TTC Cycle 21 BBT chart different. 10dpo. could it be?

PennyPencils · 03/04/2022 06:45

I'm 38, TTC for so long. Chemical last August, early miscarriage in Nov.
My chart has never looked like this. I started after the miscarriage. Usually more down spikes at this point.
I used opks, track CP, and obsessively test from 5 dpo every time. So weak!
I've run out of tests by 9dpo this time.
(I know, it's a problem but is ICs so, well, never mind) more tests arrive tomorrow.

Could it be? I've got back ache since last night and that's my main symptom from Nov I had noted on Flo.
Do have mild pre- AF cramps too though.
I'm hoping to add a line eyes pic to this tomorrow 😜

@Pheepa I had the prosecco ready to go in just in case. Got to find some positive in AF.

Indeed! Already put a bottle of wine in the fridge for later, probably not the most sensible response!

Think AF is here finally, obviously was waiting for me to POAS! 😓

Pheepa · 05/04/2022 14:04

I know and it wasn’t FMU either. Not even a squinter though, just bright white. Will just have to wait a bit longer I guess!

@Pheepa 20miu isn't too sensitive..my cheapies are 10 and the line isn't strong on those

Pheepa · 05/04/2022 13:47

Just did a cheapo one and it’s def BFN. Sensitive at 20 miU. Know I’m not completely out but looking more likely it is just AF spotting

@Pheepa true. But I've used every time of test going and all of them have been very negative until I was pregnant

OP posts:
Pheepa · 05/04/2022 09:49

That could be a plan! I get scared by the early ones as so many threads talk about evap lines!

@Pheepa
I'd get an early one if poss and a couple cheapos. Do a cheapo first and if there's a hint of a line, do the early.

OP posts:
Pheepa · 05/04/2022 09:07

I don’t know! Don’t know if just to get the cheap ones from B&M (2 for £1!) and just keep testing or to splurge on an early one. Though don’t think I’ll have much choice in the shops here actually

@Pheepa big difference from 10 to 12dpo. Mine was absolutely blank on 9dpo. That's when I started getting backache that late afternoon so I guess when implantation was happening. Then takes two days for HCG levels to be Hugh enough to show on a sensitive test. So you might have a good line tomorrow.

What test will you use?

OP posts:
Pheepa · 05/04/2022 08:28

Thanks, was negative on Sunday and that was my last test. Keep expecting AF to arrive so holding off on wasting a test! You can guarantee as soon as I cave it will then arrive!

@Pheepa oh no that's worrying. I work with the public and I'm nervous to catch it too.
Can't believe you've not tested already.
Cheapie line was stronger today.
Temp still high and have backache, mild cramps and am really bloated.
Can't wait to hear your news tomorrow

Pheepa · 05/04/2022 08:22

@PennyPencils 12DPO today I think, pretty sure I ovulated Thurs night as that’s when I got my pain so 11.5 really. Going to test tomo I think if nothing changes.
Youngest has just tested positive for Covid so will be stuck in today driving myself mad! And now googling what will happen if I get covid at 4 weeks pregnant!

@Pheepa I know the pain all too well. Being prepared for AF then something happens and it's torture because you can't allow yourself to get excited. How many dpo are you now?

OP posts:
Pheepa · 05/04/2022 07:13

And now this morning there’s clear CM! This is absolute torture! I wasn’t at all confident this month and was ready to just move on to next and now I’ve been given this glimmer of hope I can tell it’s going to hit me hard when (if?!) AF does arrive

Pheepa · 04/04/2022 21:58

@PennyPencils not patronising at all!
We fell quickly both times before and know I have no reason not to be positive this time, signs of ovulation are all there. I’m just absolutely rubbish at not overthinking things!

@Pheepa ah yes Ive been feeding OH with various vitamins for a few months now as well.
I think so.much is just timing. 1 in 4 chance of pregnancy every month but that's before age 35 then it's massively less so can just be unlucky Every time, until we aren't! You're doing more than most who fall quickly without trying for long. I'm sure it'll happen for you. Stay positive. Easier said than done, sorry if that sounds patronising X

@FlyOnTheWall89 ah thank you. After being a long time lurker, even joining in on the threads was is my plan for a bit of extra luck!
I think I've had a fair bit of stress and my job is very hard on-season so summer months is physically going against me I think. Who knows. No known issues though but we didnt have any tests apart from my gynea exam looking all good and my bloods a couple times, again all good

FlyOnTheWall89 · 04/04/2022 21:38

How cool @PennyPencils - I read from the beginning and thought that graph looked v convincingly positive. Congrats- you must have over the moon.

Do you have any issues on either side that has meant it's taken a few years ?

Pheepa · 04/04/2022 20:48

I’ve drastically cut alcohol, caffeine and takeaways and been taking folic acid, a multivitamin, vit D, omega 3 and ubiquinol. Hubby taking a man’s multi vitamin but nothing conception specific. I use OPKs and take note of CM. So definitely ‘trying’. Not found the willpower to change my diet completely yet though!
Still not sure whether this spotting will turn into AF. It’s only there when i wipe and hardly anything. Will be extra cruel if it stops for a few days and then AF still arrives!

@Pheepa 🤣 I'm determined to do whatever o can. Of course, it might be down to coincidence that we've got this far this time and could all end yet.
Fingers crossed
