TTC'rs ,Charters and Chart Cheerleaders! 2010~

Yay for CH and a great looking temp rise today, Beth!

It's looking great Bethy! Good BD-ing too!!!

Beth, Just wanted to tell you I think that your chart is looking great. I am optimistic and hopeful for you! Also, I was thinking about you because of this book I am reading. It is called "Fertility Foods" by Dr. Groll and it is about eating and exercise to lower your insulin levels and result in a better egg, ovulation and then staying pregnant and not miscarrying. I think it all makes sense and has worked for many women.
The basic idea [in my simple words!] is to eat each meal with as close to equal carbs and protein as you can. The book even has recipes! Also, to exercise 5-6 times a week doing 30 mins of cardio and 2-3 times a week of strength training. So I am doing it! I am going to be on week three of exercise this week and week 2 of eating. I am finding it is giving me something else to focus on, which is good. I'll keep you posted!

Well my chart went to hell today. I had a nice high temp today and evidently FF thought so too......and moved my O-day to CD17 from CD13. If it's true, we have no chance now.

I REALLY don't think it was CD 17...I think that one dip just kind of confused FF. They are not always right you know. What if you pretend to put in a positive OPK on CD 12, what happens then? FF can drive me nuts!! Just hang in there and be positive. I am rooting for you!

AFM, I am starting to worry that this cycle is going to be anovulatory?! Maybe it will still be a late O, who knows, but it is very discouraging.

Chin up Beth! Don't listen to FF!

Well, if I do put in a +OPK on CD12, it moves it back to CD13. The coverline is higher at CD17 than any other I've ever had which makes me suspicious. But I guess I can't do anything but wait.

Yeah, there is nothing to do but wait I suppose. I bet FF will change your CH in a couple days anyways. Any signs or symptoms to go along with CD 13? I still think it was CD 13 or 14. Stay positive! Your chart looks good!

Especially compared to my wacky chart!! LOL! :S Starting to wonder if I will ever O. Sheesh.

Happy Sunday!

Hmmmmm, might a pre-O dip for you today, Lindzee? I hope so! Yeah, I bet you're getting antsy by now.

I didn't have any clear-cut signs this time. I saw some CM that was almost EWCM somewhere between CD10 and 13. Can't remember exactly when. It wasn't very much and only once did it have a tiny bit of stretch. Haven't seen anything since CD13. Didn't really feel any pains but generally I do not pay much attention to a twinge or tweak. It's gotta be major for me to notice.

How are things BEth? I see your temp dipped a bit today. No changing it from FF friend yet huh? Sheesh. I wouldn't worry about it - just wait and see what will happen. You know how this whole damn thing is - just a waiting game. And esp. if you saw a bit of ewcm before cd 13, I would still say you are good!

AFM, I have no idea what is going on.... it looks like my chart COULD be promising, but then again it could be anovulatory as well. Who knows?! Back to the game.....

Hmm, so apparently I did O. No usual O symptoms though. Guess you spotted the temp dip first Beth! You win a prize! LOL.

How are things with you?

I'm not used to you posting during the day, Lindzee, lol.

Yes, you did O! Yay! And you had very nice timing too. Here's to Hoping!

I saw some bright red spotting, a significant amount on the TP late this morning. Shocked me actually. I'm thinking I really am 10DPO, not 6DPO, and is on her way. We shall see.....
It would be very nice for once to go on vacation and not worry about at all.

Hey Beth!

What's new? So FF moved my crosshairs to CD 29, so I am still 3 DPO today. Hmph. Whatever, it is what it is. What is with FF moving our charts lately??? Drive us nuts. Hmm, wonder what was with that bright red spotting yesterday? Have you had nothing since then? Thing just can't be regular and the same every month for us, can they?
Perhaps different is good?? Let me know how it's going!

Lindzee, I think the move has got to be a good thing. The day before ovulation is perfect for conception as the sperm has it's time to make it's way to eggy before it's no longer fertilisable, ? hope that makes sense. Both times I have got pregnant we have bd'd the day before ovulation. It is a bit annoying for you though when ff does that, but I'm hoping it's a positive thing x

Yeah, what is it with FF these days??? But you're still looking good Lindzee! THIS will be your month!

Not my month though, unfortunately. My temp took a huge drop at 8DPO. Yeah right. So I went in the FF and changed the detection method to FAM and it moved o-day back to CD13. So I'm now 12DPO and is coming.

crud Beth!

I'm really sorry.

Bethy so sorry honey Hugs to you.

Lindzee, how's it going hun?

Beth, I am sorry to see that came. That is never fun. But I am pleased with your chart this month and your good ovulation day. Keep doing the same thing for this month because I have a good feeling!!

Emma and Lily, thanks for popping by. I am hoping the day getting switched is a positive thing too, but who knows? I am doing okay!

My temps are SO weird and it is not my thermometer, I checked it! I can't believe they have been the same. I have never had that happen before. This whole cycle and temps have been weird. I still feel really nothing. Usually I have O symptoms and I had none this cycle. And then I get sore nipples or BBS during my LP, but I haven't had any of that. This is very strange indeed. I am pretty sure that I have decided to take the clomid for next cycle. DH says that we said wait another cycle, but I think why wait?! I have already been waiting a long time as it is. I guess we'll wait and see.

See? Further proof my temps are crazy this cycle!!

Wooaaaaah! That's one heck of a temp rise today, Lindzee! Hmmmmm, wonder if you're looking at a triphasic chart there???

I know - that temp is high hey? I took my temp at the same time today too? I am sure it will go back to normal tomorrow, probably some weird, freak thing. But I can hope for a triphasic chart!

How is this new cycle treating you thus far? Are you doing the same things again? DHEA and that? Hope you're well. Looking forward to your trip? When do you leave again?

Lindzee, we're leaving Thursday morning, but since I just bought a laptop last week, there's a chance I'll be logging on every now and then. only lasted 2 days. Only had a bit of spotting today. I'll be doing soy CD5-9 and continuing daily DHEA, but upping it to 75mg a day (50 in the AM, 25 in the PM) because I read about how some doctors suggest multiple doses a day. I had decided I didn't want to temp while on this trip and since I only have 2 days before we leave, I've decided to ditch it altogether this cycle. Hey, maybe doing "nothing" will make it happen? Not going to try too hard for timed sex either, but at least since it's vacation, I'll have an easier time of convincing hubby!

Rather nice looking rise Lindzee!

Here's to a new cycle Beth, hope you can convince hubby to bd as much as possible

Hey Beth, hope you have a great trip!! Sounds like you have a very good plan for this month and I think good for you for not temping! You will feel so free every morning! LOL! Doing nothing just might do the trick - that is kind of what I did this cycle, well minus temping! Fingers crossed. Update me if you get the chance, but if not, have a great time!

Emma, thanks for taking a peek at my chart...temps stayed up again today, so perhaps my chart will be triphasic? Not that that necessarily means anything! Hope you are doing well - not too much longer til bubs now!!!

Beth I think a vacation and a relaxing cycle may be just what you guys need. is so stressful and in the beginning it seems fun to do it all the time but it does take a toll on you after a while.

I hope you have a fantastic time on your trip!!!

Have a relaxing trip Beth. Hope you can relax and just bd for pleasure without the pressure! Suppose it's easier said than done but just try and take it easy and enjoy the time with dh x
