Tracking BBT - TTC

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 well done for still running! How are you feeling in general?

My temp dropped right down to 36.10 today and my O temp is normally 35.95 so I hope it doesn't drop again as I'm still bleeding 😣.

Yeah I took it first thing before I ate, maybe I need to eat at the same time. This was my concoction this morning 🤦🏽‍♀️🥲 xx

Morning @Angelselevenx

Ok I think. I didn’t feel great last night but think that was because I went for a run and then ate late.

looking online it does say b6 can cause headaches. Do you take it first thing in the morning? Xx

@Ttcsecond how are you finding b6/b complex? I feel like I get a headache afterwards

@emmatcc1 could you crush them and add them to a drink?

emmatcc1 · 10/05/2023 09:03

@Angelselevenx I’ll have to find and alternative. I tried with a grape and couldn’t swallow it so I took it with a spoon full of yogurt didn’t taste but I feel like I still got the aftertaste and I almost threw up.

@emmatcc1 no they don't, just my fertility vit and vit b, the rest (coq10, multivitamin & vegan omegs 3) don't taste of anything

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 09/05/2023 22:50

@Angelselevenx Do all your tablets have this taste? I’m only taking 2. One is folic with vitamins b and the other is vitamin d without taste it’s a capsule.

@emmatcc1 I know, swallowing a whole grape is good going!!

I've now got 6 tablets to take in the morning and I'm a wuss. I do find taking tablets with fizzy better but I couldn't drink Pepsi max at 7am to take them 😂

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 09/05/2023 22:26

@Angelselevenx Yes it surprised me today it was very unexpected I didn’t think it’s gonna taste that bad but it made me gag so I’ll have to find a way to not taste it maybe put it in the middle of a grape and swallow the whole thing.

@emmatcc1 stinks doesn't it 😂😂

I take 800mcg of folic acid, but why did no one say that vitamin b has horrible smell and taste.

@MK85 thanks that's really helpful!

I had a headache earlier and was worried I'd overdosed on folic acid, I think it's just I'm on a diet and was lacking sugar 🤣🤣

I found this if it's any help

Thank you @MK85 that’s really good to know. I had visions of trying to cut my folic acid tablets in half 🤣

MK85 · 09/05/2023 19:42

I spoke to my consultant regarding folic acid, at the time I was taking 600mg and he was fine with that.
Another consultant told me to take a prenatal which has 400mg anyway and take extra folic and d on top so 🙉
🤷‍♀️ Research seems to suggest 600mg is fine and apparently some recommended that dose for women who've had recurrent mcs. Although I'd ask your doctor just to confirm as I have some medical conditions so maybe I require more.
I'm actually taking a little more than that now tho about 700-750mg daily . 400 from my prenatal and I take inositol due to pcos and it has folic in it aswell . Its hard to find it without added folic .so yeah my dose is quite high

@Ttcsecond I'm already googling 😅 xx

@Angelselevenx

Mine’s the same, I hadn’t realised. Can you take too much folic acid I wonder. Xx

Original poster
Angelselevenx · 09/05/2023 16:30

@Ttcsecond also my fertility multivitamin includes folic acid at 400mg and the b complex contains folic acid at 200mg, that's going to be to much isn't it 🫠 xx

@Ttcsecond no I havent, I've just checked online too and it says it's fine to take both but wanted to see if you were taking both too 🤣.

Yeah my multivitamin only has 15mg plus the 50mg tablet and the 10mg in the b complex it's still well under the 100mg tablets you can take.

Me too, I seen a lady say she started on CD6 and she ovulated earlier and fell pregnant the same month. I'm CD7 today so really I should stop bleeding tomorrow but not sure if I will xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 09/05/2023 16:11

@Angelselevenx

I have been so far unless you’ve read anything saying you shouldn’t do them at the same time?!
my b complex ones only have small about of b6 in them so assumed it was fine to do that.

Only Cd5 today but hoping we both ovulate sooner this month xx

Angelselevenx · 09/05/2023 15:55

@Ttcsecond are you taking vb6 & vit b complex at the same time? Just picked mine up, I've been reading about them all day with positive stories. Manifestation and all that 😅 xx

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 09/05/2023 09:54

I was thinking of starting today and until after ovulation to get a hang of it and know what to expect next month if needed.

Hey @emmatcc1 I'm on CD6, normally O around CD21 although I'm starting b6 tomorrow so I'm hoping it brings it forward a few days 🤞🏼. I take a fertility vitamin that includes the standard fertility vitamins (there's a photo a few messages down), starting b6, b complex, higher dose coq10 and bee propolis tomorrow.

I'd be starting 1 LH test a day from after AF finishing and then when it nears CD9 I'd be doing 2 a day to check for LH surge to ensure you catch it.

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 08/05/2023 22:02

When should I start testing for ovulation? I ovulated day 11 past two cycles and it usually varies between 10-14.

Ttcsecond · 08/05/2023 20:07

Hello @emmatcc1

I’m on CD4 too. I use OPKs and find them helpful for identifying when I’m going to ovulate. I’ve upped my vitamins this cycle. I’m taking: Folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D, omega 3, coq10, vitamin b6 and vitamin b complex. Plus took a low dose aspirin last night. I’m rattling around now 🤣🤣

@Angelselevenx
I’m taking one 50mg vitamin b6 and then one b complex. Will up to two after ovulation to help progesterone (I think, don’t actually know the science!). I don’t mind the Brazil nuts but think you only need to eat one or two a day. Seen that you can get magnesium spray and it helps with sleep too so might get and see if what it does. I’m spending a bloody fortune! Xx
