Tracking BBT - TTC

611 replies

Angelselevenx · 26/03/2023 13:25

Hi everyone! It's our second cycle TTC and first cycle tracking my BBT and I find it all so interesting, I'm learning so much about my body that I didn't even think of before. I'd like to see others graphs that are TTC and how their graph reflected a BFN or BFP. I'm 5DPO and temperature dipped yesterday but back up again today.

Feel free to share your graph so we can discuss all things TTC and BBT 😊

@Ttcsecond did you, I'm 12dpo though. I had a vvvvfl evening of 10dpo, darker yesterday morning and then lighter this morning so I don't think it's good news. AF was due yesterday but not here yet but no doubt it'll be here soon. It was the first cycle after my Hycosy as well.

Wow 5 months, that's crazy! Xx

Thank you @Angelselevenx

I pray that it’s not another chemical for you. My tests got lighter with my current little one and it worked out, hope that’s the case for you too. How many Dpo are you?

She’s nearly 5 months now. Time has gone so quickly. Xx

Hey @Ttcsecond oh I'm so sorry you're going through a tough time. It sounds like you're absolutely smashing mum life of two though. How old is little one now? Glad the smiles are helping.

I've actually just had a positive test yesterday (cycle 17 cycle 4 of letrozole) but unfortunately they're lighter today so I think I'm having my second chemical. Just got to wait for AF now. I have a review with my fertility clinic this month though so I'll see what next steps are xx

Hi @Angelselevenx

So nice to hear from you. Sorry it took me a while to reply, I’ve been struggling a bit with anxiety and PTSD so my brain is all over the place.

she is wonderful but not the best sleeper so very tired and my first seems to have forgotten how to sleep too. Such fun. The smiles and giggles really help with the sleep deprivation though.

How are you doing. Is the medication helping? Xx

@Ttcsecond oh bless you, that sounds quite the experience! Did the birth go to plan apart from the few hiccups? How has your first reacted to their little sister? So lovely.

I hope so, no I haven't I was 2 days before ovulation at my appointment so I have to wait until cycle day 2 of next cycle 🤞🏼🌈 xx

@Angelselevenx
erm the birth was an experience 🤣. Went into labour about 1am. Got to the hospital at 3.30am and was 4cm. Managed on gas and air til 8cm and then had the morphine. Baby was then born quickly at 1.30pm. I was in a lovely midwife led room with an inviting birthing pool. But then my blood pressure crept up so had to go to consultant led ward which wasn’t as nice and had to be on a monitor so couldn’t move about. And had to have surgery after for retained placenta.

Really hoping the medication is the answer for you. Have you been able to take it this cycle? Xx

@Ttcsecond congratulations, how lovely for you all. Sorry you had pre eclampsia, glad you're home and hopefully resting up. How was your birth? Aww I'm so made up for you, what a lovely name 🥺

I'm okay thank you, on cycle 13 now which just seems crazy. Had my referral appointment and been prescribed letrozole. Dr believes I've got low progesterone and not ovulating as effectively as what I should be (with the spotting and short LP as well), thinks this will give it a good boost 🤞🏼 xx

Hi @Angelselevenx

Yes she arrived Sunday 5 days overdue but only just made it out of hospital today due to pre eclampsia. Elise was 7lb 8oz and we’re so in love.

how are you doing? Xx

@Angelselevenx thank you. I’ll go with the flow but want to avoid being induced but will see what little girl has in store for me!

Sorry to hear that it’s come to having a fertility referral but I hope it enables you get some answers soon. Xx

@Ttcsecond aww wow, that feels like it's come round super quick (maybe not for you!) how exciting, wishing you the best of luck for labour. Are you hoping for anything in particular or just going with the flow?

Same old here, we hit a year TTC next month ☹️, got my fertility referral at the end of feb though so will see what they say or suggest.

That's great, yeah Christmas and new year was lovely thank you xx

@Ttcsecond aww thank you, I know. I was so naive thinking it would happen quickly after our chemical but it just hasn't been meant to be yet 😔. My OH has a sperm test this week just to rule anything like that out, hoping it's all okay.

😆 Woopsie! You have time though but it'll come around quickly!

Yeah I know, oh don't be intimidated! No one would even look twice, or just start by going to classes til your find your bearings. Especially in this weather, I just want to sit in front of the tv so I get exactly what you mean 😂 xx

@Angelselevenx
I’m so sorry, I know how much you want to start a family. Praying the next few months it happens for you.

Not really ready at all. After Christmas I’m sure I will start to panic 🤣.

weightlifting is so good for you. I wish I could do it but find the gym so intimidating and I don’t have the motivation at home when the sofa is staring at me! Couch to 5k is a good programme to start but be careful in the colder weather. Xx

@Ttcsecond I'm good thanks! Nope, another month down ☹️ 6dpo on cycle 10 now, completely given up all bloody hope which is annoying.

Wow 29 weeks, that's crazy, how exciting for you all! Are you ready for her arrival or do you have bits to still buy? Glad it wasn't anything to worry about and well done you for still running! I'm more of a weightlifting gal but I've started the couch 2 5k to try and keep active as I fell out of love with the gym for a few weeks but I'm back now xx

Ttcsecond · 28/11/2023 13:56

@Angelselevenx
Hello! How are you? I’m guessing last month wasn’t your month? I hope you’re being kind to yourself.
I’m ok thanks. 29 weeks today 😀. Had my 28 week appointment last week and all good. Only slight issue was higher than normal white blood cells but that can be normal in pregnancy and I did have a coldsore so think it’s nothing to worry about. Trying to stay active still, went for 6km run last week which was slow but still hard work.

@Angelselevenx shes growing lots. Started doing somersaults too 🤣.

I did a bit of seed cycling the last few months of trying too. And pomegranate juice. That’s positive about no dip. Must be doing something!! Xx

@Ttcsecond the worst when you can't breathe properly. How's baby girl coming along?

🤣🤣 4DPO yeah, I started seed cycling this month (cant remember if I told you) and also wild supplements and for the first month (even on my CP month) I've not had the typical 3-4DPO dip! Xx

Ttcsecond · 27/10/2023 16:34

Hi @Angelselevenx

I’m good thank you. Just had a 3 week cold but now feeling so much better as can breather normally again! How are you doing?

wow you’ve been busy this month. Got everything crossed for you. Are you 4dpo now? Xx
