Why does furniture shopping always cause stress?

I always get stroppy with DH when we go (not very often, luckily).

Have posted my chart but not sure if it will update. Do I have to keep posting it or just upload to web and then that will update it?

Off to do some tidying now before I settle in front of Spooks with a cup of tea and 3 cats to keep me company.

coggy · 16/10/2006 22:10

As you upload it updates your chart everytime so you shouldn't have to do any more links to it now.

Remind me when you usually OV?

OP posts:
coggy · 17/10/2006 07:31

I have officially peaked!!!!

Babymad2DS · 17/10/2006 07:32

Morning all, so feed up with my temp I so want my temps to go down, I really hope I didn't OV on CD5-6, I as reading TCOYF book last night and it says that antibiotics has minimal effect on your cycle, but does increase or thin cervical fluid, what it does say is "may cause a yeast infection" what's that? Also another spanner in the works DH and I can only BD up till Thursday night as he's going for his S-test and cant BD for two days before, just seem like everything is angst us this cycle, but it's the only time he can do it around work and around the hospital.

How is everyone this morning!

coggy · 17/10/2006 07:56

I am the queen of bad timing Babymad!!!
Peak fertility today just as DH starts his week of night shifts...he'll be finished just as I am!!!

Can you put the sperm test off?
I would only do it at the beginning of my cycle or in the 2WW...seems ridiculous to have to do it at a crucial time.

Must go........nearly late for work!!

OP posts:
Babymad2DS · 17/10/2006 08:33

We've already put it off long enough i think he's had the paper work to go get it done for about 6 weeks now, if not more, it just my DH for you never asked me when it would be best time for us! But then again i have a 26 day cycle at the moment and i will be CD16 on thursday i think i need tens days for inpantion I believe? so i think by firday would be to late any way! Please put me right if I'm wrong!

MrsMcJnr · 17/10/2006 15:17

Thank you all for indulging me on the chart posting thread!

Babymad - it's fate my dear! At least after the test, you'll know if there is any issue with DH. Also, your body has been through a lot this cycle.

Stretchmarks - you can add in symptoms such as bad moods you know, I have added alcohol, oatmeal and bad skin into mine!

Coggy - no HCG jags this month then? Lovely post from Kiwigirl - thanks for letting me know.

Natty - very impressed and slightly in awe of no booze all weekend!

Natty1806 · 17/10/2006 15:47

I know i am being good, no booze planned for this weekend either, however the following weekend (prob just after ov) i am going out for my brothers birthday so will be getting stuipdly drunk!!

Natty1806 · 17/10/2006 18:12

Just checked out the charts.

Stretch - when is af due?

Mrs and Coggy and 3cats- hope you are getting some action

Not very exciting my end, CD8 so maybe another 10 days to go but going to try and bd tomorrow CD10, thurs CD11, SatCD13, SunCD14, Tue CD16, Wed CD17, Thu CD18.

Thats if i can OH in the mood on those nights, doesn't always go to plan does it. x

stretchmarks · 17/10/2006 18:44

HI everyone,

I think i might add in the bad moods Mrs - I had been tracking alcohol on my paper copy before I moved to the online version. Think I might do this as well. I have been saintly this month just a few glasses of wine here and there - have drove when going out to resist the temptation.

Natty - AF is due approx 27th Oct I think now - not to sure on length of cycle only had 1 AF since MC and they were varying between 29-34 days before pregnancy.

Actually Mrs not sure if I should record Alcohol next month have several big nights out planned. I have my works party on Nov 3rd, was so drunk last year I fell over in the middle of a conversation I'd only been with the company a few months at the time - will not start so early on the champagne this year !!!!

Natty1806 · 17/10/2006 18:57

Work do's are also a bad idea to start drinking early at but i normally do for a bit of dutch courage.

babymad - missed you off my last post, sorry. Do you think you have ovulated or that your cycle is messed up by the infection. x

3catstoo · 17/10/2006 21:35

Hi All.

No action for me as DH is away .
Think I Ov'd today. Lots of EWCM and tender tummy.
My coverline has changed again though, back to 97.8, don't know what's happening this month.

I ov'd on day 15 last cycle and I'm on day 15 today, how bizarre. So in theory AF should arrive on day 27 again. LP is 11 days according to last cycle.

Hope everyone else who is Ov'ing this week is having more luck.

I uploaded my chart again but it didn't update on the chart thread. Have I done something wrong?

3catstoo · 17/10/2006 21:44

Ah, it worked after uploading 3 times !!

Babymad2DS · 18/10/2006 09:58

Morning all, feel like again CD15 just got over my skin infection and now my SIL had given me the flu, sore throat the work abit worried has this is the 7th time this year I've had a sore throat and the last 6 times I've it's ended up turning into a nasty throat infection, so now I've got this sore throat, feeling very sick, aching body, ear ache and so on my temps are well and truly out the window. If I feel up to it, I'll BD tonight and tomorrow (not on my own of cause LOL with lots of pain killers too) but not for baby reason just because me and DH haven't been all that close due to tabs and infection and so on! But starting Friday I'm going to take super duper care of my self I already do but by the time I've finished DH is going to think I'm a health guru or something as I'm rally sick of being ill, I eat the right things, I excise and don't drink or smoke so what going on, and I am 100% not stressed at all not even with TTC so what the deal, is there anything I can take to build my immune system?

I'll catch up later! Hope everyone is fine and well!

3catstoo · 18/10/2006 10:22

Sorry to hear you're not well BabyMad.
I often feel the same. Don't drink or smoke, I eat well yet here I am covered in spots and with a constant cold. Doesn't make sense does it.
I usually put my illnesses down to being around 3 children who come into contact with these things at school or toddler groups. I think the bugs of today are a different species and it probably doesn't matter how healthy you try to be.

Maybe some attention from DH will cheer you up a bit.

Take care.

Hope your sore throat doesn't turn into an infection.

Babymad2DS · 18/10/2006 10:35

I'm covered in spots too face and back! so sick of it! Dh just phoned me from work but i had to cut the phone call short as i felt rally really sick, just feel like crying now!

MrsMcJnr · 18/10/2006 11:38

Oh Babymad, poor you. You sound really run down

MrsMcJnr · 18/10/2006 12:13

3Catstoo - your chart hasn't updated today but I'd be interested to know what your temp was like today. I got Peak sign today too but I think that was because I recorded EWCM though there's not much of it.

Coggy - ohhhhh! I hope those "?" are what I think! You're certainly giving it a great shot ths cycle, fingers crossed! You had tons of EWCM didn't you?

Strethmarks - Forgive me because I have forgotten your history but just from looking at your chart alone, I think it is not regisetering OV on CD14 because there is no record of your CM for a few days. You can change the preferences so that the software predicts OV on temps alone I think.

Natty - do you take your folic acid and zinc seperately? I am taking the Santogen pre-natal vits and though they only have 50% of RDA of Zinc they have 350% of RDA of folic acid, 100% RDA of Iron plus 100% of RDA of Vit E (apparently it helps carry oxygen to the reproductive organs).

DH is taking Max Male vits from Holland & Barratt they seem to have the essentials for him in them i.e. Vit E, Q10, zinc and selenium but he also eats lots of brazil nuts so they're good too. What does your OH take?

Natty1806 · 18/10/2006 13:11

Yes i take zinc and folic acid seperatly, OH does not take anything. I did try to get him to take Zinc but once his sperm test came back okay he has refused to take anything.

coggy · 18/10/2006 14:25

Typical male Natty...LOL!

My DH takes multi-vitamins randomly...if I force feed him!!
I take the smae ones as you MrsMc.

Unfortunately not all those ?s are BDing......although we have done considerably better this month.....CD7, 10 & 11 say low chance on the software.....CD14 says good and yesterday CD16 says best.
Going to try to get another in today but it is sooooo hard as my poor DH is on night duties and just wants to sleep if he has any extra wearing out!!!!
Poor chap!!!
Last chance at a 'best' today though.........

We'll see...........

OP posts:
MrsMcJnr · 18/10/2006 14:46

Mine is quite good at taking the vitamins if I put them out for him and on no prompting from me, has out aside his CK jersey boxers in favour of cotton baggier ones, think he might of been reading up!? He refuses to drink the wheatgrass though!

Coggy that sounds pretty good, if I had to choose between a BFP for me this month or one for you, I would choose you (even if I only know you virtually!) you deserve your baby so much. Wishing you the best of luck and lots of babydust

Natty1806 · 18/10/2006 17:50

that is such a nice thing to say Mrs and i would second that, i would love coggy to get her BFP.

coggy · 18/10/2006 19:05

You are both really sweet...thank you.

No BDing tonight....felt sorry for DH and he was embarrasing relieved to have the night off!!!

Made me feel bad!!!!!
Poor tired man of mine.

Looked at previous cycles tho and figured it wouldn't make that much difference....I have BDed on OV day....the day before...the day after....etc. etc.

And I've come to the conclusion that there is no definitive way to get your BFP.....if you're going to get pg you will regardless!!!

So says me!!!
May not feel quite so generous when AF comes however!!!!!
