TTC'rs ,Charters and Chart Cheerleaders! 2010~

Awww you really shouldn't waste time thinking about the "what if's". It will just get you down and make you feel misreable, I should know, I used to do exactly the same. I had my moments of wondering if I was being punished for things I had done in the past, if it was because I would be a rubbish mother, did I not deserve a baby. Blah blah blah.... It's all just crap. I also really felt that I was less of a woman for not being able to get pregnant, I guess I still do deep deown to some extent because obviously it took some pretty strong meds, a whole bunch of doctors and bucket loads of luck to get me where I am! I felt so guilty too that it was my fault and if BF had just chosen a fertile woman he would have the child he had wanted for years before I even agreed to try! *sigh* is hard, long term is REALLY hard and it's something that unless you have been through it you will never understand.

Beth I see from your chart that you are *still* bleeding? This has got to be your longest ever surely? Hope it clears up for you soon, did you start the soy again or not bother?

Lindzee good luck with the house move. I don;t blame you for taking a break from temping for a while. October isnt that far away. Do you know what they will do at the clinic with regards to the next step with testing for you? I seem to remember you already had the HSG right?

might finally be stopping. I guess I'll know more later in the day. I started soy back when i though my cycle was a new one, and then started again with this one but ran out. Everything is so screwed up right now I don't really care anymore.

I think things are easing up finally. I'm now tampon-free! Just a pantyliner, at least for now. I wouldn't be surprised if the evil decided to give a little final show though, lol.

Mel,
You are so right about the What Ifs. It's a bad game to play and I am not usually sucked into it, but you know how it is... sometimes it is easy to go there. As for the Fertility Clinic I have no idea what they are doing to do to start things off? I have had all my blood work done, HSG, u/s, SA..... maybe think about IUI? We will have to see.

Beth, Glad is finally easing up for you, gee, that was a long one for you. I hear you with not really caring right now. I feel the same way. I am going with a whatever attitude until the appt at the FC. Time for a break.

Back to enjoying a break from packing. We worked all morning!

Yay! I finally stopped bleeding today! Geez, this was the never-ending period and it was *really* getting on my nerves. Think I still might have a bit of discharge though but maybe even that will be gone by tomorrow. Hoping anyway.

Hope the moving is going ok, Lindzee!

YAY glad you are done bleeding and that is over Beth! Moving went well, we are all moved out of our townhouse and are living with DH's parents until we get possession of our new house which i am really excited about. Hopefully Sept 18, fingers crossed.
Nothing new on the front for me. i think we are taking a break until the appt. We'll see...

So I have had EWCm yesterday and today?? Very early for me..... perhaps I will O sooner this cycle? Which would be weird since this cycle is au naturale.

How are things on your end Beth??

Nothing much here. My temps are fluctuating a bit more than I care to see. Can't say if I'm going to O this month or not right now although I am feeling a bit frisky.... But hubby has worked a few nights this week (something he's never done before).

Glad to hear the move went ok.......but I'm sure you'll be excited to move into your own house!

So one of my closest friends told me last night that she is 6 weeks pregnant. I am happy for them but so very so sad for us because they went off the pill mid July and got pregnant straight away without trying. It just doesn't seem fair and of course I came home and laid in the bed and cried. I am just so frustrated with all of this and feel like it isn't going to happen for us.

Blah.

Hope you get some fun time with Dh Beth!!!!!

I've been playing with my temps lately, discarding a high temp a week ago Sunday (22nd). Today I tried it again and finally got cross-hairs for CD14. I feel it might be right. I did record wet CM a day or two before because it was a stretch (HA!) to call it EWCM but it did have a bit of stretch to it. Also, I've noticed that after I ovulate, my skin seems to be softer. Ever notice that? Something to do with estrogen perhaps? Anyway, I noticed that yesterday so just maybe I ovulated this month.

Ooooh Beth, it definately looks like you could have O'd!!! By the looks of it your timing was abit crappy this month but ovulation after that long cycle would be exciting anyway!!!! Will be watching your temps over the next few days

Yeah, I'm just happy to see something this month too.

lindzee, I forgot to comment on your friend. That sucks (for you). It's hard to put on a happy face sometimes. ((HUGS))

Beth, hmmm interesting chart! I will be interested to see what your temp is tomorrow. I have a feeling that FF might move your O date to a couple days later.... but we'll see! It sounds like you did O at some point for sure and a later O would be good timing wise for you. Let's see how it all plays out!

Pretty sure I O'ed but I am not temping this cycle and got a pos OPK on CD 13 which is early for me - and with NO meds this cycle. I am happy about that! so we'll see what happens.

It does hurt about my friend, but that is the way life is.....

Oh, it'd be cool if I O'd on CD17 instead....there's a remote chance then!

Hmmm, I thought your temp was going to go up today Beth. Maybe CD 14 is correct? I am still hoping for 16 or 17 so that there is a chance! Let's see....

I had definite O pains last night and after getting a pos OPK the other day I am pretty confident I Oed. I might take my temp tomorrow just to see if it has gone up, which I am sure it will have. I have all the symptoms, sore nipples, sore lower back, ewcm....and I think our timing is good, so anyways, there it is. Not going to hold my breath at this point.

Good news for you Lindzee!

I often have a dip on 2DPO (like today's!) so we'll have to see what happens tomorrow......

Hmmm, maybe CD is right for O Beth? I guess we will see how long your LP is and we will determine from there? Wish it was later so you had a chance this month. What can you do?

I took my temp this morning and it was 97.6 - which is a luteal phase temp for me, so I know I oed which is good news. My DH joked yesterday that he hoped his swimmers found the egg this time, but that he will not his breath because it hasn't happened for the last however many months. How true!

Lindzee, I keep taking my temp and then adding the 8/22 temp back in ...... and FF keeps taking away the crosshairs everythime. So yeah, like you said, we may just have to wait to see how long the LP was. I think a different pattern *might* be starting to show itself though. I'll be gone for a few days but will continue to temp.

Good news that you O'd, but geez, it's kinda sad when our men get jaded too. I know mine really doesn't hold out any hope either. Ohhhh, your appt. is next month! What day?

Beth if I had to guess I would say I think FF have your O day right. Hopefully it was a couple of days later though so you could be in with a chance. Have you tried changing the settings, see if it makes a difference to the interpretation?

I found it more upsetting that I don't think BF ever really gave up when we were trying. Every month when arrived it just about broke my heart having to tell him when he had his hopes up.

Mel, I hadn't tried that so I just did. I was on "Advanced" and moved it to FAM. FAM likes CD15 instead of CD14. Neither one of them will give me crosshairs with that 8/22 temp. I just left it on Advanced. CD14, CD15, doesn't really matter in the long run.

Hey ladies,

I use to post on the site a lot when my daughter was little. But I have been out of touch for awhile. We are #2. Thought I would post my chart for all to see. On day 101 of the longest cycle in history.

Brie,
Looks like you ovulated from your chart! Here's to hoping this LONG cycle will have a nice surprise at the end of it.

Beth,

How was your long weekend?? Did you have a good time? How were your temps? Hope you are well! Talk to you soon!

Brie, like Lindzee said, it does look like O could have happened now. And like I said in your other thread, consider vaginal temping. For me, it give me much more reliable temperatures (I'm a mouth breather at night so oral temps are waaaaay off). Also, I find the waking times don't affect things. I get up, go to the other room and take my temp, then use the bathroom. But you have nice timing so let's hope you don't even need a next cyle!

Lindzee, how's things with you? I'll get your chart later.....

I input my missing temps last night and initially my O-day was moved from CD14 to CD19 (Advanced setting, FAM still had it at CD15). Now it's back to CD14. We'll see in a few days I guess, huh?

Well it looks like I may have ovulated. Temps have been pretty good. If they stay up a couple more days I might actually believe that I ovulated.

Beth & Lindzee-thanks for the feedback. I just checked out both of your charts too.
