Anyone who is temping - what do you think of my chart? Should I test?

Hello

Brief history. TTC DC2 for over a year. Have one DS who is 2.4. I fell very easily with him so have really struggled with all the disappointment over the last year. DP and I have been for tests and we are both fine. I am ovulating regularly. DP slightly low count but really good motility and morphology. The only thing I haven't had tested is AMH because they won't do it on the NHS and after a lot of thought I decided I didn't really want to know so haven't paid for the test privately (I'm 37 1/2).

Anyway, I've been temping. Mainly because I am a control freak and this whole secondary infertility thing has left me feeling very helpless and temping is the only way I've found to relieve some of that lack of control.

I am 11dpo today. Although my charts normally clearly show a shift after ovulation my post o temps are never really high (around the 36.6 mark). I have had the odd higher temp but never sustained. This cycle they have been really high (for me) climbing steadily from 6dpo onwards up into the 36.8's and now 36.9s.

I am really fighting the urge to test. I have had a couple of cycles where my temp has dropped on 12 or 13 dpo and one cycle where they didn't really drop at all until after AF has started so I don't want to get ahead of myself. But I can't stop thinking about it!

If you temp and this was your chart WWYD?

Thank you!

I'm not an expert, but your chart looks fine to me - nothing to worry about I wouldn't have thought as post-O temps are clearly higher than pre-O. I wouldn't test yet though: at 11dpo, you may well get a negative even if you have conceived. I'd try and hold out and see if AF arrives.

I think it looks promising. Try and wait to tomorrow to test. Dpo 12 is decent time to test. Though if you can wait longer wait (though with that chart not sure I would be ale to!)

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. Have been getting af like cramps today so losing hope. If temp still up tomorrow may test and put myself out of misery!

Ok, I've held out into 14dpo because I got a drop on 12dpo plus cramping. Was convinced that temp would plummet but it hasn't it's climbing back up. God I'm so nervous. This emotional rollercoaster is so intense.

When do you plan on testing.

you've done so well to wait it out.

worriedmum100 · 16/08/2013 12:51

I finally cracked and tested. Bfn. Gutted:(

Well AF still hasn't arrived. How long at your cycles normally?

You didn't use FMU, so there's still hope for tomorrow! fX

If your temps stay high for 18 days past ov, this indicates a pregnancy. Test again in a few days. Good luck!

Thanks all. Af got me today at 15dpo. Temps have dropped but still way above coverline. I guess temps don't always give you an accurate idea of things :(
