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

3cats - Well, the consultant didn't say 2-3 days, he just said plenty - but that is the aim yes.

MrsMc - Heehee, no, they don't have team baths anymore. Not allowed cos of health and safety regs. It's all showers nowadays. I often wonder though if the amount of physical activity he does could affect him

Ready - oh well! guess showers are much more hygenic!

3Cats - I'll package it up tonight.

Do hot showers damage sperm too?

Don't think so, I think it is more the action of the "housing" being steeped in hot water and their temperature therefore rising that can be an issue

can someone look at my chart please says no ov yet but on cd 28 of 28 day cycle and no af had mc may 07,not sure about the +opk it was the darkest line i got on cheapie internet opks but not as dark as control line but opk next day was defo -

Hello all.

Sorry about BFN City.

MrsMc, I have read lots of the book now. I have started to cut things out of my diet for the detox and also I am trying to eat more alkaline foods.
This new regime has not been helped by the ulcer on the end of my tongue. So painful all of the time. I've never had one there before. I've had for nearly a week. It does feel a bit better today though.

I'm tempted by the MLD but can't find anywhere locally that offer it. Zita West clinic charges £80. I guess if in a few months I'm still ttc with no success, then I might give it a go. Sounds good for your general health anyway, not just ttc.

Fab book - thanks .

How are you Ready and Thinking. Anyone I've missed too.

Thanks 3catsoo getting tough now but I'm trying to hang in there. It's funny (but not) when something you think is the inevitable for many years becomes the unlikely/ impossible.

Was really hopeful this month Next stop hospital again for the 'just wait some more NHS diagnosis'

How is everyone else doing?

Good luck ladies... I am having a little break for a while, it's all getting too much

Oh Ready big hugs. I understand but will desperately miss you xxx

I will be thinking about you all the time and will leave messages out just in case

Good luck! I hope you get some answers from the doc and dh is sorted for the season.

Big Hugs Ready.
We will miss you and hope you get success soon.

I am really having a wee break... but I just wanted to pop back, I had to dash earlier, but wanted to say more.

I just am at the end of my tether really. But I hope to be back to my normal chipper, ever-so-slightly annoying positive self very soon.

City - sweets, I will miss you lots too. cat me anytime, and if we end up in the capital, I'll hunt you down for that cocktail you promised.

3cats - I hope that you get that thyroid sorted, and your gp takes you seriously, and by the time I return, your DH will be 100% convinced another baby is what you need

Thanks so much for your support over the last several months. I won't be gone for too long. x

I'm waiting out my long cycle and hoping that next month I might ovulate or have a normal length cycle or maybe both if I'm lucky.

Fingers crossed for you Thinking.

Morning All.

Well I've given up hope on this cycle.
My opks only arrived this morning so not sure if I've ov'd already.

DH and I had a big row at 2am, this morning.
TMI warning !
I couldn't sleep but as always he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow (not even a kiss goodnight !).

At 1.30am he woke to go to the loo, so I thought I would make the most of the oportunity and pounce ! . Well with a few days of ewcm, I thought ov was due.
He was not impressed but carried on as he was too tired to fight me .
I was happy and thought I'd succeeded.
Not so. After a (fair) while he decided it was taking too long and that it wasn't going to happen FOR HIM ! Rolled over and said no more.

I was furious. He hadn't considered me in this and just thought of his own gratification (or lack of).

I then decided to have a bit of a tantrum (I think mainly spurred by my lack of success in getting his sperm at my crucial time! )

I told him something along the lines of him getting the same treatment from me when he isn't so tired and he is in the mood for bding.

Sorry, you probably didn't want to know any of that but I had to share it to relive some of my anger.

I'm so hoping that I've ovd already and we had done enough already.

The fact that DH said we have to stop ttc in Sept as it's been long enough, has made me all stressed about it happening this month.

He is off for 2 weeks from next Monday and AF will be due in that time. I'm dreading it.

Hope you all had a better weekend than me.

I shall carry on wittering away to myself .

DH and I had another debate last night. I felt so stressed as I had a +ve opk yesterday evening.

In the end DH figured that he would get to sleep sooner if he just gave in .
Sometimes the nagging works !

Now I have to plan the same again tonight.
I'm banning tv for a few days in the hope that our sex life perks up a bit . DH agreed that if we watch a bit of tv after eating, he starts to fall asleep and is not capable of much (not the case when he's been out for a drink though !)

I went to see a friend today who had her 4 th baby on saturday.
Only popped in for a sec to give gifts etc.
The baby was gorgeous.
I'm going back at the end of the week for a proper visit and to have a cuddle.

My friend was lovely. She knows the story and is so supportive. I was hoping we would fall for number 4 together. Not to be.

Hope you are all well, wherever you are !!!

I should add that DH is not totally lazy. He has a long journey to and from work. 2 hours each way every day, so that's why he's tired.

I'm just not very sympathetic when I'm left with a sleepy husband every night and during the weekends.

I had a chart spot just.
Noticed that Rainbowdays chart says + hpt on CD 25, last Thursday.

She hasn't been on here for a few weeks.
Anyone else know anything. Looks like good news if that chart is upto date.

Me again.

Just found Rainbowdays on Due April thread.

Huge congrats Rainbowdays, if you are there.

3catstoo,

Sorry your DH is being funny. I know what you mean, when THEY are too tired the wife is being unreasonable in being horny at them but if we are tired we are still being the unreasonable one

Hi all, sorry I have not been here, I am currently posting on several threads as I don't know quite where I belong. As you know I had a miscarriage on the 2nd July and am surprised to be pg again so quickly. But unfortunately as last time the pg tests are staying as faint positives only (I have done different makes too) so I am feeling like I might well be losing this baby too. But I don't know for sure yet, so I am in a no-mans-land right now. I will either be back to let you know that I have m/c'd or that I have finally got a Big Fat Positive. But until then I am inbetween!

3cats - sorry to hear that dh has been less than obliging with you, some men just take ttc too personally and feel the pressure too much. But it makes it 100 times worse for you. Thank you for spotting my chart though!

Hi to everyone else.

RainbowDays,

Everything crossed that your bean is a sticky one.

Would your doctor do a blood test or two for you and then you would know for sure if your hormone levels were climbing or not ?

Keep us posted.

Big hugs to you Rainbowdays. Hope this is the one that sticks.
Fingers crossed. Keep us posted.

Hi Thinking. How are you doing?

DH gave in again last night, with no pressure from me.
He's away tonight though so he gets a night off and I get to hope Ov is over for this cycle and we've done enough this time.
I know I shouldn't pressure but this feeling has not gone away in 3 years and I feel I have to give it my all. If it doesn't happen at least I know we both tried.

AF will be due whilst we are on hols, so will be taking a test with me along with the sanitary stuff for AF.

TBH I'm bored. I want a brand new cycle, so we have a chance of ovulating. I want aF to appear, so I can have a big glass of wine.

I am sick of 'finding' symptoms when the BFN's test have told me all I need to know...just because I keep feeling queasy and tired doesn't mean anything, as they are typical PMT symptoms (apparantly)

So I am really hopeing that the witch turns up sooner rather than later

Forgot to add...yeah on the sucessful jumping on your DH. My DH went to sleep ...grrr. I know it is only for practice but really.

Hi all, just thought I would come back to let you know that after a week of faint tests I finally got a BFP big and fat so, looks like I am pg again. Hoping this one stays in place.

Wishing you all soon to get bpf's too.
