Tracking BBT - TTC

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 😊

It also moved my O day which I don't think it right, I'm putting it back on CD21 to go with my positive LH test the day previously and negative on CD21

We're all due around the same time for AF, fingers crossed it doesn't show for any of us!

I excluded yesterdays temp drop as it was making me nervous every time I looked at it 😅 I've been doing a lot of googling and it does say it's due to a second oestrogen surge/corpus luteum but it makes me feel better to hide it haha. Temp jumped up today though which is nice to see, 4DPO 🤞🏼

I don’t test it causes me so much stress. Af is due on 5th if I’m late I’ll test.

Ttcsecond · 27/04/2023 11:54

@emmatcc1
It could be implantation. Fingers crossed it is! Can definitely understand the impatience 🤣. Do you have an idea of when you are thinking about testing?

emmatcc1 · 27/04/2023 10:17

I do vaginal measuring so my temp are very consistent without fluctuations but I had a 0.2 dip today at 6 dpo not sure if that was a faulty measure or maybe implantation. I’m getting impatient now.

@Ttcsecond oh wow that's a good raise there!!

That's good you've got a class tonight. Do you know what, I feel the same as you. I just feel like my temp isn't being as straight forward as I'd like it to be and maybe I've missed O by a day or so, I don't know maybe like you, it's the save myself the hurt. I really hope this is it for us though 🤞🏼

So I can't remember what day it was but I had really intense pinching in my uterus one evening I think that was 6dpo but I can't remember. To the point where it stopped me in my tracks but then if I had a chemical did it even implant? I'm not sure. I know I'll be looking out for all of this in a few days, 🤷🏽‍♀️ xx

@Angelselevenx
Sorry I meant to attach my chart and forgot.

I’ve got an exercise class tonight to keep me busy. But need to make some plans the next few days to keep my mind off it all. I’m feeling ok. No symptom spotting, just feel normal. I am feeling like this isn’t my month for some reason, maybe just to protect myself from crushing disappointment again.

I wonder if you’ll feel the same around 8dpo. Did you get any implantation cramps?!

xx

@Ttcsecond how weird 🤣. Ooh yay! What is your graph looking like?

Definitely Thursday thankfully! I'm off from this afternoon until Tuesday so I'm hoping I don't obsess too much, although I feel a lot more relaxed this time round (she says, fussing over the 3DPO temp drop)

I'm good thanks, how are you feeling? Any symptom spotting?

I had it I think 29th April which was 8dpo which was when I had to leave the gym early cause I nearly passed out 😂. I have no idea what caused that! X

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 27/04/2023 09:02

@Angelselevenx
That’s funny we both had the same thing. And I took my temp an hour earlier that day too.

Mine went up again today. Highest it’s been at this stage compared to prior months. No symptoms to speak of. Woke up today thinking it was Wednesday so was very pleased to realise it was Thursday.

How are you? When was your dizzy spell last time? Xx

Morning! @Ttcsecond really weirdly I also had a big temp drop at 3DPO today, it went below cover line so I'm just hoping it goes back up again tomorrow. Did an OPK just to check I wasn't ovulating and that's as negative as it could get 🤷🏽‍♀️

I did take my temp at 5am whereas normally I do it between 6-7 but not sure that would cause that big of a dip! how are you doing? X

@Ttcsecond woohoo hopefully it keeps going up tomorrow! Oh really, that is annoying. FF looks a lot easier to read as well.

Yes me too, I'm alright at the moment but I'm definitely symptom spotting even though it's far to early but every niggle I'm questioning what it could be 😅.

That's good! Hoping mine goes quickly too, just got to get to the weekend then it should go fairly quickly 🤞🏼 xx

OP posts:

Morning @Angelselevenx

That’s a great temp jump! Mine went up again today but it keeps changing my ovulation date on my app which is annoying. So started using fertility friend along side it my other app for the graph.

It’s nice not having to think about any tests atm and whether I’ve drunk too much water so will be diluted etc.

First few days after ovulation have gone quite quickly so hoping the rest of the week does too. How are you finding it? Xx

@Ttcsecond I think I'd just be doing it for the sake of it to be honest so I'll probably skip tonight unless the OH tries 😂

That's some good willpower you've got there, I know full well come this time next week I'll be itching to test! 😅

No way, pleaaaase let that be a sign! 🤞🏼 xx

Ttcsecond · 25/04/2023 18:16

@Angelselevenx I think you’re covered so don’t force yourself if you don’t want to.

Yeah you’re right about it being early. Maybe I’ll just not test and wait it out like I wanted to. I say this now but I have no self control 🤣.

AF due on the 7th for me too! Xx

Angelselevenx · 25/04/2023 17:50

@Ttcsecond it was an effort to get it done again 😂.

That's a good idea, hopefully something shows although 8dpo is still early so even if you do have a glass I wouldn't worry!

Yeah, so I'll be 13dpo when AF is due (7th April) but think I'll test 11dpo which is 5th April then I can work out what to do.

Yeah I've had some twinges today, I don't know whether to try for one more BD as it's the day after O but hopefully last night would cover me if the egg came out yesterday afternoon 🤷🏽‍♀️ xx

Ttcsecond · 25/04/2023 10:51

@Angelselevenx wow are a BD machine 🤣🤣. Definitely due a well earned rest now.

I’ve got an event of go to on Sunday when I should be 8dpo. So I don’t know whether to do a FRER then and if there’s a hint of a line then drive. Or if nothing relax and have a drink (like a glass of wine not loads). I did want to wait this month til at least 10dpo originally. Are you still planning on waiting until the wedding you’ve got?

I had some twinges on Sunday but not much since then. Xx

Angelselevenx · 25/04/2023 09:58

@Ttcsecond finally joining you in the TWW then! 😄 I managed to get another bd in last night now that's me done for a month 😅.

Oh really that's frustrating, they do say if you sleep differently it can impact your temp so that makes sense if you slept better last night.

Eek 3 days to go for you then, are you planning on testing early? Oh wow well done you! On and off green juicing (that lasted long 🤣), still eating reasonably healthy with all my vitamins etc included so keeping my fingers crossed.

Last month around the time of what would've been implantation I was really dizzy at the gym so I'll be keeping an eye out for that although trying to not symptom spot, probably won't last very long.

I do keep (and I had this last month) getting twinges in my ovaries. Do you get that? Xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 25/04/2023 09:35

Morning @Angelselevenx
Yeah that looks like 1dpo to me, exciting!

My temp is all over the place. I had to put todays and abnormal otherwise it’s putting me a 4dpo rather than 3dpo. It slightly dropped today but looking back at the last few months I think my temp has done the same thing around this time and it wasn’t a huge drop. I did get a great nights sleep last night so maybe that played a part.

Feeling no different atm. Last month I started feeling a bit pregnant around 7dpo so we shall see. Only thing is my jeans a a little looser from the running 🤣. How are you? Green juicing still? Xx

Morning @Ttcsecond you were right, temp raised today so I think I'm now 1DPO maybe? 🤣

I'm sure you're completely covered when you managed to DTD. Are you 3DPO now? How are you feeling? Xx

@Angelselevenx

Ooo tough one. The lines on the test from 23rd look the darkest to me. I would say ovulation day is today. Hopefully you should get a bit of a temp rise tomorrow.

I’m ok thanks. My temp is pretty much the same as yesterday. Didn’t get to DTD yesterday so hopefully the others times were enough. Going to keep myself busy this week to distract myself.

How are you? Xx

Angelselevenx · 24/04/2023 16:34

@Ttcsecond who knows what's going on here 😅 my temp stayed almost the same and I had peak like LH tests last night and first thing this morning then by 10am my LH had dropped right down to barely noticeable. Do you think I Od overnight or today?

How are you doing? Xx

@Ttcsecond I hit peak again this morning but DTD last night and going to try again tonight too.

Eek yay you've had it confirmed, I'd be DTD anyway 🤣🤣. My temps risen slightly but this happened last month then it shot up the next day.

I had quite a lot of ovulation pain yesterday too but LH are still high at the minute so think it must just be the ovaries preparing to eject 🤣🤣.

At least we're in the TWW together before we drive ourselves insane! Xx

@Angelselevenx morning. Giving yourself the best chance there. I don’t know they answer to that question, tried to Google it but couldn’t find the answer. How are you feeling?

My OPKs are back low and my temp went up today so think I ovulated yesterday. Didn’t have a chance to DTD yesterday and don’t know if today is too late. I felt a bit crampy and not myself yesterday, I wonder if that was ovulation pains.

Now we’ve just got the dreaded two week wait 🤣. Xx

@Ttcsecond morning lovely, I hit peak last night and still at peak this morning so looks like mines a long surge as well. Do we take it from first peak or when it goes down again? Going to DTD again tonight anyway incase it's today xx
