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 😊

@Angelselevenx
thank you! I’ll let you know who it goes.

How’s the study going. When I told my partner about it he was not keen on the sorting the pee in the fridge 🤣xx

@Ttcsecond I'm certain you'll be fine, the fact your symptoms are still there is a positive sign 🤞🏼😊 can't wait to see some photos.

Honestly it's been much better, I didn't realise the stress and pressure I was putting on myself and my OH as well. Exactly, although it's this week that's wasted BD because they won't count for anything 😂😂😂. I think O is 22nd if it's a day early again or 23rd if it's CD20. I've been rubbish at taking my vitamins as well.

I also forgot I was doing that clearblue study so I've been having to collect my pee samples everyday but haven't used any of the sticks they sent because 'I'm going for a more relaxed approach 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️' xx

@Angelselevenx Yeah hopefully. Getting nervous about the scan on Thursday now. Hoping it’s still growing.

how does it feel not tracking and having a bit of your life back? Next weekend will be here before you know it. Xx

@Ttcsecond oh noooo 😢😅 that's rubbish!! Hopefully it eases off the closer you get to 12 weeks!

I'm okay thank you, feeling a lot better now. O is next weekend so although I'm not 'tracking' I still have a good idea when it is etc 🤞🏼 xx

@Angelselevenx
hello! I’m ok apart from the nausea. My partner made me tea last night and I took one look at it and had to run to the bathroom to retch. I felt so sorry for him!

How are you doing? Xx

CurlyWurly1991 · 10/07/2023 14:36

@emmatcc1 good idea, I’m on CD5 and AF coming to an end, so will start temping again tomorrow I think. It has actually been really nice not to have to remember to do it (and analyse what it means etc). I realised last cycle just how meaningless the post-o temps are, because my temps up to 14dpo followed my pregnancy chart temps almost exactly. I expected a dip before AF but that didn’t happen. So it just made me have expectations and read into my (PMS) symptoms.

Hey @Ttcsecond how're you doing? Xx

I only temped last month from when my af stopped and until ov was confirmed. This month I have yet to measured and will only do when I get peak opk to know the day of ov. I’m feeling much better and less obsessive over everything.

CurlyWurly1991 · 05/07/2023 09:35

@Ttcsecond @Angelselevenx i agree - temping is good to get some baseline data and to see how symptoms - cramps/ov pains etc tie in with stages of cycle, but beyond that I find I can get a bit obsessive. If not successful this cycle I will try and hold off temping every day because I find it affects my sleep as I wake early to temp.

Ttcsecond · 05/07/2023 09:09

@Angelselevenx
oh no I’m so sorry that happened 😣.

I think you’re doing the right thing not temping. It’s interesting to see but now you’ve done it for a a while you know you ovulate and roughly when so don’t need to anymore. And no stressing about it not going up when it should etc. xx

@Ttcsecond I did and got a nasty evap. AF has arrived tonight 😒 feeling okay though. Cycle 6 we go and not temping anymore for the month now.

Eek nearly at the 8 weeks it's so exciting xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 04/07/2023 12:27

@Angelselevenx did you do another test today?

by my dates I’m 8 weeks but by the last scan I had I’m 7 weeks 4 days. Xx

Angelselevenx · 04/07/2023 06:53

@Ttcsecond yeah exactly! Although my period is due tomorrow (if I stick to a 31 day cycle which will have increased my LP to 12 days) or due today if my LP stays at 11 days as I ovulated early and my temps risen.

Aww yay perfect, bet you can't wait. How many weeks are you now? Xx

@Angelselevenx sounds like just what you need and glad you are both on the same page.

Yep scan is a week on Thursday. It’s near my work so just going to go on my lunch break. Xx

Angelselevenx · 03/07/2023 17:16

@Ttcsecond yeah exactly. He's in agreement, we're just gunna take the pressure off, no tracking and DTD when we feel like it and not force it. If it's meant to be it'll be!

I'll probably still take my vitamins 😂😂😂 well at least the b6 cause that's made my LP a day longer.

Yay to symptoms!! Yeah you'll be worried when they stop, totally normal though! Is your scan next week? Xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 03/07/2023 16:57

@Angelselevenx yes take a break from it all and be able to get out of bed without thinking oh no I’ve got to temp. How does your OH feel about stopping tracking? You roughly know when you ovulate anyways don’t you. Will you stop all the additional vitamins too?

I’m ok thanks. I bit tired and nauseous still. But I expect that will last for a few weeks, I’ll worry when they stop thought won’t i 🤦🏻‍♀️Xx

CurlyWurly1991 · 03/07/2023 10:27

@Angelselevenx feeling similar here. 11dpo and bfn although I don’t trust early hpts much as got such a late bfp with my first. Still, I have my usual AF cramps and nausea so expecting she will show in the next couple of days. Take care and hope you get some nice treats to keep you going x

@Ttcsecond I'm okay, I'm fed up though to be honest. I'm stopping tracking everything this month and just going to leave it up to what will be will be, I try so hard every month and feel like it's just getting a bit to much when it isn't happening.

I know, my last positive showed at 9DPO though so I think it would've shown by now.

How're you doing? Xx

@Angelselevenx sorry to hear that 😔. How are you?

there is still time for a positive but I know that doesn’t help to say. Xx

@Angelselevenx Nice! Info here https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Triphasic-chart.html

@CurlyWurly1991 what does triphasic mean? 🤣

My natural cycles chart I've amended to have my 4am temp yesterday included instead of my later temp and I've kept FF as my later temp from yesterday so I can compare the two

@Angelselevenx sounds promising! Does FF recognise a triphasic pattern? Would say so in the pregnancy monitor section. They have some good Q&A on triphasic charts too.
my temp is similar today as yesterday. It’s looking a lot like an ovulatory chart from 10 years (I only have a couple of charts on FF to refer to!) and less like my pregnancy chart. Will attach a pic to show what I mean.
