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 my temp rose again today after a drop yesterday which is weird, it could be because I had a hot water bottle for cramps but no idea so not sure I can take yesterday as CD1 ☹️.

Are you going to do anything differently this cycle? I don't know whether to ask the doctors for a hormone level check. My luteal phase is 11 days to which is just over the short threshold so I'm worried that's playing a part.

Hope you're doing okay xx

@Ttcsecond I use standard online OPK tests and then track them via Premom as it monitors how dark the line is, you can get about 50 ovulation tests for about £3 it's much cheaper xx

@Ttcsecond me too, I'm glad we've got each other please message me if you want to chat.

It did, it dropped to below cover line this morning but still no proper bleeding, just coffee ground like brown blood which is common for early miscarriage. Do you know how long your luteal phase is? Xx

I've seen comments that you’re more fertile after a chemical so fingers crossed that is the case for us.

Has your temp dropped? That might help identify CD1 for you. But yes keep using your OPKs. I usually use the clear blue digital but it’s so expensive so debating what to do this time. Xx

@Ttcsecond I'm okay, I keep crying but I kind of expected it, I've had to have a blood test to rule out ectopic.

Oh bless you 😢 I think I'll throw mine away as I can't deal with looking at them. I'm also not sure when to class as CD 1 as I've been bleeding since my expected AF on Saturday but only just had a negative today. I'll just have to keep temping and work out when the O date is through OPKs xx

@Angelselevenx my heart breaks for you. How are you feeling?

Cycle day 2 for me. I still can’t bring myself to throw away my positive tests. They’re still in my handbag. Not told anyone about my chemical apart from on here.

@Ttcsecond it was a chemical, glad I've still been tracking BBT so I can continue it through for next cycle xx

@Angelselevenx

I’m so sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed the test is wrong and you get good news at the EPU. Sending hugs xx

@Ttcsecond I did a test yesterday that was pregnant 1-2 weeks and todays is not pregnant so I think I've had a chemical. Would be 15dpo today but going to the EPU as I've had spotting since Saturday just want to make sure it looks normal in there xx

AF arrived, at least now I haven’t answer. Going to try and not test early this cycle!

good luck with your pregnancy @Angelselevenx ❤️

and baby dust to everyone else!

@MK85 Not sure but it looks promising

MK85 · 03/04/2023 12:20

@emmatcc1 yes todays temps is back up and much higher

emmatcc1 · 03/04/2023 09:54

@MK85 Have you mesured temps today already 6 dpo os the earliest for implantation but unlikely and that's a really big dip.

Ttcsecond · 03/04/2023 08:56

That’s amazing that the digital confirmed. So happy for you! X

last month I took omega 3, vitamin c, vitamin d, folic acid and then added in vitamin b complex after I ovulated. Got some higher dose vitamin c and CoQ-10 which I heard is good for egg quality. Hopefully they will be the answer for a sticky baby.

@Ttcsecond I know, I've done about 14 tests since Friday I've spent an absolute fortune and OH thinks I've got mental.

I'm sorry to hear 😔 did you take vitamins last month? I used the vitl subscription and had the fertility vitamin.

Spotting seems to have stopped although I did have a bit of blood last night. Lines have progressed from 2 days ago and I took a digital that has confirmed. Going to ring the doctors this morning although I'm sure they won't do anything, even if it's just some reassurance for the spotting x

Ttcsecond · 03/04/2023 07:47

@Angelselevenx No it wasn’t a weeks one, it was a 6 days early digital. Cost a fortune!
I’m cramping today, temp has gone down and line barely visible on a sainsburys test. So think AF will arrive on. time tomorrow.
Got some additional vitamins ordered to try for next cycle.
Lots of women spot in early pregnancy so I’m sure it’s nothing to be concerned about. Hope your lines are darker today 🤞🏻

@Ttcsecond I'd ignore the lines and go with what's on the digital, so you have the one that says how many weeks you are? I started spotting on Saturday when my period was due and had a bit of red blood last night, hoping it's just hormonal and there's some line progression this morning 😔🤞🏼

I've been measuring it orally but might switch to internally next month. I downloaded Fertility friend and this is what it says

@MK85 Try the fertility friend app it calculates ovulation day based on temperature. There is a dip just before an egg releases and it rises when it's been releases. Not sure what the dip would be as it's too early for implantation. How do you measure temps.
Also here's what mine looks like I switched to tracking vaginally yesterday as I found that it's more accurate than orally.

Are any of ladies able to understand BBT. I can't understand what I'm supposed to be looking for. Here's my chart. Positive on ovulation test on 26th and 27th march. Bbt took a dip day before I got the positive then continued to rise for few days and took a big dip this morning. Does any of this mean anything to you ? And would this chart indicate I did successfully ovulate or did not

Im so confused right now. I got a clear blue digital early test. Did it with not my first wee of the day (more like 3rd). It came up pregnant but they are quite sensitive. But I did the thing you’re not supposed to do and opened it up and there’s only one line! Either there’s no control line or there’s only the control line. I don’t know what to think

Ttcsecond · 02/04/2023 08:19

Morning @Angelselevenx
Unfortunately it is looking like a chemical. Much lighter FRER. Going to stop testing now and wait for AF. Hopefully she won’t be too delayed.

hope it’s better news for you!
