chart stalkers

[Mildly]

lol, I hope my bloating isn't a legacy from my Christmas greed too

Now come on kitty, get in the spirit of things and imagine symptoms like I have

Hi kmac, welcome to chart stalkers

Chrissy, thanks for your stalking, hopefully my temp will rise again tomorrow

 

[Bagpuss17]

Hi all,

Mildly, you're chart is looking fabulous. My temps went a bit lower for 2/3 days before rising again at the same stage as you when I was pg with my LO. Really hope you get the chart stalkers off to a positive (excuse the pun) start in 2008 with a BFP.

Welcome Kmac, hope you find charting useful.

Well it looks like I'm in for an even longer cycle than usual again The last 2 days I got really strong lines on the opks, which I usually get a day or so before I get a +. Today it's gone back to a faint line. No breast tenderness and even my CM has dried up completely. I usually get 4/5 days of EWCM prior to ov'ing. I've hardly had any this month.

I can't bear having really long cycles 32/33 days is long enough.

Pre-seed won't affect CM will it? It hasn't caused anybody elses to dry up has it?

We'll continue to BD every other day until I get signs then we'll ramp it up more. I'm trying not to talk about when I ov to my DH because I think it just adds a bit more pressure on him. Trying to keep it as relaxed as possible.

Hola chicas

Well yes I am a lucky duck and am still on holidays 8) We are now in my fav colombian town called Villa de Leyva. It is a dream. Fantastic weather, about 20 degrees every day, awesome food and drink and the cutest spanish colonial architecture in the country. It is so cute... All cobblestones and whitewashed buildings with stunning spanish courtyards to sit in and drink colombian coffee or wine. We came here last april and had to come back.

Anyway, I am glad to see that you are all still here and stalkling. Sorry to hear about illnesses over xmas and elusive ovulations, but Mildly I have my fxed for you

We have decided to head back home in a few days time and so I will be back to stalking properly and I am missing temping so I think that I will start again

Wishing you all a fantastic new years

Morning

Feeling better today - off to Birmingham with Josh to spend his birthday money then off out for his birthday meal tonight - I cant wait for beans on toast for tea!!!

Well FF has put my lines back again - not sure what is going on but at least if I did OV when they say I did I should see AF in 10 more days and hopefully that will mean my body is eventually getting back to normal!!!

Good luck to Kitty and Mildly - hope your temps stay high

 

[Mildly]

Morning everyone

Kitty, I want to see your today temp, hope it's high

ROM FXed you get AF in 10 days, it must be horrible waiting for things to return to normal Have a great day shopping with Josh

Hey sookie, glad your holiday is still going well. I demand more pictures Can't wait to have you back stalking!

Bagpuss, I don't recall that preseed has caused my CM to dry up but then I don't seem to get very much in the first place - I blame not drinking enough water though I don't know whether drinking grapefruit juice and eating baby carrots work to help increase CM, it might be worth giving them a shot. Hope you ovulate really soon though

Thanks to everyone for your comments on my chart I still have sore boobs, lots of bloatedness and I fell really thirsty all the time - not sure if that is a valid symptom or not I still think the agnus castus may have warped my LP length last month and my most common cycle length in previous months has been 33 days so still not out of the woods yet. However the chart looks pretty cool at the moment

Got quite a nice day planned today, going to get my hair cut in Cambridge and then OH and I are going to see I am Legend at the cinema

Hello all

ROM hope you have a good day glad you are feeling better.

Sookie sounds like you are having a fantastic time lucky you!

Mildly it is looking good - everything crossed for you, we need a BFP!!!!

Bagpuss I have noticed that I have not had much CM at all this month and I used pre-seed last month and this month but I don't think it is linked. I assume it just varies month to month? I had some most days but not a great deal. Hope it isn't going to be a long cycle for you (well, actually what I hope is that it's a 9 month cycle!!).

Kitty those sound like good symptoms, I have my fingers crossed for you too, when are you going to test?

Chrissy how are you feeling today? Did you got to the docs about your chest? Hope it isn't affecting your BDing at this crucial time

Welcome to chart stalkers kmac

Loola how you doing today - still got sore boobs? That is a good symptom!!

Babydust fingers crossed for 5th January funny how so many people get the Cheri22 pediction and it relates so much to them or their OH. I may have to consider getting mine done but I worry she will say 'I see no babies in your future' so I'm too chicken

Hi to Gypsy and scones

I should be doing the housework, not sitting here but oh well not much to report, ov'd on day 15 again (I thought it was meant to be that your ov date can move around and your LP is constant, mine seems to be the opposite ) and we did it at the crucial time, so now waiting and most definitely not symptom spotting!

 

[Bagpuss17]

Afternoon all,

ROM - Hope you have are having a good day with your son today.

Mildly - I'm sooooo excited about your chart, lets hope you get a BFP very soon.

Sookie lucky you still enjoying your holidays.

CB23 - Keep yourself busy during the 2WW, hope it goes quickly for you and brings you a BFP.

Well my temp shot up again this morning. I was really hot overnight, not sure why but I tend to feel the cold quite easily. Last night I had to keep throwing the covers off.

Have a bit of ECWM today and some cramps but no breast tenderness and negative on the opk again. My body is playing tricks with me again. Can't do anything other than to continue to BD though.

FF has said this:
Your chart data does not allow ovulation to be pinpointed to within a 24 hour timeframe.
Your temperature suggests, however, that ovulation may have occured between CD 10 and CD 17.

What do you think?

 

[CB23]

hmmmm why don't you ask someone at FF - they have people who can help don't they? It does seem very confusing, and a 7 day ov window is unusal surely?

 

[Bagpuss17]

Didn't know you could ask, how do you go about doing that?

I don't think I have ov'd. Will test on the opk again later. The 2 days earlier in my cycle when I had high temps was when I had a cold, it was really bad when I had the highest temp. Not sure about todays high temp though.

Got cramping now which I often get around the time I ov, perhaps it's approaching.

 

[Mildly]

Hey all

I have gone back to being a sultry brunette today (instead of a funfilled blonde) I'm really liking it at the moment, I was getting so tired of the roots maintenance all the time. I am Legend is a really good film. I found it quite sad for a zombie movie though - I'm just glad the lights are low in cinemas, no one could see the tears running down my face

CB, hope you managed to avoid the housework for a bit today and got in a good few hours of symptom spotting

Bagpuss, is it possible that you might have missed your surge? That coupled with preseed possibly reducing your CM might mean you've already Ov'd. You have BDed regularly so even if you have ovulated you are still definitely in the game

On a side note I read on the FF site that someone did an experiment with her OH's sperm and preseed. She had a control slide under a microscope with just sperm and noted how long it took for the sperm to die (within half an hour). Then mixed her OH's sperm with preseed and studied how long it took to die. It apparently lasted for 4 hours. I thought that was fascinating - makes me wish I had a microscope

 

[Loola]

Mildly, everyone knows Brunettes do it better! (Im actually a natural blonde but been brunette for 15 years). Your chart is looking fab!! I really hope this is what is looks like!

CB - I still have sore boobs, but the nipples arent sore really, its the underneath and sides. They just feel really heavy. My OH thinks they are mahoosive all of a sudden too, so he's a happy man, haha. Ive been having some cramps today too, like I usually would the day before AF, but its too early for that I think. I have at least 5 days til she should arrive, and I think I ovulated 2 days late, so It would be the 5th Jan if I have a 14 day Luteal Phase. That means I still have another 7 days til testing!! Meh! Ill have a nervous breakdown by then Im sure.

Oh and Ive been getting alot of creamy CM too, so much that I can feel it coming so to speak (sorry, lol) I dont think this is a sign of pregnancy really, but it keeps making me check If I have spotting!
I dont usually produce so much! and Im really not that horny!

 

[Mildly]

Thanks loola, my OH is pleased that I have gone back to brunette lol at your OH's appreciation of your larger assets I think I have heard some ladies say they have experienced lots of CM, hopefully it's a good sign for you

Kitty are you testing today? FF thinks you should (and so do I ) It's looking really good

 

[CB23]

Bagpuss I don't know how to ask - sorry, I have just seen that others have posted that they asked for advice. Someone will know I'm sure.

Mildly - 15 dpo have everything crossed for you - is FF making you wait to test as only 2nd cycle charting?

Any news Kitty?

 

[Mildly]

Hi CB

Yes, FF says I should wait until the 3rd January but providing AF stays away I am going to test at about 12.05am on the 1st OH wants us to wait because Cheri22 predicted January

Bagpuss, I think you ask your charting question here

 

[Kittykins]

morning everyone!

Yep, the VIP questions thread is where you ask... I seem to have had something to ask about every cycle! I asked a couple of days ago whether the guides agreed with the O date of CD12, to which the response was - it looks likely, but it's also possible that it was within the last couple of days if those temps stay at that level, so check back with us in a few days...

Well, the temps dropped since then... I put in today's temp and Advanced still thinks CD12, but Research now thinks CD21. For both dates, the OPKs were negative (stopped doing OPKs on CD19 because the 2nd line had disappeared entirely by then), the CBEFM was low, and the temps after each date are only just hovering above the coverline for that date (the coverline for CD21 is 36.06 - today's temp was 36.07). For the CD21 date, there are a few pre-O temps well above the coverline, and one post-O temp below. For the CD12 date, there are a couple just above pre-O and none below post-O. I had creamy CM before, during and after both dates...

So - neither date looks particularly conclusive! I'm going to ask the FF guides to take another look tomorrow, and depending on the answer, may test on New Year's Day. But to be honest, I don't have high hopes for this cycle at all, and I don't feel in the slightest bit different. I don't even feel like AF is coming. The only unusual thing was that I didn't get up till 10 yesterday morning, then fell asleep on the sofa at 12 but I put that down to post-Xmas exhaustion!

Mildly, yours is looking so good!

 

[CB23]

Very confusing Kitty

 

[Mildly]

Hmm.. kitty that chart does look different now that the Ov date has moved. I'll be interested to hear what the guides say about it.

This morning I have mostly been talking myself into feeling a bit sick... and then laughing at myself for it. I've been tasting that very slightly metallic taste you get when you feel a bit nauseous and trying not to gag whilst we walked around Tesco. It hasn't put me off eating though, OH is just making me tomato soup for lunch and I've just had a few sticks of apple flavoured liquorice

Please someone, tell me how stupid I'm being! Morning sickness cannot possibly start this early

 

[Loola]

I think you can have morning sickness this early!! When is AF due hun?

 

[Mildly]

Well going by the luteal phase on last months chart, 2 days ago I'm going to still hold off testing until the 1st - it just makes me laugh because I think I'm imagining it all and that AF will turn up tomorrow. I am in pregnancy denial

Haha! I know EXACTLY what you mean! Its sounding extremely good though hun. You are being very good not testing, but in some ways its easy not to as the fear of disappointment makes me ignore testing sometimes. I really hope you get your BFP hun
