Chart Spotters Unite!!

[ovenREADYhotcrossbuns]

Yum was in need of a new thread, and I thought the title was apt because it's not just TCOYF charts anymore... hope it's ok?? I don't want anyone to think I am taking over

Just needing something, anything, to take my mind OFF my impending doom

Thank you so much mrsmc and ready for analysing my charts. It's very kind of you guys to do so and it's very much appreciated.

I have changed my calculation settings as you suggested to temp and cm. The software did re-calculate but again showed ov at cd11. I've just input the same data in fertility friend and came back with no ov detected .

You are right mrsmc about not being stress about this charting business. Last time I got pg, I didn't chart but just used opks. I have had +ves consistently before m/c. I guess you are right I'm probbaly still messed up after m/c. I will try to be calmer....

I hope all is going well with you mrsmc. People can be so insensitive sometimes-just ignore them. Big hugs to you. Take care of yourself.

what does it do on temp alone?

MrsMc your Aunties are very mean to say those things, how insensitive.
Should your other Aunt have told you though .

When it's family I think the 12 week rule does not count, surely that's just a guide of when to tell employers or not so close friends?

They are in the wrong not you. Big hugs to you.

Ready, I think the migraine was weather related really. Although it was beautifully sunny it was fairly heavy, iyswim.

No migraine today, thank goodness.
I don't really feel ant effects of the pills yet, early days and such a low dose too.

On the subject of DH, I thought I had cracked it but then last night he sat next to me on the sofa, said hello followed by "I don't want another baby and never have".
Oh !
Then he said "But you are looking very sexy this evening so I won't be able to help myself".

What on earth am I supposed to think?

Pity last night wasn't Ov.
I must remember what I was wearing and have it washed ready for when I Ov and hope he thinks the same then .

Hi to everyone else.
Have a fab weekend.
xxxxxxxx

haha MrsMc - it was just the temperature rise that I was querying to be honest. My book says 0.1 so in effect I would assume that if all your pre-ov temps were 36.3 for example and all your post-ov temps were 36.4 that would still count as a shift. Though I doubt anyone has such a small shift, that is how it comes across in my book.... and also on fertilityfriend I found this that suggests 0.2 degree c, but also that 0.1 is enough. www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Temperature-Rise-and-Ovulation.html

I have always said that I am no expert, mind you.

3cats - Talk about mixed messages from your DH. Sorry to hear that he still feels that he doesn't want another baby. What do you think you will do? Is he just worried about the financial side of having 4 do you think? I am sure that when you fall he will be over the moon. Fingers crossed

mrsmc tries just temp only as you suggested. this time like FF, no ovulation detected yet. maybe its anovulatory after all but i guess it's not all over until af arrives .

Ready, I think I will just carry on and hope he just 'gives in' at the appropriate times .
It could be worse, he could actually put his foot down and say no more unprotected bd'ing. This will be the 10th cycle, so he shouldn't be too upset if I do get pg. He knows how much I want this. Very selfish of me really but he was the one who wanted the 3rd, not me! How things change.

Well the rain has well and truly arrived . Just in time for the BH weekend.

Morning All.

How is everyone after the bank holiday weekend?

I am soooooooo stressed. Had one of the most stressful weekends in ages. My own fault too!

To cut it short.
DS and DD1 were meant to be going to Eurodisney today with Grandma and Grandad. My parents arrived on Sunday. Mum promptly asked for the childrens passports so that she didn't have to panic at the last minute.

Dh looked at them and announced that they had expired 2 weeks ago! Oh S**T.
I have been on the phone non stop since then to passport offices immigration etc.

So we took a risk this morning and sent them off to Waterloo in the hope that their old passports (only 2 weeks out of date), the new forms and photos fully filled in and countersigned, a letter from me authorising my parents to take them and a photo copy of my passport will get them through passport control.
Needless to say my Mum is not happy.
We tried everything but it's a bank holiday weekend and everywhere is closed.
As she has spent £1000 on this 3 day trip I am crossing my fingers that I get a call at 9.30am to say they are on the Eurostar.

I did speak to the British immigration in Paris and they said that it would be upto the French at Waterloo but they might let them through. She gave the impression that the English would be fine with it.

So please keep you fingers crossed for them.

DH and I both thought that the childrens passports were 10 yr ones like ours . We do feel rather silly now!!!

I think all this stress will delay Ov (which is a good thing).

Huge relief.
Ds and DD! are now on the Eurostar. Passport control were very kind!

OMG!!! 3cats - talk about stress!! Hugs. Hope you are ok now.

Just to let you know ladies I am away for a few weeks now. Visiting family and friends and trying to forget about ttc for a month. Looking forward to returning to BFPs for 3cats and city and mum03 and any other chart spotter that happens to be lurking but not posting here

Take care everyone.

Ready x

3Cats - what a mare!! thank goodness it all worked out in the end! Stress or what

Ready - have a lovely trip hon - be thinking of you {{{hugs}}}

Cityangel- hope all is good with you - how is the new job going?

CD3 today. Had the blood test for FSH and just have to wait on that an dh's sperm test results.

Feeling very low. Had another big row with dh yesterday. Job is getting a bit better. My new boss anounced he is going to be a Dad and 4 colleagues have recently become new fathers! I am contemplating using the CBFM in secret which means lugging it to work

Am very fed up to be honest sorry for bring the thread down. I know it's even harder for people struggling with known issues.

3catsoo did they get through to France?

Have a fab time Ready.

Yes they did get to France City. Nice immigration people at Waterloo . They are back at midnight tonight.

Sorry you are feeling down. So DH has had his sperm test then?

Big hugs to you.

Hi Seaside. How are you?

CD 17 for me. Ov predicted for today but no +ve opks yet so probably be later. Had faint lines yesterday so could be the build up.
DH was trying very hard last night to not give in to my advances. Got there in the end but it took ages. I was so close to giving up, especially as no +opks.
But my parents are here until Sat afternoon now so there's no chance of any BDing until Sat night .

Hi to everyone else.

Still no +ve opk

I've normally had at least one by CD17. Could this mean my cycles are getting longer?

Usually Ov 2 days after 1st +opk.

Feeling stressed and obsessed again.

How's it going everyone?

Tough day spent with a newborn :0(

Morning All.

How are you all today?

Must go and chart spot.

Nobody on here again .

I had my appt with thyroid speciallist this morning. He is going to monitor me on a 6 weekly basis. If I get pg I have to see him asap to up my dosage.

Also had my fertility clinic appt today. No more testing on me. Just waiting for DHs sperm analysis in Sept.
If he's ok then we will be referred onto another fertility unit for IUI. But we will have to pay as we already have children. (DH would not be up for that).
Fertility guy seemed to think my thyroid was effecting fertility and said I should maybe stop trying until thyroid is sorted out .
Needless to say I won't be stopping for as long as DH keeps giving in.

Ladies hello! Having a crazy, busy day so can?t catch up now but I hope you are all well and I?ll do what I can to catch up later.

Just wanted to let you know that we saw a little gumy bear this morning on the scan with a madly flickering heartbeat which is apparently very strong CRL was 14mm and we are apparently now measuring 7+6 (would be 8 weeks today based on LMP) we were so happy we felt like we can breathe after holding out breaths for so long! We got a little pic too, can?t see a thing really and DH has banned me from showing anyone (he?s embarrassed ) but I know what?s there! Bloods are fine too. More from me later!

That's great MrsMc. So pleased all is going well.

Ladies sorry that it has been so long since I posted for you, it's not that I am not thinking about you, the opposite really!

3cats - what a nightmare the whole passport thing sounded! glad it all worked out ok In a funny way, it must be lovely to know that your DH just can't resist you, sort of there! I wanted to tell you actually that an ex work colleague who had been trying for ages and had a MC last year is now pg after a thyroid issue was detected and treated - it seems that the thyroid was causing a huge issue. I have everything crossed that the meds make a massive difference to you too. Are the meds making you feel any different? What is your DH's diet like? I was watching Living the other night and Zita West as talking about sperm counts and that diet etc can make all the difference, would your DH realise what you were up to if you made him sperm enhancing smoothies just to make sure you are covering all bases? what's the latest on the OPK front?

City - sorry you are feeling down hon I must be so hard going what you are going through but I am glad to hear that work is getting better snding huge hugs, here to listen if you need to talk

Thanks MrsMC :0) Hello everyone.

No Nookie all week as dh has his sperm test tomorrow

My new boss announced he is going to be a Dad in my first week, then there was an erticle on the fertility boom aaaargh

Hope it goes well tomorrow City x

So dh sperm test went as well as can be expected. I feel a bit bad as I was away but he said it would have been embarassing if I was there!

Right now I feel fed-up. Usual reasons but all the misplaced it will happen tomorrow hope has now long gone. 10 months in and the sad reality is kicking in. Whilst I have so much to be thankful asking for biology to work as frequently warned it would is obviously too much!

I really enjoyed my day out of the country today which envolved babies during travel, lunch and shopping stages. Obviously its a coincidence but a very unfunny reminder. I particularly appreciated (not) mum referencing grandkids would be nice and this would fit you if you were pregnant!

AAAArgh

On a more investigative note where is everyone? This thread is very quiet where are you all? How are the pg graduates?

Ready how is dh getting on? Where have you been?

3catstoo any news?

MrsMC, Seaside... Everyone else (including lurkers)?
PS: If I missed anyone I was up at 6

Hi Ladies.

Mrsmc The meds have not made me feel any different. In fact I'm feeling more tired by the day! Hopefully they will up my dose next week.

OPKs suggest I ov'd on CD20 this time. It's getting later each month now (a side effect of underactive thyroid). Managed to bd on day before Ov (+ve opk) and day of Ov. Fingers crossed.

How are you doing?

City Sorry to hear you are feeling down. How long do DHs results take?
Big hugs to you sweetie.

It is very quiet on here lately, not sure where everyone has gone
