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!

jaggy I'm playing the comparison game too, only on others charts. Apparently I have 26% chance of pregnancy. Now where have I heard that stat before

oh I've done other people's chart's too.

there are several hours of my life from the last few months that i seriously wasted...

jaggy and scrummy - Ive started doing that to as Ive just updated to full member of FF.

duck sorry about af :(

bossy glad things weren't too difficult x

Thanks scrummy, Af still not arrived and I am still spotting but it's only cd26 so I guess mon or tue and then I can move on.

Morning ladies

My chart temps are still high, and allegedly 14 DPO today with no sign of AF (yet...) however if I change the detector mehod on Fertility Friend to "research" or "FAM" it changes my o date to much later putting me at 5 or 6 dpo today. I am destined to be 2ww-ing forever and ever...

At least if its a BFN over the next few days I will still feel I am in with a shot if the later date is true although that would involve taking my tests with me on holiday - there's no way I could leave it until I got back

I used the "VIP lounge" forum thing to ask the FF guide about my chart and they think most likely o date is CD29, although could be CD30, CD37 or CD38. Why are these things so complicated??

What do you guys think? (chart is here

I'd have guessed CD29 or 30 if I was playing the FF guess the ovulation day game :)

fingers crossed!

nothing exciting for me at only 6DPO.

Poppy I agree with Jaggy.

cd27 still spotting wish I could just move on arrrgh!!!!!

Hello ladies, wondered if I could rejoin this thread. I recognise some of you from when I was last on it in January

Am about to start ttc again after I had a miscarriage in March with my last bfp at 8 weeks. My fourth loss , but I'm now under a private consultant and will be taking steroids from ovulation to hopefully prevent that happening again. I usually ovulate day 23-25 but am now taking metformin so hoping this will shorten my cycle. Hence any day from the next few days till about cd26 I'll be scrutinising my chart wondering if I've ovulated.

chart here I know I've not ovulated yet. But I'm sure by this time next week I'll be drumming my fingers and trying not to retake my temperature when it inevitably hasn't risen as much as I want it to.

poppy I vote for cd38. Probably not what you wanted to hear but if you've had bfn's then the shift from cd38 must be your post-ov shift rather than a triphasic shift. I know how frustrating it can be - my last ovulation happened around a similar time (post miscarriage), but it was really obvious to me had tell tale cramp/bloating, had loads of ewcm two days before. Did you feel anything around cd38 that could have signalled ovulation?

hi again digital, nice to 'see' you again. sorry to hear about your loss. :(

really hope the treatments are successful for you.

Hi ladies

Thank you so much for your thoughts on my chart - I have switched it to "research" method now to show ovulation on CD 37 as as far as I can tell AF won't be here any time soon and there's no BFP in sight....

digitalgirl I did have horrid cramps on CD37-39 and I see what you guys are talking about regarding the temps - although there was a shift on CD29 the temps never really got a lot higher than the previous ones but after CD38 its a whole different story. If you take O day as CD37 or 38 then my chart looks a lot more like a proper biphasic one with an obvious shift. Also the temps got a lot less jagged if you know what I mean which would say to me that something else is going on. (maybe I am reading too much into it )

So I will take it that I am 6 DPO today, luckily we managed to DTD roughly about the right time so I guess we're still in with a chance! That's the problem with long irregular cycles - you never know when its safe to have an early night with a good book instead of well, you know.....

bmrocks hooray for 2ww buddies, I'll be in Greece on holiday (laying off the wine and cocktails just in case) when its time to test but I'll be excitedly awaiting your news when I get back :) I may well sneak in to somewhere with WIFI if I have good news to let you all know....

bmrocks and jaggy same person? like a superhero alter ego?

pops head round corner to wave hello to digi.

Glad you've got some medical support and everything is crossed for your deserved success this time.

Still lurking girls. You were all such a support to me that I can't tear myself away as I'm willing bfps on you all!

definitely jaggy!

no idea who that other porter was honest.

it was for a different thread but i mucked up and tried to get it removed i was too slow

anyway, I'm 6dpo and shall happily stalk you through the 2ww. have a lovely time in Greece! I'll be working late shifts with too much time to think by the end of it.

Hi digitalgirl sorry that you've found yourself back here again. Hopefully it's just a flying visit and the steroids work their magic! :)

hooray see you on the other side.....

oops x post - meant in response to jaggy

Gah. BBT thermometer has broken this morning.

That is a pain doris - did you nip into boots today and get another one? Am sure one missed temp won't make a difference to overall chart.

I had ewcm yesterday and nothing today. But negatives on the opk's so clearly body deciding not to have a luteal surge just yet. It's so tedious trying to ttc with long cycles. Dh and I have decided to swi every day till temp rise. It seemed to work last time and would like to minimise the number of cycles I'm on steroids - so here we go...

digitalgirl totally with you re TTC with long cycles, I have now had 3 potential ovulation dates, several patches of so-called fertile CM and DH and I only managed to DTD on roughly the "right" days purely by accident. Only way I think is to keep at it - in my experience even after temp rise if possible just in case body is being a tricky so and so

DH thinks its great. "Shall we go try and make a baby" is now his seduction line

Hope you got a new BBT thermometer doris what a pain!

Also, 8 dpo and I am getting a lot of creamy but stretchy CM, has anyone else experienced this? I got this when pregnant with DS but not until later on - its not EWCM, just slightly stretchy creamy stuff (and, sorry for TMI, enough of it to feel a bit icky in knickers ) Hoping I am not just a freak of nature....

poppy not a freak, unless that makes it two of us

I did ineed go and buy a new one - I was on Boots by 8am!

Slap me - I POAS this morning and of course it was BFN! 10 DPO on dotted lines, so probably too early! Just feeling really impatient this month.
