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!

Are all your cycles the same length? Do you normally get spotting before af? Sorry for all the questions. It's still early on isn't it. Its common to get a dip while spotting and of course we all know what it could mean but I'm not saying it, FX. As a full time spotting spotter I total recommend trying to forget all about it as it can be very intermittent and so you get your hopes up when it seems it's stopped only to start again the next day. Then I find I lead myself to believe I am needing the loo a lot when really I'm just going for a look! Is it possible to relax and forget about it?? Probably not but it's not over yet - see what happens to your temp tomorrow, it's a very neat chart

Bossy I usually get brown stuff shortly before af, cycles are between 27/29 days I'm cd22.

It is a very neat chart isn't it! I have been secretly getting my hopes up because my temps have been higher than usual :(

It is all very promising isn't it being higher than usual and spotting so early even if 27 day cycle. It's a work of art, even dh laughed at mine and he doesn't even know what it means! It's not over yet!

It's awfy quiet on here today! you must all be having more exciting Sundays than me

3dpo and nothing to report. got my real crosshairs now and actually managed to do my temp at nearly the right time with DS sleeping ok.

well until 6am when i heard a crash and a wail. had visions of him escaping but i think he'd just rolled over and bashed his head on the cot. i leapt out of bed to protect my pfb anyway.

exciting sunday pffff! Hoovered top to bottom, steam mopped, dusted, tidied, prepared veg for tea, did get a lie in and breakfast in bed though

Rubbish sleep - waking every 1-2 hours so although temp is up I dont think much of the chart is accurate. Was roasting hot at 6 am but temp was low, slept on and off and took several temps and chose the best one for my chart

No exciting Sunday here either! Just about to clean the house... and am getting ever more confused and fed up about my chart. I don't even have anything to blame the irregular temps on - did nearly all at the same time, not much sleep deprivation etc etc. Bah!

Yup, my Sunday's being pretty dull too. For no apparent reason (other than a mild cold), am bone-achingly shattered. Have collapsed onto the sofa with a book, but it's an effort to stay awake. DP just suggested I go for a run to wake myself up

I actually did go for a run yesterday, and a little 2-year-old boy came from nowhere and ran straight between my legs, bringing us both crashing to the ground! I felt TERRIBLE - poor little thing

oops molly !

more spotting meh!!!

Am resigned to AF rearing her ugly head soon!!!

Dull Sunday here too, slightly hung over, so having a very lazy day! :) Nowt to report either, CD8 so nothing interesting happening

10dpo, sigh 2ww is so hard!!!!

Aww weimy I feel your pain, i'm 8dpo. Are you still spotting? I have had no signs this time, so expecting AF or a BFN, I just wish If AF was coming she just would and then we can try again frustrating!

karbea a tiny bit when I wiped (eugh tmi). Very tender boobs and cramps. I might poas tomorrow to get it out the way with grr. You are right once you know she is on her way you just want to get cracking again!

noo weimy don't POAS! if it's negative it might be too early, then you'll just need to pee again in a couple of days.

I'm sticking to that plan this month again so trying to convince you too, looking at BFNs is too depressing

lol thanks jaggy!

I think I am pretty sure of a BFN this month cos of the brown stuff but I will hold out

I'm with jaggy, don't test yet weimy! You know it's better to wait until AF due date. Ha, I love how we are all so sensible when it isn't us

I've managed one month out of 5 with no POAS, it was the most relaxed one so def being sensible this month again!

Hi all, not much to report here as I haven't been temping - sleeping is too messed up and it'll be even more messed up when I get home and jet-lag sets in so I declare it a non-charting month for me.

Definitely don't test yet weimy

still more brown, looks like AF is coming early. oooh why is this so difficult?

Why is everyone I know just falling on a penis and getting pregnant?

Oh weimy :( I know it is awfully depressing but I find that being on here helps as has given me a reality I.e not EVERYONE gets pregnant just because they want to which makes me feel better iyswim. Is it usual for your cycle to vary so much? Does your LP vary? Am just being nosey!

jaggy I ve been quiet as have loads of work at the moment and am struggling to stay on top of it and not be buried under it!! Plus point is 4 dpo and haven't had time to obsess so i maybe less mental this month

satsuma looks like only time will tell with your chart but 12dpo could be implantation dip

Oh and no testing weimy hold out to day 12 at least, I'll give you chocolate

I'm 4dpo too twizzle

Ok, I'm at work again, so a bit bored.

I thought I was quite regular, since charting have varied 27-29 with luteal phase of 14-16 ish I think.

High temps made me hopeful.

I'd thought of that and am trying not to hope...

Weimy I've figured our bodies always like to do things when we least want them to. They are cruel!! Still have fingers crossed just in case...

Wish I could sleep better Im so tired now. I could be having anovulatory or could just be lack of proper sleep affecting my chart, 3 separate lots of ewcm and def a lot more than usual, will be glad to get af and start again. Would have been 9dpo if the temps had gone up - but then again maybe the temps before were inaccurate and were therefore too high so the post ewcm temps were right and did go up - oh the possibilities are endless. Bore the gyn with it all on thursday!

Hi everyone. I have posted yet on this incarnation of Charters Anon but have been reading and saw MrsARch and Truffkins news with great joy. I'm sorry to jump in and be all mememe, but I am so so upset about my chart this month and would love any thoughts.

linky

I am in seventh month of TTC now. My close friend who I adore and had told I was TTCing and all the various worries I had that it wasn't happening, just announced she was 12 weeks. I am really happy for her but also devastated that it's not me, AGAIN, and also that I opened up to her and it wasn't reciprocated (her choice, totally, although she would always instigate the TTC conversations!)

I haven't always had good amounts of EWCM, and we haven't always managed good shagging, either. Yes this month I really thought we had both, I had ov pains on CD22, positive OPKS, and now...nothing. No temp rise, EWCM gone, OPK negative. I know I'm being fucking ridiculous but I am so upset. I just wanted it to be textbook and actually work well this month.

Do you think I've ovulated?

Do you
