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 I’ve got my rescan at EPU in a week so hopefully that will show some progress and a heartbeat.

I think you’ll be well covered with those days. Soon as you get back you need to book another holiday 🤣xx

@Ttcsecond oh my goodness I'm so happy for you, congratulations lovely. 🥰 hopefully that's given you a bit of relief. Maybe it was just a bit of implantation spotting. Are you going to book an early scan? Eeeek I'm so excited, you're going to have to give me regular updates please!!

I'm good thank you, OPK still low but DTD -5, -3 from O so far, going to try for -2 and day of O 🤞🏼 or -1 & day of O. Going to just try to get day of O and another day between now and then is basically what I'm saying 😂😂. Still on holiday! Home tomorrow though then back to reality 🫠 xx

@Angelselevenx
Morning. I just got the 3+ on Clearblue. I’m shaking. I know things can still go wrong but that’s really helped me feel a bit more positive! And the spotting has stopped.

How are you? Still living your best holiday life I hope. Xx

@Ttcsecond you got your dye stealer 🥺 I'm remaining positive for you.

They say it only takes the once! Funny it happened whilst OH was in a cast though 🤣. If I can do Wednesday and then Friday/Saturday I'll be happy xx

@Angelselevenx
Trying not to stress, will do the cleabrlue tomorrow or Wednesday as I think seeing 2-3 tomorrow will send me into a tailspin. latest test in the picture (25) is from Saturday.

I think we only managed to DTD 2 two times (max 3) over my fertile week as had a friend staying and my partner was in a leg cast. Xx

@Ttcsecond I'm excited for you, I think this is it. It could just be a slow baby, try not to stress too much, I know that's so much easier said than done. Do you have any photos of your tests?

True, I'm CD15 now and DTD this morning so I'm in my fertile stage, going to try again Wednesday, Friday & Saturday if we can. At least another 2 times and day of O ideally.

How many times did you DTD last month? I need to use preseed at some point too but I might try that once we're home xx

@Angelselevenx I’m so relieved it wasn’t ectopic so feel so much lighter. Obviously still a bit worried that it’s measuring behind.

I’m going to do the clearblue on Tuesday as this will have been a week since I got 2-3.

I know what you mean but every cycle there is a chance. Xx

@Ttcsecond ah okay, I think that's a relief but how do you feel? When are you going to take the clearblue? I'm really hopeful for you 🤞🏼.

Thank you, I hope so but I think I said before as the months go on I just get less hopeful each cycle 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

Ttcsecond · 18/06/2023 16:07

@Angelselevenx they said bloods weren’t necessary as measuring in line with the hcg tests I had last week. I’m still testing and my line is getting darker. Going to get a clear blue weeks one to check I get 3+ this week.
6 days isn’t long. Got everything crossed for you this month xx

@Ttcsecond eek well that's promising, it could be just a slow growing baby, glad they've got you back in in 10 days. Did they take more bloods for you?

LH is low 😅 still 6 days to go, but I've started getting a fair bit of cm so going to try DTD and then wait until Wednesday which will be -4 from O xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 18/06/2023 14:50

@Angelselevenx Just got out of my scan. They could see the yolk sack and gestational sac. She saw a tiny blob that could be the embryo. Measuring behind at 5 weeks when I should be 5 weeks 5 days by my calculations. Got another scan in 10 days. Fingers crossed it grows!

how are you? How’s you LH looking? Xx

@Ttcsecond hope today goes okay for you, let me know how you get on.

Only CD14 for me today, still got 6 days before O 🙄 xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 16/06/2023 21:16

@Angelselevenx Yes I will mention bloods to them.

That sounds positive. Hope it does come earlier for you xx

Original poster
Angelselevenx · 16/06/2023 21:07

@Ttcsecond definitely, if anything a bit of peace of mind. Hopefully they'll take more bloods to check the levels again? Try and push them on that if you can

Natural cycles is telling me from Sunday but I've just started getting some creamy cm so not sure if it's going to come earlier again? Xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 16/06/2023 21:06

@Angelselevenx I called my GP and he booked me in.

I don’t think they will see much at all. But want them to be able to see if it’s ectopic or not.

nearly fertile week for you! Xx

@Ttcsecond I think the main thing is that they've doubled, which they have. I don't think they mind too much what the number is and just that they're going in the right direction and doubling.

Glad you've got a scan with EPU, don't be alarmed if they can't see much though, hopefully they'll see something and get you booked back in for a weeks time. Did you call your doctor or EPU to get booked in? Xx

@emmatcc1 sounds like a good idea and makes the mornings a little bit easier.

@Angelselevenx found my test results on NHS. Shouldn’t have looked as sent me down a rabbit hole and not in a good way.
129 at 20dpo
337 at 22 dpo.
so more than doubled but sooooo low. Spotting has continued so got an EPU scan on Sunday but I think there is nothing there. Xx

emmatcc1 · 15/06/2023 20:45

@Ttcsecond Fingers crossed the baby is fine.
I’m feeling pretty good this month, currently 3dpo and I decided that now that bbt confirmed ovulation I’m gonna stop temping until next cycle since it makes me pretty stressed.

Ttcsecond · 15/06/2023 20:31

@emmatcc1

Thank you! Still very guarded about everything working out ok. Booked an early scan for next week to make sure there is a baby and it’s in the right place.

How are you?

emmatcc1 · 15/06/2023 14:32

@Ttcsecond Congrats on the pregnancy hope everything’s okay.

@Ttcsecond I don't think so but actually thinking about it I brushed a lot of hair out this morning 😅 I always lose a lot of hair though xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 15/06/2023 11:23

@Angelselevenx
Random question but have you noticed more hair loss since taking B6?

I fell like more of mine is coming out than usual. Going to stop taking it now and just stick to folic acid. Xx

@Ttcsecond I think that's normal considering everything you've been through, good idea getting an early scan done. I'm excited for you, I'm so so happy for you all.

Oh bless him, hopefully not to much longer and you can rest!

Oh definitely! 🤣 yeah, I'm still taking all my vitamins and I've started my LH tests this morning at CD11. Still ages to go though 🙄 xx
