure our bodies like to play cruel tricks on us. Teds any sign of AF yet? What are your temps like? I keep running to the loo to check but nothing. I'm going to try and forget about it for the next of couple of days , I'm sure she will turn up when she's good and ready.

Mrsden it's horrible isn't it? It really messes with your head. At least if your body behaved and did what it was supposed to - good or bad news - it's a way of moving on. This limbo must be awful. I notice from your charts - are you using a BBT thermometer to s decimal places? It will give you a more accurate chart.

Well temps went back up again today and did a CB non digital HP test this morning. Stronger +ve, so I am happy. I think I'll temp a little while longer and then do invest in a digital one next week. As this is intended to be my last pg, I want to make the most of it.

Who else are we stalking - want this to be a good news thread!!

's' = 2

Well I have major nausea but I'm pretty certain that's down to the food poisoning. AF due Sunday so not sure there's much to see here.

I'm off on hols on Monday so going to ditch charting for the next cycle as can't cope with the time difference stuff.

Sorry for the BFN mrsden :( I don't know why our bodies mess us around so much. I had 5 months between coming off the pill and starting TTC and I swear the weirdness only started at TTC time.

Good news on the strong +ve MrsA :)

sorry mrsden :(

FX Truffkin :)

Limbo does suck and it is a shame we can't put our bodies in detention when they misbehave!

CD 13 here so just SWIing and waiting for ov and redundancy news !

Hi ladies

MrsA is it sinking in then? Are you sure you want to keep temping? You know you'll be worrying over ever little change?!

MrsDen It's a PITA when a cycle goes all ETF on you, I've had really long cycles in the past when we first started TTC and it's such a pain not knowing when things are 'supposed' to be happening. Saying that, I've also had a few very short cycles too and the surprise arrival of AF at the most inappropriate times is just as annoying! For me AF is due on Monday (according to me) or Saturday (according to FF) and we're away for the weekend so I'm going to wait and see if AF turns up. If not, I'll be POAS on Tuesday morning

Scrummy I don't think it's a BFP month for me wither so I'm fairly sure I'll be joining you at the start of a new cycle over the weekend. Nothing even remotely resembling a symptom for me, although my temps are still relatively high. To be honest, this is not unusual for me until the day before or even sometimes the day of AF starting. Who knows?!

Anyone else approaching POAS time? I'm with MrsA lwt's get some more BFPs please!

truffkin I'm keeping FX for you still and hope you have a great weekend away.

MrsA really great news. When do you plan to go and see your GP?

Weimy Have they said when they will inform people?

I'm lucky enough to have had fairly regular cycles, so can't even imagine how stressful it must be not knowing. Not that the regularity has helped with getting pg yet, but at least I know when to expect PMS, which I suffer from terribly now that I'm off the pill (it really affects my life and I even have to try and plan my working weeks accordingly as I turn to a nervous wreck). I really hope it sorts itself for you quickly MrsD

I'm sitting at airport and just heard a baby cry and started welling up myself...need a I think!

Before ttc I thought my cycles were regular, but I suppose that's because a few days either way is nothing when you're not obsessed! I've never had one more than 35 days that I can remember though so it is a bit strange and I really would have expected to have had some spotting by now.

Have a fab time scrummy a weekend away sounds lovely.

scrummy
we are in the 10 day consultation phase at the end of that if no alternatives come up we have to fill in a form where we get points for our answers and the form is taken to the board of govenors and they choose who stays and who goes.

There is a chance that I might be taken out of the media english drama pool, as I am a drama specialist, and this might mean I just loose hours rather than my job

Enjoy your weekend scrummy! I guess I'll go and see my GP next week. I'm not relishing it though. I was classed as high risk with DD (even though iI felt I was OK) and subjected to a barrage of tests which all turned out fine.
I ended up with a highly medicalised, quite horrific labour and birth, which I still have isues with today, so feel like I'm about to do battle with the medical world!

But it'll be worth it and I've learnt lessons.

I know I need to stop temping but still can't bring myself too just yet...............

Hello everyone... hope you don't mind me jumping in but I need some advice from you charting experts! Have just read TCOYF and wish I'd read it earlier - thought I knew how to chart but have been getting it wrong! So first month doing it properly and need some help!

I don't seem to get much CM as a rule, until Tue eve when I got what I thought was EWCM (stretched - which it never usually does!). Significant temp rise this morning to 36.55 (previous high 36.15) but I'm now confused as had more EWCM this morning and now not sure if the rise was due to waking up briefly to go to the loo 2hrs before I took temp! I seem to get way more CM in the mornings (except for Tue eve!) - is this normal? Can anyone help me to interpret this please before I drive myself mad?!

hello satsuma! TCOYF is fab isnt it! I wish I had read it sooner and started temping sooner.

Ive found with cm sometimes you just have to get in and have a good feel about. Sometimes you can miss it as it can get mixed with semen. Its likely to flow out of the body when you ahem go to the loo so could easily get missed. Some women only get ewcm for a day some may get it several days but due to reasons just mentioned you may think you get very little or none when in actual fact you do. The last day of ewcm is the most fertile day, I guess once you chart tomorrow you will get a better idea of whether you have ovulated but I would be dtd tonight IMO anyway being an expert and all that

Had internal and external scan and apparently all looks normal. Lots of mothers with newborn babies in the waiting room just to add salt to the wounds!

Hello mrssatsuma I probably can't help you much because I find it hard to track my CM but I wanted to say welcome! We need more people on this thread to replace our lovely people when they get BFPs and move on to the antenatal threads

Are you tracking your temps using fertilityfriend.com? Here is my chart www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrsden I only have the basic membership and that's free. I think it makes it much easier to see the rise when it's on a graph and FF will put in the crosshairs when it detects you have ovulated.

It is possible that your high temp was as a result of getting up. You really need 3 hours of continuous sleep to get the lowest temp. You can only be sure you have ovulated after getting 3 rises in a row. That's why I like FF because it works it out for me.

If you have more ewcm on a morning, is it possible you are confusing it with the byproducts of SWI iykwim, assuming you SI on a night? I can't tell the difference which is one of the reasons I don't bother to track it. Other ladies on here are experts in CM so I'm sure they can offer better advice.

temps back up little bit this morning www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3 :) Have felt absolutely exhausted today, but have has a very stressful day at work and have also been out running. Could quite happily go to be now. I've had a blinding headache a well, but that's also probably work related. I'm starting to feel a bit hormornal too, was at the docs today and the nurse was so lovely I almost burst in to tears several times but I've also been losing my temper really easily too! Have been boob prodding,but nowt to report there!

Morning ladies! Erm, I may have news. Faint line on Boots own last night, 'pregnant 1-2' on CBDigi this morning! Oh. Em. Gee.
