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!

Hi IfAt hope OV turns up soon, it muct be pants not knowing what's going on. I think OPKS aren't 100% reliable so who knows?

FX your twinges are right. :)

Well my wish for AF to hurry up as I knew she was coming thanks to 2 days temp drop has been sadly granted, came home from work and there it was.

25 day cycle and a 10 day LP so not too bad but Ive stocked up on vitamins including B6 now. Plus I got DH a nice wee treat for tonight - vitamins A, E and zinc to help with healthy sperm production lol.

Heres to cycle 9.

sorry about AF newgold :(

ifat fx

Hello all!

newgold - sorry for AF :(

IfAt - It is definitely possible to get a faint line on an OPK only for the OPK to have no line for a few days before actual ovulation takes place. FX for you!

Jaggy - I'll be checking in in the morning to see what your temp does!

Update on my chart is that I'm confused! Any thoughts? Just to add into the mix, I'm thinking about the following:

• We did only have sex on those 2 occasions so pretty useless really. I normally ovulate around CD 18 so really didn't think we'd need to start so soon!
• The last couple of months I have ovulated on CD18 and also on the high day following my two peak days on the Clearblue Fertility Monitor
• The dotted crosshairs suggest that FF is not convinced about my ovulation day. On CD 14, my temp was not accurate due to me taking it late and having had a couple of drinks the previous evening (both of which normally shove my temp up)so I wonder (and hope!) whether I actually ovulated on CD14 which would then make me 9dpo.
• LP is normally 11 or 12 days.
• Has anyone else ever noticed their first cycle after stopping BF produce a different pattern?

I'm not holding out much hope with only two attempts and I am feeling zero symptoms, but hey - I can live in hope and just wait and see what that temp does in the morning!

Hello all, well af arrived for me to day 3 days early, so looks like I had a very short mutual phase this month.
So back to the start chartwise...

karbea newgold sorry af turned up here's small cheer up from me
ifat it might just be your temps take longer to rise this month?
essence I fear I share your confusion...sorry I can't help...What is BF?
pecca welcome and good luck with the SWI
jaggy you just make me LOL - in a good way

So, my update...had a really good sleep this morning so temp later than normal, which means ff won't count it...got creamy CM ( I thought it was supposed to stay dry after Ov?) feeling a bit wierd, can't quite describe how, but just not quite right...ff gave me 'good' shagging rating this month...(I'll change my settings so you girls can stalk that too when I get home tonight). DH did his third home sperm test this morning and they've all been on the top 3 rating! Has anyone else had fertilityscore and can you fetch whether it really is accurate?

ok, i am in such a flap that i haven't even put anything in FF today.

em, is any line really a line? bit of a long story today.

woke up too early (for yet another wee) dutifully took my temp and it was really low. i still had more cramps and was worried af was arriving early. i then decided it was because i was really cold and not snuggled under the covers as usual, so i curled up and took it again an hour later! it was the same as yesterday, not that it means anything.

i then thought wtf am i doing. so i got up for my wee and decided to poas if no af. there was no af so did internet cheapie. couldn't bloody tell so did clearblue +

a really thin line came up straight away, but the instructions say the lines should be the same width?

i can't tell if the other edge is there faintly and i chucked out my wee so can't do a cbd till tomorrow. Eek.

sorry about af karbea.

not sure about chart essence will have better look when not on phone. :)

Oh Jaggy I'm pretty sure that any line that comes up immediately IS a line :)
Great news and I hope a congratulations isn't too premature!

jaggy a line is a line is a line! Yay!!!

scrummy BF=breastfeeding

7dpo for me. Temps up today but, sigh, all perfectly normal in my previous 5 bfn charts.
I was stupidly tired and hungry last night but I'm also fighting a cold

up to 78 points now but still spotting on and off which I expect will be the case till af tomorrow, temp dipped a bit today, expect tomorrow it will plunge then off we go again. Good luck everyone!

Meh, DH says he couldn't see it but his eyesight is v bad and he didn't have his glasses on...

struggling to type with DS on my lap here.

oh..he's had a poo..yay.

glad my attempt at light entertainment was working scrummy

have actually got cbd in cupboard already - nervous about it saying not pregnant tomorrow!

wow jaggy! Cant wait for your post tomorrow!

karbea and newgold sorry about AF
essence I ve looked at your chart and can see why you might be confused, surely BF does have some hormonal effect? Sorry I can't be more help.

jaggy am trying to contain my excitement for you! What's weird is I did exactly the same temp thing as you today! I too woke up early to pee and took temp (v low-touching coverline), went back to sleep for about an hour and half then took again 6:30 it's was same as yesterday! I put in lowest temp as despite being 2 days late have felt like I'm due on any minute! Got everything crossed for you!

saw quite a few charts that had a slight dip the day before bfp so that may bring hope to some! Im waiting to see how this day goes, it may turn into cd1 but im not sure yet.

ok, why isn't it tomorrow yet?

Newgold - we are matching, I've just gone in to cycle 9, 25 day and 10 day LP. Grrr. Are our LPs a problem?
jaggy - very exciting, crossing fingers, sounding very psoitive!

essence, looking at the pattern of ewcm it may be that you ovulated cd15 as there was a slight thermal shift then too, if so swi was at the right time. I guess if your LP is normally 11 or 12 days you will know soon enough!

Yes jaggy I think today is going to drag!

If I was playing the ff guess the ovulation day game which I discovered yesterday, I would have put day 15 for your chart essence...

only on quick for a panic, just found out I am being observed teaching year 11 after lunch, will probably be in tears by the end of the lesson. :(

Oh weimy being in same profession, I feel your pain :( good luck

its a great game isnt it jaggy - we are such experts now! In fact I was just wondering how much they were charging for vip membership, and if you could get 5000 members paying that per month...I wish I could make websites!

I think I paid 10-15 pounds for 6 months or something? the prices are in $ so you need to convert.

obsessed? me? nah

lol, that isnt too bad is it but there is money to be made from the ttc business isnt there, dread to think what ive spent on tests the last 17 months

What's this points business?

tis this
