@NLmum4 yeah mine has gone up also so I’m hoping that in combination with LH means I have actually ovulated. What day do you usually start testing? Did you have any early symptoms with your previous pregnancies?

@CatiaR Ah ok that’s good to know as don’t really have a regular cycle so all a bit unknown of what I’m looking for

CatiaR · 26/11/2023 20:39

@Bugs22mk A lot can make bbt change but for me bbt drops usually the day of AF although last cycle bbt dropped the day after AF showed up. I’ve done bbt for 4 cycles now and find it useful to confirm ovulation and then to let me know when/if AF is coming especially since I normally don’t have any symptoms at all

NLmum4 · 26/11/2023 20:34

I have only done bbt properly this month - but my understanding is the temp goes down just before af.
I agree the temps can vary / mine has been a lot higher since ovulation (2 days ago). Will be interesting to see what happens
Looking back on previous pregnancies didn't get a bfp till 11-12 dpo. Seems ages to go

Yeah it’s so hard not to question every symptom 🙈
I have been trying to track BBT with an oral thermometer but find there is quite a lot of variation and know you have to do it in quite a specific way for it to be accurate so thinking that’s probably why.
what does you BBT usually go up to/ drop down to before AF?

NLmum4 · 26/11/2023 19:34

Hello both
I totally over think- just can't help it.
I had this weird thing on day after ovulation - really strong camps bottom of tummy . Never felt anything like it .
Are you all tracking bbt?

Hello! I am 5 or 6 DPO I believe, hard to know as have had irregular periods since coming off the pill a few months ago but had a +ve OPK this month. Only second month of trying but already finding it quite challenging to not constantly overthink it so its nice to hear others experiences!

CatiaR · 25/11/2023 19:33

@NLmum4 I’ll tag you in it 😊

@Limmers14 hiya! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Limmers14 · 25/11/2023 19:03

Hey ladies! Baby #1 and cycle #5, kind of. It’s the first one where we’ve really tried I think as DH now seems to understand the importance of timing!

Joining as I think I’m 1DPO? According to Flo anyway but I’m not sure that’s the most accurate… we’ve DTD 4 times this week so hoping we caught it. I’ve been using ovulation tests and monitoring my temp but not seen any obvious changes. My period has been irregular since I came off contraception too but seems to be coming back to a 35 day cycle. Crossing fingers for everyone!!

NLmum4 · 25/11/2023 18:04

Yes it's hard when everyone around seems to be having babies. Even though we are the early days a negative is so frustrating.
Only started tracking bbt just getting my head around it.
When I conceived previously don't track bbt. dtd on peak day and seemed to work. I haven't been able to manage to this time round on exactly peak day- wonder for me if that's the key
What's the name of the other post - I searched 'bbt to a bfp' couldn't see.

@NLmum4 ah I see, it can be very hard not to test but I’ve been finding it really disappointing to see bfns so have been trying my best not to test unless AF doesn’t show which I have failed the last two cycles but hey only tested once last cycle so getting better 😂

I do BBT so generally can tell when AF is on her way so I’ll try to stick to that. I’m extremely busy in work so I’d like to think that 2 weeks will go by fast but who knows.

at least recently my cycles have been slowly regulating to a more normal length as after ttc it went to like 37 days and very late ovulations. But I’m slowly trying to chill put and that seems to be helping. Obviously can’t wait for it to happen for us especially as I see close people IRL having babies and my brother in law got his girlfriend pregnant accidentally although they miscarried (they were definitely not trying at all) so can feel disappointing when we’re trying and no luck. 5 months is still early on but we obviously want it asap don’t we? 😅

its always nice to have company at least, we got another thread going too if you have seen BBT to a BFP in September (a bit outdated now 😂) and most of the ladies there have got their bfps now but we’re all very supportive there too if you’d like to join there as well 😊

NLmum4 · 25/11/2023 17:06

Brilliant and hello
2 boys already 3 and 6- cycle 3 where properly focused

Hiya! I just got my positive opk today so ovulating tomorrow and then 1dpo again so I’ll be a few days behind but happy to join 😊

We’re TTC #1 and on cycle 5 what about you? 😊
