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 😊

@Angelselevenx
Yeah I took a FRER today. No progression.

They must have checked HCG. Would love to know what the number is. Will ask on Sunday.

hopefully you fall pregnant this month and then don’t have to do the study at all 😊

@Ttcsecond try not to worry too much (easier said than done). Scans are easier to see what's going on in in the inside, I'm guessing they've checked your hcg levels.

Have you taken anymore FRER/IC to see what they look like?

I actually forgot about the study 😅 I can't do it anyway as apparently I can't take the stuff on holiday so I'll have to start it next month xx

@Angelselevenx
No they didn’t say but have had a message today saying I’ve got a scan on Sunday which is making me worried they think it’s ectopic.

Still getting 1-2 weeks on clear blue test. Contacted the study and I’ve got to send the stuff back as I now can’t take part but can reapply in a month or so.

@Ttcsecond oh good! when will you get your results? Do you know what they're checking for?

Oh bless you hun, I'm glad you've told your other half as I know you mentioned he can struggle with it a bit but it's nice to have each other to lean on.

It could be something as simple as getting progesterone to help with your levels which hopefully they'll check for you in your blood tests. I'm so glad you're getting some tests done.

I'm CD5, so still a good couple of weeks before I O. I've ended up staying on everything for this month alongside preseed to see how that goes xx

@Angelselevenx
thank you 🥰

I went for the blood tests yesterday so wanted to get things started asap. Told my other half as well and about the other chemicals. Lots of tears yesterday and feeling sad but today feeling better today. Currently still testing positive but no progression at all. I think my other half is still hopeful but I know it’s over.
GP has also referred me for a pelvic scan so should get an appointment for that at some point.

What CD are you on now? Did you decide just to take folic acid? Xx

@Ttcsecond oh hun I'm so so sorry. I'm glad you've called the doctors and going to get some answers. Here if you need to chat or rant or whatever of course. Hope you're okay xx

@Angelselevenx
GP is referring me to miscarriage clinic. But going for some blood tests tomorrow first. At least the ball is rolling on finding out what the issue is.

Hope you’re still having a fab holiday 😊

@Angelselevenx
Not great. Tests lighter and boobs less sore. Going to ring the doctors when then open, not that they can do anything.

I saw this coming but still had some hope. I don’t know why it’s happening. Xx

@Ttcsecond that's a really good sign! This could definitely be it lovely, try to relax as much as you can. Unfortunately we can't help if something happens but for now you're pregnant and just enjoy it as much as you can.

That's good to know, maybe I'll use it a couple of days before O and then day of O just to help them stick around 🤞🏼 xx

Ttcsecond · 07/06/2023 13:00

@Angelselevenx AF was due yesterday. No bleeding and boobs very sore. I do feel pregnant but just don’t think it’s going to stick. Added boots picture.

no I only used it twice over the most fertile days. Glad you’re managing to relax and enjoy yourself xx

@Ttcsecond that still looks like a good strong line, when would AF be due or has it already not shown up? 🤞🏼 no bleeding is a good sign.

Do you have any photos of the boots ones?

It's lovely thank you, haven't even bothered temping just so I can relax and forget about it for a few days. Will definitely temp when I'm on holiday with my OH next week though so I can see when O is. Did you use preseed every time in your FW? Don't know whether to just use it from my temp dip and the next two/3 days afterwards xx

Morning @Angelselevenx
Not great. Either same as or lighter than 13dpo. I’m trying not to panic. Would have thought I would have close to a dye stealer by now. My boots ones got darker from 12dpo to 14dpo so maybe it’s ok. Will take another boots one tomorrow.

how’s the holiday? Xx

@Ttcsecond definitely stop googling, it'll drive you insane! You don't know when you implanted either. Keep me updated with any tests you do over the next few days.

Thank you! Don't be silly, I'll be the same when it happens for me 😅 xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 06/06/2023 10:12

@Angelselevenx
I’m 14dpo. I should stop googling as everyone else’s tests look stronger than mine. I’m tried and boobs are sore but apart from that and the worrying I’m all good.

Hope you have the best couple of days away 😀. Thanks for reading my neurotic posts over the last few days 🤣xx

Angelselevenx · 06/06/2023 10:00

@Ttcsecond that's definitely positive. How many dpo are you now? Hopefully you'll be able to see a clear difference with the FRER when you do it. How do you feel?

Yes ready to go! Just about to leave for the first one, got preseed arriving ready to pack for my next holiday next week too! 🤣🤣 xx

Ttcsecond · 06/06/2023 09:56

@Angelselevenx
This is the clear blue I just took. It’s positive but got nothing to compare it to.

how are you doing? Ready for holidays? Xx

Ttcsecond · 06/06/2023 08:34

@Angelselevenx no only the FRER and the two shops I’ve been to this morning on my way to work don’t have the early ones. Got a couple of clear blue rapid detection ones so will use one of them for SMU. Stomach is in knots and don’t know if that’s because I’m scared or AF xx

Angelselevenx · 06/06/2023 07:51

@Ttcsecond it could be because they aren't as sensitive, so you have any early ones left that are 10 miu/ml? Xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 06/06/2023 07:49

@Angelselevenx
Ive saved the FRER for tomorrow. This is the test. It’s not a sensitive one though (25mi). I did the same test with SMU yesterday which was a lot darker but Mary be because it was SMU? Xx

@Angelselevenx
Cheap strip test was super light this morning. Trying not to over think it. But fearing it’s happening again xx

Ttcsecond · 05/06/2023 20:36

@Angelselevenx

I hope you have a wonderful holiday. And then a brilliant second holiday! I hope AF comes soon and is shorter for you.

Yes folic acid is the most important one. Next important I think is vitamin D but you should be getting more of that from the sun in summer anyways.

I’ve got one more FRER so might use that one on Wednesday and see how the line looks. It gets quite addictive taking tests.
