Chart Stalkers January 2008

[Chrissy1]

Claire - so sorry the evil witch got you....it's such a bummer. I booked our holiday the other day and before I booked it I did loads of research about flying while PG. Basically they said that flying in early pg is safe unless you fly more than 5 long haul flights a week . Apparently the radiation levels are stronger the higer you get and normal short haul flights fly at lower altitudes than long haul, and they are shorting in duration so are perfectly safe. The other thing that I read was that the radiation level are so low that nothing has ever really been proved that the radiation has any effect on a baby and you would have to be in the air for such a long time for it to have an effect on a developing fetus (sp) that the only people who are really at any risk whatsoever are long haul cabin crew members. So don't stop TTC and look forward to your teip to Malta

Thanks Chrissy, you've put my mind at ease

i wasnt really sure were to post this, it has nothing to do with ttc or my chart, but i dont really have anyone else to tell, i found out today that one of my exes hung himself last night, we used to be really close b4 i met dh,i was seeing him for a few months until i met dh, every now and then i would bump into him in the pub or local supermarket, which made dh feel uneasy, about a year ago he told me he still had feelings for me and asked me if i wasnt with dh if i would consider seeing him, i told him that i couldnt answer that as i was with dh and very happy,i met him a few months ago and he told me that his girlfriend just had a baby, he seemed really happy, he was always a jack the lad kind of guy that had loads of mates, i just cant understand how someone can feel that bad and no one notice

i am just soo sad and shocked that he has taken his own life and dont really feel that i can let dh know how upset i am incase he gets a bit funny about it.

OMG, that's awful. So sorry, it's an awful position for you to be in.

Sending you lots of hugs

 

[CB23]

oh gosh awful just awful, his poor partner and child

such a shocking awful situation for anyone to be in, and I can understand so upsetting for you

 

[reallyoldmum]

Oh Claire this happened to us a couple of years ago although he was a mutual friend - seemed to have everything, successful company, lovely house, lots of money but something was obviously not right for him..... Its such a final way of ending it somehow. I am sure you DH knows you well enough to know that you could not hear of this happening to someone you were once close to and not be upset - it sounds like you need some real hugs not cyber ones at the moment so I would pick your moment - tell DH that although since you had met him there was nothing but friendship for this bloke but you still feel sad about it..... As I say I am sure he knows you well enough to realise you are far too compassionate a person not to be sad. PM me if you ever want to talk - its such a shock.....

Well goodness knows whats happening to me I have been spotting now for 3 days - yesterday my pains were almost as bad as before and I was sure that AF would come in full flow but NO I'm not sure if this is to personal to ask you ladies but hey I will anyway - its been so long since I had a proper AF (as you know I thought I have had them but they werent) - when you spot before AF is it sort of very dark brown stringy bits???? sort of mucusy? I dont know whether to be worried about this bleeding or not!!

Any help would be much appreciated

 

[Chrissy1]

claire - How awful for you. I still occasionally see an ex of mine and he mails me from time to time too and even though I feel nothing for him anymore I would still be upset if I found out something like that. If you don't feel confortable telling your DH could you speak to a family member or friend or work collegue who could give you a proper hug and a sympathetic ear? I know it's not much but you can PM if me you want a chat or anything

ROM - From what you've described there with brown and stringy spotting I get this every month. I never spot before AF starts but I always get this right at the very end of AF each month. I always think it's the last remnants of AF coming out for that month, it usually lasts for a day or so but then my AF will stop completely. Hopefully it will mean the same for you and will signal that the end of your bleeding is close

to everyone else.... hope you are all well and your temps are doing what you want them to do. Mine are still on a steady rise if they carry on I'll spontaneously combust!!!

 

[CB23]

Claire how are you today

Chrissy good news about the temp rise

ROM - I have had exactly what you describe every AF since mc. It could have been that I had it before and never took any notice as I wasn't ttc.

 

[babydust]

thanks girls for your support
rom this guy was much the same, he had his own coffee shop that was doing well, nice house and car i didnt get much sleep last night, just couldnt stop thinking about it, i keep wondering if i had made a point to meet him in the last week would there have been anything i could have done or pick up on, but i know probabally not i dont think it would have hit me soo much if it was some kind of accident.

rom i usually get that kind of spotting at the end of my af, if i spot at the begining its usually pink watery. have you thought anymore about taking agnus castus again? would you have had a normal lining build up if you still had some hcg

chrissy your temps are rising nicely

ff still cant decide when i ov because i have missing temps again

sorry af got you claire

 

[Loola]

Babydust - so sorry to hear you news. The same kind of thing happened to me about 5 years ago. I found out than an ex had hanged himself. I was so shocked. He was the life and soul of every party, the Joker of the gang. We had never been serious but we had been friends for a long time. He had stupidly been caught with alot of pills on him by the Police so had been in prison for about a year. When he got out he met a really lovely girl, and they had a baby together. He started a well paid job working for the council and he seemed to be really sorting his life out. Then one day his mother got home and found him hanging in what was his old bedroom in her house. We have no idea why he did it. I guess he must have been really depressed but we didnt know it as he always acted the clown.

ROM - I also get what you are describing at the end of every AF that I have.

Chrissy - really hope those temps keep rising!

 

[reallyoldmum]

great I havent bleed since 10th December and now I'm having the end days bleeding first!! I have to laugh or I'll cry - I thought I didnt have to see my consultant until my next scan but she rang yesterday and asked me to go to her clinic on Wednesday morning - probably a good thing at least I can ask her about this daft bleeding...... Dave is really getting fed up of me now - keep on saying I will get back to work then something else happens and I spend all day worrying about it..... Its been going on for 14 weeks now and soon I will be broke.......

Claire listen to me when I say you could not have changed anything for this guy - we all went through the same - what if and maybe's but at the end of the day hanging yourself is not something you do lightly - he will have had very deep rooted problems that by this time he would be very unlikely to share with anyone........ I know it is awful but I found some comfort in the fact that obviously our friend wanted to die and at least it was quick this way - most people who are crying for help do not choose hanging, they will take tablets or slit their wrists. Anyway sweetheart try and remember the nice times you had together and celebrate that you knew him and added to his life in some way. x x x x x

Corr Chrissy your temps are looking amazing - definately going the right way - fingers crossed.

Loola how did you get on with that promotion? Good news I hope. x x x

CB Claire hope the wine went down well

 

[babydust]

omg, dont want to get my hopes up but i just tested and i think cheri22 was right i got a faint line, not a shadow like i have had before but a line but i am only 8dpo so i will see what happens in next few days so dont congratulate me yet, but this has deffenetly taken my mind of things a bit.

 

[CB23]

OMG everything crossed!

 

[reallyoldmum]

OH MY GOD how exciting Claire - what did you test with? are you sure you are only 8 dpo with those temps missing you could have ov'd earlier Bloody hell now I have another reason not to work..... got to celebrate a little bit

 

[babydust]

what you like rom, any excuse
i used an internet cheapy, i will go and get a clearblue after i take the girls to nursery. ff cant decide when ov was they say between cd 14 and 17
and since i tested i feel sick and bloated

 

[reallyoldmum]

Try a first response if you can get them - I think they are really good early on - I never had any doubt when there was a line and it came up straight away (hmmmmm just thought about that and thinking about it I was pregnant for 4 months without it being picked up on any tests so completely ignore me!!!!)

Now dont drink anymore and certainly dont pee till you get back from nursery - going to have a coffee to help me over the excitment.

 

[Loola]

OMG!!! Babydust!! I am so excited for you!! Cant wait to hear about your next test!! Wooop! Another correct Cheri prediction too, wow!!

ROM - I didnt get the promotion, nevermind. Taking on more work would have only caused me more stress which I dont really need whilst we are TTC, every cloud an all that.

 

[CB23]

Sorry you didn't get the promotion Loola

 

[reallyoldmum]

Oh Loola nevermind as you say it will give you more time to indulge in the TTC thing

 

[Chrissy1]

OMG claire......I nearly jumped out my chair when I read that, and I'm in the middle of the office...

That means we'll have had two BFP's in January in stalkers.... how exciting.

My cheri prediction said January too but I've still got a few more days until I test. Not really had any symptoms apart from extreme tiredness but I'm putting that down to doing too much over christmas and over work.....although you can hardly call being on here all day overwork can you??

What time will you be doing your test this afternoon????? I'll have to make sure I log back on laters to see what the result is


Good luck, I've got everything crossed for you
