Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 4

@Juno231 thanks so much. I was having a wobble and panicking! Oh wowsers 😱 go OH!!! Long May it continue haha, hopefully he’s got it in him to last til OV 🤞🤞

@ambs1994 can you get hold of a FRER? They’re the best! If not definitely wait a couple of days 🤞

@mumof23188 yep first morning. Might just wait a couple more days now

Here’s my chart! I’m a bit concerned about my temps! @Juno231 do they look high enough or do you think there could be an issue?

@Juno231 glad the spotting has stopped! Yay to FW 😁. Hope you got started with a bang yesterday and your OH stopped being in a funk 😆.

@LarasMama how’s your HR today? Yes I’ve also read that days 8-9 are most common for implantation 🤞. My HR went up by one so I’m 64 now. Totally agree about breastfeeding, initially it was the hardest thing ever but so worth it. I was determined as with my first DC I had to stop due to severe mastitis. Oh wow! Mine completely stopped! Yes seems it’s different for everyone.

@ambs1994 ahh I’m sorry, I can’t see anything. Was it first morning wee?

Pretty sure this is negative

@Juno231 Oh dear, that is so frustrating!
You can improve your thyroid function naturally too. Selenium is great for your thyroid. 1 brazil nut a day can deliver enough Selenium. Go for the organic kind. Maybe it's worth a shot?

@ambs1994 I guess I'd wait another couple of days then. :) I hate wasting tests. Haha...

@Juno231 So many things can affect our fertility. I would maybe ask to have them checked and supplement. As for your TSH levels, I do believe they are too high especially if you have symptoms of hypothyroidism and haven't been able to conceive for a year. I need to be on l-thyroxine and my doctor has always told me I should be around 1. The NHS guidelines go by old lab ranges that have been deemed outdated by most endocrinologists.
I would ask to have them rechecked and explain that you would like to try taking a small dose of l-thyroxine (25). It may take some convincing, but honestly there is no harm in being on a small dose. For you to become hyperthyroid on such a small dose is quite unlikely.

@LarasMama been very light, nothing painful, i just know they're there if that makes sense. I have no idea what dpo i am, I didnt track. Average LP I think is 13 days

Found this today! I found it so helpful.

@ambs1994 Your RHR sounds so promising! What type of cramps are you having? What DPO are you and how long is your LP usually? You could test in the morning if AF is already late.

@mumof23188 Hey dear, oh, your RHR has gone up by one for you! That's at least something. My RHR has been stuck at 60 for a few days now. It's so frustrating. I'm 6 DPO today and I honestly have nothing else to report. I googled what the most common day for implantation is and found some sources that suggest it's 9 DPO. So we're not completely out yet!
I also love breastfeeding, it's challenging and hard work, but once you get the hang of it it's lovely. My period returned after 6 weeks and I had irregular cycles until my DD was 5 months old. After that my cycles returned fully even though I wasn't supplementing. It's so different for everyone it seems.
I really hope our RHR go up soon.

@MissBPotter That sounds promising! :) I don't think I could handle breastfeeding while pregnant if my next pregnancy is anything like my first. My nipples were so sore.

@Juno231 Some couples take longer to conceive, even when everything is fine. You probably also had your thyroid, vitamin d and iron (ferritin) levels checked, right? I hope this cycle will be your cycle! Fingers crossed for you!

Im up to 74 now! Af didnt arrive today but I'm fully expecting it to come at any point. Know when you just feel really bloated and I've had some cramps throughout the day. I'm not sure if I should wait til I'm really late to test? I've done early testing before and it does no good to anyone I think.

Thanks i will check that out :)

@lucyrp that’s so much better for you! 20 days shorter 😱🎉. I paid ten pounds for a month but it’s cheaper if you buy a few months at a time but I just wanted to test it out. It’s quite good, it gives you more info. I took a screenshot for you. Then you get access to the forums. I think if you like the one you’ve got them stick with it.

@MissBPotter yay for ov 🎉 what CD did you manage to dtd? I conceived my last baby on CD10 so it can happen ☺️. My dates were bang on all the way through aswell so I know exactly when he was conceived. Crazy when you think about it isn’t it!

Thank you! I’m praying for a rise 🤞🤞🤞

I think today might be ov day! Only cd11 so probably not ideal but rhr up again after a dip and thought I could feel it this morning. Have only dtd once again which is annoying, I don’t want to pressure DH but need to get on with it!

@mumof23188 Your chart looks good, hopefully more of a rise in the next few days.

@LarasMama I conceived dd2 while breastfeeding, on the first try actually! Was quite a shock. Dd1 was about 16 months so not feeding that much by then, but I carried on for about a month after my bfp, but then the milk seemed to stop.

@lucyrp yay for shorter cycles! We have the opposite problem

@mumof23188 i know! I ovulated on CD45 last cycle and it was 59 days long and this one is only predicted to be 39😱 noo I don't I pay for Femometer but not ff! How much is it ? Is it worth it ? I've looked so many times to no avail 🤣

@lucyrp that’s amazing. 20 days earlier 😱. Let’s hope it’s a definite 🤞. Thanks 🙏🏼. Do you pay for the ff app? I paid for a month and I was fiddling about with the app and somehow managed to do it! It wasn’t easy to find tho!
