Chart Stalkers March 2008

[Loola]

Oh ROM - I am so hoping this is it for you

Sookie - I know how you feel, its got to be your turn soon. I really cant wait to see your BFP

 

[babydust]

sorry rom but i cant help it
i just knew i was going to see this when i logged in this morning
fingers crossed for you, i think you sjould call the epu NOW and get your bloods done.

 

[sookie]

Morning all,

ROM - I can imagine how you are feeling, but just remember what they told you - that the ectopic was just bad luck. There's no reason to expect that because the line is faint that there's a problem. Some BFPs take their time. FXed for you

Loola - thanks hun I feel the same about your BFP. When's it our turn huh?!

Hi to everyone else and thanks for the good luck wishes.

I resisted the urge to test this morning. I am only 11DPO. My LP has been about 11 days though so I will test tomorrow since I am leaving to go away then as well.

I really don't think I will be though. I was so grumpy with DH last night. Especially after the phone call from that friend who is pregnant. It is her and her DH that we are going to stay with tomorrow night as we leave from the airport in their city on Sunday morning for Providencia. So DH says to me "you can't resent T.... for being pregnant". To which I respond "I bloody well can" and roll over in bed and ignore him for half an hour. Not very mature really. I was amazingly tired yesterday so it could have been that but it could be AF arriving. Time will tell.

All right. Off to work. Glad it's Friday. I hope the weather has improved for you guys over there. Will check in later.

Hi ladies. I was going to start charting this month but my instant ear thermometer is broken & I usually get woken up by a crying baby so can't wait 30 seconds with the thermometer under my arm til I get up. What thermometers do you use? What's the best one to use?
Also, I usually get woken up by Austin any time from 5 - 7am so what time is it best for me to take my temperature? Am I right in thinking it should be the same time every day, but only if you've not already got up (i.e. if I take it at 7am & Austin wakes up at 5am then the 7am temperature will be wrong).

You will need a BBT (basal thermometer) for charting really. You can get them on ebay cheaply. The digital ones dont take long to give yu your temp and they beep when they are ready to be read - about a minute after you put it in your mouth.
You need to take you temp before you move and before you do anything else. It shouldnt matter too much that its not at exactly the same time each morning - obviously that is the ideal , but I never wake up at the same time and I still get a chart that tells me what I need to know.

Afternoon ladies how are we today?
Tasha
ROM sounds good il keep my finger crossed for you
Everyone else

Well my temps slightly up on yesterday so not sure if thats good or bad Still have achy shoulders and thankfuly that itchiness inst there so finger's crossed its gone

 

[Loola]

My broodniess is now over the scale. I have a colleagues baby boy here in the office. I just had a lovely cwtch and then he started trying to suckle me so I quickly passed him back to his mum! He is so gorgeous.

I have to admit I do find it very hard sitting in a room full of mothers comparing their labours, and everything else they have been through, its like Im an outcast. They just dont talk to me at all as I dont have the 'knowledge'. I hope in the future Ill never treat childless women in this way.

 

[reallyoldmum]

Loola I love that cwtch word - no one uses it up here but when my two were little they were always being passed around for a cwtch

Went to the EPAS unit - they were fantastic - although they did one of their urine tests and said it was negative but I was clutching my sticks and they agreed that there were definately lines!! Apparently their tests arn't that sensitive. Anyway they have taken my bloods and I can ring in the morning for the results - they also scanned me! What fantastic service was that, as I told them about the pains I have been having and being worried about having that + test 3 weeks ago - there is no sign of an ectopic at the moment but then there wouldnt necessarily be if I was just pregnant this time - apparently my lining is nice and thick but there were no visable signs of a pregnancy - they said not to worry about that as I would have to have HCG over 1000 for anything to show anyway. I can ring for my results after 9.00 am in the morning. They also gave me an internal and the scan was internal so now I am worried it will bring AF on!! The weirdest thing is I have tons of ewcm ish stuff now.

Just got back and had to poas just to see and after only holding for an hour and a half there is still a faint line on the Clear Blue test......

Please please keep your fingers crossed for me tomorrow.

 

[choklatemunky]

ROM sounds like they couldnt have been any more helpful!
Glad you dont have to wait long for your results.
I have everything crossed here!

(Will prob not be able to get on tomorrow as we are having DHs girls over this weekend and they will take up all of my time and more knowing them! but I will try to get on asap to see what is going on)
Thinking of you

 

[babydust]

good luck tomorrow rom the good thing is that you have had your hcg done recently to so you can campare with that, and the cm sounds good

i will be on here first thing in the morning, good luck to sookie for testing tomorrow as well but we cant loose two of our best stalkers in the one day

my tests arrive tomorrow as well so i will be testing to to see what the line is doing now

 

[reallyoldmum]

Claire does that CM sound good - I was worried that the tests were picking up me ovulating.....???? I thought you should have more creamy cm when you are pregnant not ewcm.....!!

 

[Chill]

Oh ROM, I am so excited, nervous hoping for you. please

Good luck Sookie and anyone else testing. Am trying to keep away a wee bit as this is my 'sane' period!

Chill
x

 

[Loola]

ROM!! I am so excited!! I really really hope you have good news tomorrow morning!
I forget that cwtch is a Welsh word I use it so often, I must sound really Welshy!

 

[babydust]

rom i always had a mixuture of both when pregnant but more so ewcm maybe the lubricant they used to do the internal scan has mixed with your cm as well.

 

[reallyoldmum]

Oh Claire thats good to know - it was when I went for a wee before my internal so it was just good old discharge.... well at least I only have to wait for tomorrow morning now - I am so scared I am jinxing myself by getting a bit excited.....

 

[choklatemunky]

I forget that cwtch is a Welsh word I use it so often, I must sound really Welshy!

I did wonder what on earth you were on about - I thought you had mistyped something but couldnt figure out what it could be even then

FX ROM and Sookie for 2moro then (and hope you can make sense of what is going on soon Babydust)

 

[sally12]

Lots of luck for tomorrow ladies. I think it is about time we had some more BFPs!

[Flossy82]

Thanks rach i was a bit worried it was looking haywire for some reason and that my temp was slightly up today

 

[kmac]

Oooh rom - good luck in the morning!
And sookie too!


Found out today there is a strong internal candidate for the job on Tuesday so no way am I postponing baby making for that!! We're back on!

The interview on monday is a temp thing in my current place of work, only until November - so am going to focus my efforts on getting that!!

I spent all afternoon with my friends new twin boys, and my other friends 5-month old. I could not believe I had considered postponing ttc!! I want one!!

I am getting my hair done tomorrow, so I will follow on from Loola and put a pic on photobucket - thinking of a drastic change but will probably chicken out....

See you in the morning!

 

[rach]
