TCOYF Software Spotters!!!

[coggy]

Pefect for us spotters and knicker watchers!!!!!

Good idea Natty.

Here's my sad little chart for this month!!!!

Welcome to the charting obsession.
Babymad......hope your ds gets better soon.

I am getting chillier!!!!!!
Temps going down............

Afternoon All!
Don't you just love Saturdays? No work and another lie in tomorrow.

Coggy, so nice to be so warmly remembered!! The pull of MN is as strong as ever!

Got a thumb on my erratic Thursday temp when I entered todays temp on my software. Does this mean that it is discounting as a temp rise for Ov and putting it down to fever or my new thermal ASDA PJ's? I hope so because CM on Thursday (CD10) was still white and not at all good for little swimmers, plus BD-ing was thin on the ground whereas now I'm in fully sex crazed so hoping OV is coming rather than gone!!!!
babymad hope DS gets better soon . xx
Welcome retromum..power to the thermometer!

Ladybump - can you up load your chart so we can have a look? I always get horny before ov not sure if that is due to hormones or desperation to have a baby. LOl (sorry bit tmi)

Stretch - think you oved yesterday do you agree? Is it the start of the 2ww?

Coggy - you are cold aren't you. Maybe it is going down ready for a big rise in a day or two. x

Ok I'll try. bear with me.

When it asks for user name and password, should i know this? God my memory is awful. Know password but what about user name? did I enter one when i registered or is that the serial number when i bought software??

Ok i just read it. Sorry should have done that first...

myTCOYF WebCharts?

let's try again!!
\link{myTCOYF WebCharts?}

How did you do that???

Yeah not sure why your temp shot up, need a few more days to get a good idea of what is happening and really it takes a good 3 months to be able to compare your own charts. I woul def start bding now though and should imagine ovulation will happen soon.

Good luck. x

Morning all - can't update my chart today but nothing remarkable.

Ladybump (hey, I remember you as Wrighty tooo!! )we all know how you feel, really we do It is really hard but we are all here to help and support you. You must believe it will happen and visualise yourself holding that baby, your brain needs that stimulus.

Babymad , hello. Your poor DS. I had earache a lot when I was little so can really sympathise with the poor little lamb. I still remember lying on my Mum's knee trying to get to sleep whilst she stroked my ears.

Welcome Retromum - welcome back to the TTC rollercoaster! Babydust to you too.

Hello Stretchmarks - that's good about the infection. Get busy

Natty, Coggy, 3cats - hello - off to chart spot (ahhh running out of cooking time for party tonight but MUST have my MN fix first! )

You have to follow the instruction on the bottom right hand side. i do have to really concentrate on it though. x

Ladybump - think hat temp was a rougue one on Thurs and that you haven't OVd yet - soon though .

Natty - love the "less than 4 alcoholic drinks" tell me about that! Should I have one for "Pisched as a fart" for the gin episode last night!

Stretchmarks - I'm with Natty, does look like you Ovd yesterday so those BDs were very well timed Babydust to you!

Coggy - looks like you are getting close to OV. I can't wait to see ferns on my saliva scope!

LBWrighty...........you are chilly!!!!
It's saying your coverline is 35.9 (although that sometimes changes annoyingly) mine was 36.9!!!!
Hot stuff here!!!
The software cooled me down a bit yesterday to 36.85!!!!!

What's this about a gin-fest?????!!!!!
Must go and chart-spot................

LOL at the gin Mrs

Who wanted to smack a pg woman on the stairs????
Think I might join you!!!!!!

Found out yesterday that a friend who was having NO MORE children EVER is pg and so along with the other friend who I found out is also pg tonight....hmmmmm....that would now be......6 of my friends now pg then!!!!!

One of whom NEVER wanted children and is now on her second....and another who only wanted one and is now pg with her second.
FOUR of whom were pg at the same time as me and our dc would all be the same age.

I would like to fill this whole space up with s!!!!!!!
Found tonight's night-out quite tricky......can you all tell???!!!!!

I know how you feel, Coggy. When we were TTC for DS and I had got my second AF in a row, my best friend announced she was pg. They hadn't even been trying AND she was actually UPSET about it, as it meant she'd have to postpone her wedding. Then my BIL came on a flying visit from the States and announced that SIL was pg. We started TTC the same month as them, so that was gutting. It was SO hard trying to act pleased for everyone, then I had to deal with the guilt of not being genuinely pleased and happy for them all when I knew should have been (my BIL rumbled me though). Mind you, all that was nothing compared to the guilt when SIL miscarried in the same week that we eventually conceived (the good news is that their baby boy is due in 3 weeks time).

I have also expereinced the boot being on the other foot...my best friend has been extremely broody for a while, however a few weeks after turning 35 her boyfriend, who she had been besotted with for years before they even got together, dumped her for someone else. She also has gynae problems, which she knows will make conception difficult in any case. She is now studiously avoiding all her friends who have DCs or are pg (most of them), including me, and makes bitter comments about her situation compared to everyone else's on the occasions I do get to speak to her. I strongly sympathise for her situation and the way she's feeling, but I also feel angry at the way she's treating me and our other friends.

Us women are funny, aren't we...?

Babydust, RetroMum x

I'm with you coggy. Found my night out very stressful. DH and i worked out how we need to change our lifestyles to ttc. We have tried unsuccessfully for 7 months and decided tonight we would let our hair down and have a few drinks.
Now, I'll put our situation in perspective. Last week we went on holiday to lanzerote and I stayed relatively sober as was in final week of 2ww. DH watered his drinking a little yet still got relatively p*ed each night through which I smiled and understood that it was his holiday too.

When i got home and got a resounding BFN I was miffed for the care free holiday i had lost but understood that that's life.
Back to tonight. My Dh spent lot of the night with hand on BF belly feeling 38 week old baby move and marvelling at it with me. Then 2 days prior predicted OV (which my DH knew) whilst i watch what I drink and ate, I turned and noticed my DH cadging a cigarette off a friend when he hasn't smoked for years. I am i the only one who thinks this is wrong and disrespectful to me at this time?
Now I feel like I am the only one sacrificing anything for our future and think why the hell do I bother?

DH is now in bed sulking saying I am over -reacting but I don't think I am. What's the point in me watching what I eat drink etc if he is carrying on regardless?

I am an open minded person so feel free to tell me if I have over reacted. It will help give me perspective.So much for letting my hair down and relaxing...

Men are just not the same!!!!
I can't be on here long enough LB as I've got to get ready to go out in a mo.......but I think we can all tell tales of this sort of behaviour!!!

In their defence (although not what you probably want to hear and I get frustrated with DH terribly too sometimes)..........I think that I sometimes forget how MUCH I know about ttc and how LITTLE dh does.
For example.....he said to me a month or two ago something along the lines of.....why do we get so hung up about the 'right' time we don't know when the best time is do we?
To which I replied......."I do"!!!!!!!
I think generally they are more relaxed about the whole thing.
My dh, again, will be having copious amounts to drink over Christmas no doubt with no knowing that it is the December sperm that we will prob need for IUI treatment in March!!!
I tell him a little here and there but it makes him squeamish so I don't want to put him off either!!!!
And also if it is too much of a chore eg. no alcohol etc. then it might put some men of babies at all.....a sign of things to come?????

Maybe they do have the right attitude and we are too obsessed???!!!!
We can't help it though can we as it is a need not a want.

Ooooh....I've managed to waffle quite a lot for someone who is still in their dressing gown and needs to be out of the door in 35 minutes!!!!

You both realised I was frustrated last night then!!!???!!!!!

i was frustrated too, feel bit calmer and rational now...

Morning everyone,

Sorry to hear you are so frustrated ladies - it's difficult I know. I agree with you though Coggy we are much more focussed on it than men. I try to be as relaxed about it as I can thankfully Dh doesn't drink often and doesn't smoke really anymore but it doesn't bother me if he has 1 too many one night or a cigarette as long as it didn't become a regular thing - but then that would bother me even if we weren't ttc. I think everything in moderation doesn't do too much harm. I still drink now though not often have managed to stay off the ciggies for a while now, think I may have at last cracked that one.

Having said all that I think my biggest problem is the green eyed monster and my own anger/frustration. I still find it very difficult to deal with my bf's pregnancy she is due 3 weeks after our baby would have been - again an unplanned pregnancy that she was a bit upset about when she found out, and since the mc we have found oout that 2 other friends are expecting so every month after my due date someone else is due and all I keep doing is thinking I would have been xx weeks pregnant now or even thinking next year we could have had a baby who would have been 1 month then etc etc

On a positive note - I have had my kitchen floor tiled this weekend - after a year of concrete it is nearly complete - never have I felt the urge so much as now to have a mop in my hand to keep it sparkling !!!

Don't think I ov'd the other day as temp wasn't any higher today and I was going to discount todays reading totally as I didn't take it until nearly 8am and was up at 4am putting ds back to bed !!!! My estimate is that I am due to ov between Tues and Sat this week so will give DH a day or 2's rest now before he needs to get back on the job so to speak

My I have rambled - am off to Shrugborough Hall later for a food and craft fair whilst DH goes off to golf. Have a good day everyone.

Sending relaxed BFP babyvibes to you all.........
