The Charting Girls

Soda how are you? I have been watching your latest cycle. I hope you get that bfp!!

Kaz your chart is being annoying!! Got your awesome +OPK and now it's flat lining like my chart did after OV last cycle, soooo weird!

I can't wait to be actively TTC again either!
8 sleeps until my appointment!! I think I'll be hyperventilating by this time next week It's actually been more of an inconvenience trying to prevent, as we hate using condoms and for the last 10+ years we have just always had sex when we felt like it. We tend to be once a week type people and usually on the weekend. Pretty hard to get pregnant when your body likes to kill foreign entities and you aren't at it like bunnies all the time! Despite that, me not being pregnant right now is really important so we have mostly been avoiding sex all together

I might be able to try this cycle, all depends on when OV falls in relation to my Dr appointment and tests But DH is also going away next week for 4 days, so not counting on it.

Thanks for the luck KP! x

Will you be testing soon 2furkids?

How are you doing Hanger?

Good luck for this cycle Kristy!

Sorry AF came Kumeroa, I've never tried a digital OPK, are they fun to use?! They look it!

Sorry you're not feeling well Oxy, sore throats are horrible.

Your long cycles must be so frustrating Bre, I can't only relate from one experience after a D&C, was 76 days and it was horrendous. Really hoping you get your specialist appointment soon. I get faint lines on OPK's the whole way through my cycle, and they can go up and down - but when I get the surge it is unmistakably dark.

I concur, Soda's chart looks great

Nell I know I was so disappointed in my chart.  I started to doubt my bd timing, but I know I ov'd the pains during the positive subsided yesterday morning so I am fairly certain I did.  Perhaps just slow rise temps, then I thought if I was still using my old thermometer the temp shift would look more dramatic lol and I even faked entry for tomorrow and next day with temps like today and it gives me lines so here is hoping they continue to rise.

Kristy see what ff would do if you disregard the fall back rise temp or if you enter a few more higher temps over the next couple of days.  My chart looks crap to, but when I faked two more temps the same as today's I get lines and its an obvious rise, it just doesn't look it now.

I discarded the dip temp and it's put O in cd17 which I think is right.
Hope you get your rise soon kazper

Hello,
So im CD45 and no ovulation, and Im bleeding very lightly, so this must be breakthrough bleeding. My question is should i enter into FF that it is a period or keep going and enter spotting.

2furkids Congrats on your bfp

YAY finally a steady rise showing on your chart Kaz I must say, I am extremely chuffed at what the massage has done for you. And so wish I went when I had a booking in April! I cancelled because I was feeling way too emo after the D&C. So understandable but still wish I went. She doesn't come to Wellington very often!

Looks like discarding that temp did the trick Kristy

Tricky isn't it Bre I would keep entering spotting until you get full on need to wear a pad or whatever bleeding. Is this your longest cycle yet? Or have you had one longer?

Congratulations 2FurKids!! May the 5th, that's a nice sounding EDD

Thanks ladies and sorry I haven't been on sooner, been too busy to sit down! I decided to test on the second to last morning so that if it was negative I could enjoy a cocktail, what a strange feeling seeing that second line pop up, I wasn't too sure how to feel and I don't know if I really believe it or not, bit nervous that it wont last and keep taking temp to check it is still high... will test again at some stage to check line has gotten darker, it was not as dark as the control line when I tested.

Couple of questions - get two or three bouts of decent cramps during the day - is this normal? Like AF cramps but nothing to accompany them? Also, I know I need to find a midwife, but do I need to see my doctor too? If I go, does she do anything apart from tell me I am indeed pregnant and send me on my way?    

Thanks Kaz, have messaged a midwife I am interested in meeting, will wait to hear back from her
