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 😊

@Angelselevenx
you didn’t but glad you’ve stopped if was causing headaches. Have they gone now? I think it’s the b12 that helps absorb the b6 and can buy that separately but don’t know if that would cause headaches too.

I’m not a fan of having to keep pee in the fridge 🤣🤣. But £50 is alright! Plus the free kit which I reckon will be a digital one.

@emmatcc1 keep testing if you think ovulation is near. Sometimes the surge can be really quick and in the afternoon/evening.

Just did an ovulation test and it’s lighter than yesterday.

@Ttcsecond yay! i received mine yesterday and sent it back via email, just waiting for a phone call next week now. I didn't actually read it properly but we have to send our pee over and each cycle we do we get £50 and another £10 if we fall pregnant. At least we're getting something if we're trying anyway!

Eek have you started DTD yet? I'm going to try get one in today as OH is on nights tonight. Good idea ordering the progesterone test, unless you leave it until next month and see how you get on this month with the vitamin b tabs? Don't know if I said but I stopped my b complex and just kept my b6 as the complex was giving me awful headaches xx

@Angelselevenx Might mean an earlier ovulation though. Fingers crossed for you!
I’m also waiting for the CB form. Will be good to get some free stuff for next cycle if this one isn’t successful.

My app is saying ovulation due in 8 days (CD17). Going to start my CB digital tomorrow. I’ve taken a few cheap ones the last few days and all low so far. I need to order progesterone test soon if I’m going to do it. Xx

Morning both,

@emmatcc1 I'm good thanks just in that annoying stage of waiting for O.

@Ttcsecond my temp dropped to O temp this morning, it was an early temp (5:15) and haven't got up to do an LH test yet. This has never happened before 😅 xx

I started getting some watery cm so ovulation is close. Also I feel like my test today might be just a bit darker.
How are you doing?

Angelselevenx · 11/05/2023 14:02

@Ttcsecond eek!! I'm going to start testing LH from tomorrow onwards, once a day until I start to feel some potential O symptoms then I'll up it to twice a day to catch peak as usual. I'll really intrigued to see if it's brought forward or not.

Let me know how you get on with the CB o kit! I heard back from that clearblue research panel thing too and they've sent out the registration form, just waiting for it to arrive then I'll send it back to them xx

Ttcsecond · 11/05/2023 13:59

@emmatcc1 Well done for making the tablets more palatable!

@Angelselevenx I’ve got 10 days until predicted ovulation too 🤣. My clear blue ovulation kit should arrive tomorrow or Saturday so can start using that and will start when get a flashing smiley. Xx

Morning @Ttcsecond yes me too, if no luck this month!

Good idea on discarding, at this early stage of the cycle that won't matter too much.

I'm okay thanks, temp rose from my low one yesterday and I think the bleeding from AF is going to end today finally so I'll be starting DTD soon. I've got 10 days until predicted O if b6 doesn't bring it forward so not to long to wait. Xx

I managed to take vitamins b without tasting anything. I covered the tablet with butter and then take it with a spoon full of yogurt followed by a fizzy drink. Worked like a charm.

Ttcsecond · 11/05/2023 09:13

Morning @Angelselevenx

Yes have heard it’s good for male and female fertility. Might be something to try next month.

Other things I’ve read about are Vitex and soy isoflavones but think they are more for PCOS.

I got out of bed today and started getting ready and then remembered I hadn’t taken my temp so quickly did it and it was very low so think going to discard todays.

how are you doing? Xx

Angelselevenx · 10/05/2023 21:35

@emmatcc1 yeah I've always used them, never had any issues with them! They always match up with my temp drop too.

@Ttcsecond have you read about Maca root? Xx

You use the one step tests? I first bought them and then went on to read a bunch of negative comments how they aren’t accurate.

@emmatcc1 I don't think the numbers matter to much it's just good to see when peak is

@emmatcc1 id have that as 0.32/34 as that's low still. These were mine. I haven't started testing this month but soon as I've stopped bleeding I'll start

It’s the same test top with flash bottom without. As I went to adjust the bottom one the app read the test line as completely white so it definitely wasn’t right.

So I did my first ovulation test today and now I don’t know if I should log it in with our without flashlight. Also premom automatically calculated the test at 0.1 but I manually put in the darkness of both lines and it came out at 0.34. Should I leave it to the app or continue adjusting it.

@Angelselevenx I had those vitl tablets in the past and they were yummy. The coating of the tablets had a vanilla taste. Are they still like that ?

@Ttcsecond good, glad you're okay. Hopefully this months our month although as the months go by I'm getting less positive 😔.

That's a good idea, I'll try that tomorrow. I do think if I don't take them all together I'd forget 😅.

this time last month it was 36.26 and the last time it was 36.15 was CD15 where it jumped down on CD20 but I'm only on CD8 now (or so I think as I don't know if that initial spotting would be classed as period. I took an LH test just now and it's very much negative so I think it was just a low temp for whatever reason.

I'm okay thanks, feel like there's a lot of pregnancy announcements around me at the minute which of course I'm so happy for people but it does make you feel a bit disheartened xx

@Angelselevenx

In general I’m fine. Got a busy month this month so think it will go quickly. Just wish there was a way of knowing if these vitamins make a difference! Maybe try taking the b vitamins at night so you can sleep off the headache if you get one? How are you in general?

I read somewhere that coq10 is good to take with fats so I usually take that one after breakfast.

what was your temp around this time last month? Can take an LH test to check where your levels are at. Xx
