I've just recently started using natural cycles as a form of TTC and tracking my BBT. Does anyone have a copy of their graph please? I'm interested to see what others look like as I haven't completed a full month with mine yet. Mine for reference 😊

@IGB3993 fingers crossed for you!

Waiting for O day on Saturday, DTD -5, -3 from O so far and going to try for -1 and day of O so that should hopefully have us covered. Going to try use preseed for one if not both of those days 🤞🏼

How’s everyone doing? I’m 12 dpo today and luckily have been away with work so unable to do any testing. Home late tonight but going to try and avoid testing tomorrow and just do it on Friday… yesterday had a drop in bbt but not below coverline so maybe an anomaly. Had severe cramps for a few hours in afternoon but no sign of AF so again.. fingers crossed!

@alexalexalex18 me too re supplements, I've been taking mine since the CP but I think the OH is going to give them a miss this month then get neck on them next month. Are you taking supplements?

OP posts:
alexalexalex18 · 16/06/2023 18:55

@Angelselevenx

Yes you’re right, I temp first thing in the morning, same time.
But I tried and checked throughout the day when I’m on my period and have low temp and it stays low all the time.
I’m just desperate at this moment 😂 might not be relevant at all.

I’ve read supplements take around 3 months to work.

@alexalexalex18 he is, although he wasn't when we had the chemical pregnancy and he's become more slack the past few weeks so I don't think he's taken them in a while 😂

I think Flo waits until AF is late annoyingly, yeah you could use it tomorrow.

Taking your temp whilst you're up and about doesn't count towards anything I don't think, has to be after so many hours sleep still led down before you get out of bed. Whilst you've been up and about etc going about your day will just be your normal temp whereas you want basal temp first thing in the morning x

@Angelselevenx

Is your partner taking supplements as well? Maybe it helps!

FertilityFriend and Flo pin my first day of AF tomorrow but Flo says to take a test in 5 days from now if AF doesn’t appear.
Wtf why 5 days?

I have one Clearablue 6 days early test left, would it be relevant if I use it tomorrow, first day of missed period?

Just took my temp now and it’s still
high, 36.77.

Sorry the above was for @elliesmummy19 - forgot the tag!

glasspaw · 16/06/2023 15:56

Thanks for sharing. So interesting comparing the two!

monica3287 · 16/06/2023 15:35

Thank you

About 13 days… my AF is due on the 19th.
I will try and remain positive and patient, until tomorrow to see if it goes up… I was doing some reading about erratic BBT’s and results, but still feeling concerned.

@monica3287 how long is your luteal phase normally? A drop around when AF is due does normally indicate she's on her way but it could be that your temp jumps back up tomorrow

Hi there guys, hope everyone well.
I wanted to get some feedback as I’m very new to this. My temperature has gone down today, again on yesterday too. Do you think this means I will be getting AF?

Thank you for input. I do have some other things going on, like sore breasts, cramps, sense of smell, etc but think this is likely not a good sign is it.

Thank you

@alexalexalex18 some people don't get their BFP until after AF is late, good that your temps are still high!

I hope so but I feel more and more defeated as the months go on, we had our chemical on month 2 which was March and nothing since, now on cycle 5 😔

Keep me updated, hopefully AF doesn't show and your temps stay high!!

This is really interesting. Do you also have a non pregnant month view to compare it to?

first month tracking and I’m finding it so interesting. Got my peak today so I think that means O tomorrow then into the dreaded TWW.

Sorry, only just saw this.

Here’s the month before I got pregnant

@Angelselevenx
Fingers toes everything crossed, it’s your month!!

I tested yesterday with ClearBlue 6 days early (diluted, noon pee) and it was negative.

AF. should arrive tomorrow or on Sunday, I’m on cycle day 30 and mine are usually between 30-33.

Good thing is I usually spot the week before my period and it hasn’t happened this month.

Bad thing is that my temps are still high but I feel like me period is coming 😂
I don’t think if I were preggo I’d feel like my period is near and ovary ache.

So basically just waiting for AF.
🥹

I’ll use Mucinex for helping with CM in the fertile window and take my Pregnacare Conception and COQ10.

How're you doing @alexalexalex18 ?

Fertile week starts Sunday for me, think I'm doing to use preseed -4, -2 and day of O and see how that goes

OP posts:
alexalexalex18 · 15/06/2023 10:17

My temp dropped a little today 😔

I don’t have any more period cramps though, just an ache on my right ovary area and fatigue.

I’m afraid I’m out 😞 And I’m so sad.

alexalexalex18 · 14/06/2023 16:48

Another thing that’s bothering me is that I have absolutely no discharge now.
Very dry.
I read many stories where women had lots of creamy discharge before getting their bfp.

Are there any success stories with dry undies?

alexalexalex18 · 14/06/2023 15:31

I’m sorry 😞
I heard about the LH strips getting dark when pregnant but tbh I despise them as I’be never got a positive one when I was using them 😅
I’ll just have to wait and see what’s next and try not to murder anyone who breathes or chews louder than my unstable nerves can take 😬

IGB3993 · 14/06/2023 15:07

@alexalexalex18 I had a mmc back in March, but my symptoms were so classic PMS that I was convinced I was out! I did an LH test and 2 days in a row the result was so strong that on day 3 I did a HCG and.. it was there!

@alexalexalex18 I had a chemical a few months ago and my cramps were like pulling sensations, I also didn't feel like my period was going to come (which it did, a few days later after I started mc)

OP posts:
alexalexalex18 · 14/06/2023 14:29

If anyone could explain how cramps before a BFP actually felt I’d really appreciate it 🧐

alexalexalex18 · 14/06/2023 14:28

I couldn’t find FRER anywhere :( I have 2 fresh Clearablue 6 days in advance waiting for me out of sight, or else I’d use then 😅

I want to keep positive and hopeful but all I feel is exhaustion and period cramps and ovary twinges, topped with a few pimples.
And all could be PMS unfortunately 🥹

Angelselevenx · 14/06/2023 13:55

@alexalexalex18 eek this is positive! Do you have any FRER? Or take a test when you wake up in the night if it's a long enough hold? X
