chart stalkers

[Chrissy1]

I've had the same confusing problem ROM. I've tended to wait until after lunch to check my CM then I know that most of BD remnants should have gone by then. I think you should go off the stretchness of it because if it's not proper EWCM then it won't be too stretchy

Grrrr just poas opk and there is hardly a line on it! God I hope that my temps go back up tomorrow otherwise it looks as if my body was gearing up to ov again and didnt!! Goodness only knows what is going on with my body at the moment - just wish I could get this horrid cycle out of the way and start afresh!! Its really getting me down..... If I had Ov'd when I thought I was going to on CD11 then I would be 9 dpo today I think but with all that bleeding and the fact I hardly slept with worrying so very funny temps it doesnt look like I did - now I was sure it was about to happen and bang the line has all but gone!!

Sorry just ranting ......and feeling sorry for myself

hi how you all doing any bfp yet?
i just cant keep away i have really tried the last few days but missed it so much

we are still not ttc just now but i did an opk yesterday and today just so i have a better understanding of my cycle and the line was darker than the control line the last 2 days its so annoying as we arnt bd'ing at the monent until dh get sorted out, he has the dr's tonight its nothing bad, i had to make the appointment for him and force him to go, last night he said he would rather not go he just wants to carry on as if everything is fine bloody men
i will let you know how he gets on

Evening all,

I hope everything goes OK tonight at the Docs Babydust. Thinking of you.

ROM - Your cycle sounds so frustrating for you. All you can do is keep BD'ing to make sure you're covered for when you do BD.

I've been feeling sorry for myself today, spotting is still there and my temp has dropped today. Also had AF type cramps. Wish she would just get on with it properly.

Worried sick I might have a short luteal phase, I started spotting at 10DPO last month and now 9DPO this month. Although I have to take into account the cystitis this month and I had severe IBS cramps at the end of my cycle last month.

I just want a healthy month!

 

[Bagpuss17]

Where are you all tonight?

 

[Lindsay]

Baby Dancing I bet wish I was, my Dh is on nights tho. Will be making up for it tomorrow

Xxx

 

[Bagpuss17]

LOL - I should have thought of that

Good luck BD'ing tomorrow, we need to get some December BFPs. They're a bit thin on the ground at the moment.

 

[Lindsay]

Not convinced it will be my month hun. I feel exactly like I have done for previous months before af - bloated and fed up.

Xxx

 

[Bagpuss17]

Ditto!

At least I can have a glass of wine this weekend, hic. hic.

 

[scones]

Yes girls we need some bfps for xmas, or new year ones, that would be great. x

 

[babydust]

dh got the all clear from the dr's the dr said he was as fit as a fiddle the lumps under his arms were probabally due to fighting a viral infection, so he is a happy bunny but i have decided that we are still going to take time out of ttc for now, we are not preventing but not trying.

 

[reallyoldmum]

Great news Claire - thats fantastic - now you can look forward to christmas and relaxing...

OK ladies take a look at this

Been feeling odd for the past couple of days - really sick, awful heartburn and headache - that with the almost + OPK made me think tonight I needed to poas - last month on the day AF started I had a funny test from sainsburys - peed a sainsburys cheapie tonight and got the above!!

EDIT Just been to the loo before getting into bed and I am bleeding again!!! What the f*** is going on with my body!!!!

 

[CB23]

oh ROM I hope it isn't too much bleeding as I can see a faint line there everything crossed for you

Claire great news about DH

My temp has dropped almost back down to coverline this morning but no spotting. However last month AF turned up 11dpo and today is 10dpo so I'm thinking that is me out for another month I'd rather she came Monday or Tuesday though to lengthen my LP a bit

 

[Chill]

Hey all

Gah, temp drop today, everything suggesting AF for next coupla days.
Prob Sunday just so I can't drink over the weekend!

Still I suppose cycle seems to be regularising, has taken since Oct 2006 after depo, so I suppose that's something.

Is 10/11 days a really short LP though?

 

[Chrissy1]

ROM - what on earth is going on with you. You must be so confused by it all. I hope it's nothing too serious for you

Chill - sorry to hear about your temp drop but it's not over til AF turns up so keep 10/11 days is a short LP but not a problem. I think I saw someone say that anything less than 9 days was a worry.

Claire - Such good news about you DH. glad to hear it's nothing serious. And you never know, the whole not trying but not preventing has worked for loads of ladies in the past so it might work for you too

CB23 - sorry about your temp drop too. I'll keep my FX for you that if the evil witch does turn up that she at least waits until next week for you


I've had a massive temp rise today!! only 6 DPO though so not getting excited yet. I'm still symptom spotting though I am still getting the wierd tummy pains that are nothing like anything I've had before and now I've got back ache too! Although that could be be something to do with the fact I'm decorating the front room at the minute and I've been painting. Tomorrow is 7DPO so I'm keeping everything crossed that I have a implantation dip tomorrow Don't know why though... I had a dip at 7dpo last month and that meant nothing!!

Hope everyone is well and getting plenty of BDing in

 

[babydust]

rom i can see a line there, how are you today? how is the bleeding, i think you should see if the dr can do a blood test for detecting hcg, good luck, your mind must be all over the place just now not knowing what is going on

 

[reallyoldmum]

Well I went to my doctors for all the good it did me!! Had to go to the walk in surgery so and saw a locom doctor who kept on having to go and find another doctor and ask them questions!!! Apparently when they took my swabs they only tested for infection and they were clear - that doesnt mean that I am not retaining some of the by-products of my miscarriage.... He did a dip pregnancy test which was negative - I thought it would be - and then said they couldnt send me for a scan as I wasnt pregnant!!!! or in severe pain!. Apparently in Shropshire they will only scan you if you are still showing a positive pregnancy test!! The only other way to get a scan other than paying privately is to be admitted to the gyni ward........ He could offer no explanation other than either I am slowly loosing anything that was left behind after my miscarriage or it was just one of those things!!! I have now been bleeding for 11 of the 22 days of this cycle with days in between that are normal.

I have done an OPK since I got back and it is again near +!!!

Well when I left the doctors I was in a right state and rang my friend so we are off out tonight - I am going to hit the bottle big time!! If nothing else at least I will forget about it for a few hours!!

 

[CB23]

ROM? How is it going today?

Well I seem to be an emotional drama queen at the moment. Everything makes me cry. I think it is the mc catching up on me after two months of trying again and nothing, its making the loss more real even though it wasn't unreal before if that makes sense. I'm dreading New Year - it should have been such an exciting 2008 but now nothing and I'm not really looking forward to Christmas as I've got a 'can't be bothered' mindset and feel like I'm only going through the motions not enjoying the build up.

Anyway that is my wallowing in self pity bit over!

 

[Chrissy1]

ROM and CB23 - a million for you both. It's so horrible all this TTC larky.


I know I've promised myself that I'm going to enjoy christmas but when we started to conceive I sort of put Christmas down as a milestone that we would definately be pregnant by then and I really don't know if it's going to happen this month........even with my desparate attempts at symptom spotting I'm still having strange cramps and lower back ache and mood swings galore and now I've turned into an emotional wreck too!! Last night I burst out crying when I was watching Friends and then later again when I was watching My Name is Earl!!!

I'm kinda looking forward to having a month off next month but I feel the same that I just assumed that I would be pregnant by now so it's going to be so hard.....

 

[CB23]

Chrissy your Christmas BFP milestone could still be true, I certainly hope so. It's just crap isn't it.

I'm really looking forward to next month off too as I just want to able to relax. I want to eat yummy smoked salmon and pate and not have to think about raw egg white in the royal icing and I will drink lots of champers and wine and have fun. I actually think with AF this month I will crumple in a heap with a big sigh of relief.

Not entirely sure I will go back to charting after either as I have always had regular cycles pre-mc and in two months of charting have ov'd on day 15 each cycle so I know when my fertile time is.
