Chart Stalkers February 2008

[reallyoldmum]

Morning ladies

Just wanted to say hello - been really busy this week and feel much better for not spending hours and hours worrying about TTC - having said that I dont have much reason to as FF this morning whipped my lines away!! I didn't think I had ovulated and obviously my body isnt right from my ectopic - the strange thing is I am pretty sure I did ovulate in December and then not this month - I wonder if because the fetal sac was attached to my right ovary whether I was due to ovulate from the right side and that somehow stopped it happening....... oh well just hope AF starts soon and I can test my theory......

I have everything crossed here for all of you testing tomorrow

And a special X to babydust

 

[Trudyscrumptious76]

Oh babydust. So sorry for your loss. Look after yourself hun.

 

[Chrissy1]

I've posted a reply to you in first tri claire but just to say again how sorry I am that this has happened to you sending you all the you need

How are all tomorrows testers doing?? I've still not got any symptoms and my temps have gone down a bit for the last couple of days but I had a fever in the days before so I kinda expected hem to come down. They are still above the coverline though so I suppose I'm still in with a slip of a chance tomorrow. I feel a little bit at the minute too but I suppose that could just be the remnants of this horrible bout of bronchitis and flu I'm still going through.

FX for everyone for the morning......let's hope we get a good few BFP's

p.s. Happy valentines day and many to everyone

Hey

Well, unfortunately for me I dont think one of those BFPs is gonna be mine Chrissy. Spotting is much redder and more of it so I think AF will be here properly by the end of the day (typical that she comes on whats meant to be the most romatic day of the year! )

Although, I can honestly say I dont feel so bad about it this month - I was really down last month when I got AF and just got all sad but this month all I can think is - oh well she's here, I hope goes away soon so I can start again! Its so odd as im not sure why Im being so different about it...but I feel much better for it!

I hope others in the testathon get BFPs! Someone is bound to surely - Feb hasnt been a very good month for BFPs so far as I dont think there have been many on here at all (correct me if Im wrong) BUT.....come on chartstalkers - we need our quota!

[sookie]

Babydust Claire - I just logged on again. I am so sorry. It's really not fair after all you have already been through. I hope that you will start to feel better really soon. Lots and lots of hugs

 

[Kittykins]

Good morning all,

Sorry I've not been on for a couple of days.

babydust - I am soooo sorry. Whatever you decide to do - whether ttc again or decide you've had enough - we're here to listen and support you.



choklatemunky, sorry AF's got you.

To all those testing tomorrow, and I have all my fingers and toes crossed!


If anyone wants their chart stalked, let me know - I saw a couple of requests but they might be out of date now!

 

[gerb]

baby dust- so sorry to read ur news

i think i am going to join chart stalkers next month if that is ok? i have bought a thermometre and joined fertility friend, i figure if i really need to poas almost every day i might as well be peeing on an opk rather than an hpt!!

my cycle seems really messed up. i had spotting early in the cycle which iv now read could be ovulation and we didnt really bd around this time.. on sunday i had huge amounts of cm so i dont know whats going on

iv been finding ttc very frustrating and really getting me down- and i know thats silly as its not been that long, but i think its to do with being pregant before my babies due date of 15th may...anyway hopefully i can join in and get some extrasupport off u guys if thats ok

good luck to u all tomorrow and hope theres lots of bfps this month xxx

 

[choklatemunky]

Gerb - of course you can join us - the more the merrier!

Fertility Friend (FF) is really good and Ive found charting really helpful.
TTC is really very frustrating....we all understand where you are coming from on that score. Sorry to see you have had a m/c.

Keep positive Hun - I know its easier said than done but a positive attitude can really help x

 

[gerb]

hopefully charting will give me something to think about without it being negative- i think im very negative...
im still doing my tutorials and my quizzes! think i only have one more day tho so hopefully i can start charting and get into practice before doing it properly next month
i will try to be more positive in future xx

 

[choklatemunky]

Charting has given me something to focus on and everyone in here is really nice and so helpful - if you have any charting questions just post them as someone will know - and no one will think anything is a silly question!

Good Luck and even if you dont input your data til next month (who knows you might not even need to ) you could still note it down - then it will get you used to taking your temp as soon as you wake up and it will become 2nd nature. Its really a lot easier than I thought it was going to be

 

[gerb]

thank you for the encouragement- gonna try and look forward to it, tho of course if i didnt have to i wouldnt complain!!!

 

[Loola]

Yes! Join us gerb! Everyone in here is so lovely and helpful, I find charting is really interesting and helpful too

Hi all

I'm not sure if there is any point in me testing tomorrow.
I had loads of CM today - more than i have ever seen in one go! - so when I got home i did an opk, and got an almost positive. I had stopped doing them as the lines were always really faint but this time it's definitely positive!!!!!!!!!!!! So maybe I haven't ov'd when I thought??
Am very confused but off to get BDing!!!

 

[Kittykins]

kmac - I think you should BD tonight and test tomorrow anyway. With both an OPK and an HPT.

It is possible you haven't ov'ed yet, but even taking out that dip that could be an ov dip, it still looks like your temps moved into a higher range around that time. Sometimes we get funny charts like that - mine for December, for example - and we don't know till Af comes. On the other hand, an OPK can pick up HCG, so if you did ov that day... do you see where this is leading?

I think you should assume you're oving now, but POAS tomorrow anyway - just in case. You can tell yourself you're joining in with the spirit of the forum...

 

[satch]

well temperature was still high this morning, had some AF pains and my belly is really bloated. AF not arrived yet....what's going on. Something definitely is. I hope its not AF and its "something" else.

Is bloating a symptom?

 

[kmac]

Thanks Kitty,
I will test with an HPT in the morning.
To be honest I did one at the same time as the OPK and there was nothing (seeing as I was peeing in the cup anyway)... although I know it's better to use FMU for those.

Managed to get some BDing in before dinner - fortunately DH was happy to oblige!
