Temping buddies 2014

[laurano81]

I have one child who is 11, and who longs for a sibling. I am 32 years old & I have been trying to conceive since December 2013. I am ovulating thankfully, but seem to ovulate on CD18. My issue is that at 9dpo I start spotting and 10 dpo AF starts. I am on TTC#7 now, and I find the 2WW very difficult every month. I try to be positive and hope for the best, but on the other hand I try not get my hopes up too much, as it is so upsetting when AF arrives. I have had CD3 and 7 dpo tests done to check hormone levels...all of these have come back normal...My temps are really good too, so I just can't understand what is going on with my body. I also have been going to accupunture for the last 3 months. I am on CD1 today so hopefully this is the month I will conceive. Fingers crossed.Would anyone like to join me as I begin Cycle 7 TTC? x

CD1-36.9oC (TTC#7)(LP 10 days)

My temp went from 96.80 to 97.34 this morning. Im 12dpo. Todays temp is the highest iv had this cycle...but only first cycle of temping so cant compare it to anything
I will take a look at that link now hun. Thank you.
Awww hope it is preg related spotting for you hun FX for you.

Im glad the medication is helping you Ela88 FX for you too hun. Xx

[laurano81]

Hiya 1moretime that's a great sign that your temps are rising! Yay! Delighted for you x Fx

Ela my bestfriend has lupus too…I'm glad you are feeling better…fx If you are 11dpo then your BFP is due Weds 18th @14dpo oh fx

I've gone to the loo several times since the red watery spotting earlier, nothing when I wipe & no staining on undies…that wasn't good enough for me, so I checked my cervix…a little red blood there, the morning will tell all…I wonder if my temps will drop in the morning…fx

[ELA88]

Oh no laurano although there's still hope until she properly arrives, fx still!
My temp was right up this morn, the highest it's been, I'll try and copy my chart on here! I don't tend to get any AF symptoms till right as it starts so no tell tale signs to look out for! Xxx

[1moretime]

Ela88 il be testing tomorrow or wed so fingers crossed for those BFP :-)
My temp weny really high yesterday too. Hope this is a sign!!!
Thanks Laurano81 im excited...altho i do still have cramps :-(
Hope you are only spotting & hope af stays away for you. Xx

This is my chart...only started mid cycle tho xx

[laurano81]

laurano81 32, 36.8°c, TTC#2, 7, CD29, 12 DPO

Ela88 I am super excited for you! Yay!! Oh wouldn't it be wonderful! xx...My temp was the same again this morning! It's been the same the last few mornings...I got my Basal thermometer, but I won't start using that until CD1...I have been to the loo a lot this morning, but no AF! Occasionally some watery pink, but no blood perse! It's defo spotting!

I went back over my temps chart...it's on my phone...I use the Glow app, & I can't seem to be able to download it! annoying! ....I may print out a blank chart & fill it in with the info from my phone, so that you can see what mine looks like...I'm the same! I don't get AF symptoms until CD2/3, well other than sore boobs! I do feel very cranky today! things are irritating me easily! xx

I will have to see if AF arrives during the rest of the day, but I really feel it is on it's way! It would be great if I got it tomorrow instead..then my luteal phase would be 12 days! ..right., back to the staff room or my colleagues will think I am anti social! lol xx

[ELA88]

Hmm sorry in advance for tmi! But I realised this morning I hadn't been to the toilet in 2 days, I always get constipated a couple of days before AF arrives and then had faint pink when I wiped earlier :-( knowing my luck AF will arrive right on time on weds!!
My cousin gets married in a couple of weeks and I was holding out hope I might get a BFP before, she was 5 weeks pregnant when I got married so thought it might be a sign that I could be 5 weeks when I go to her wedding! Don't think that's going to happen now! Xxx

[1moretime]

Awww Ella fingers crossed hun...you may just be spotting...typical sign in early preg.
That would be wonderful if you were preg hun in time for the wedding.

[laurano81]

Hi Ela don't panic yet! I had a red blob on Friday, and then nothing til I had a bit of spotting last night...slightly this morning, and since I posted here earlier...absolutely nothing! So I have had way more than you! Implantation can cause spotting...My temps have stayed up..what about yours? It would be wonderful if you were pregnant for the wedding! Oh hang in there & don't let go of your dream just yet!

1moretime how are you today! 13DPO! Oh you must be excited...have your temps stayed up?

[ELA88]

This is what my temps look like so far, have attempted to attach a pic! Xxx

Ella your temps look great hun

Yes Laurano81 i am excited...i am still happy to see i actually ov :-)
Yes my temp took a spike yday & still up today. Iv tried to post link to my chart x

[1moretime]

How many dpo are you laura ??

[laurano81]

I can see the chart, but it is not very big...so difficult to see properly....what were your temps for the last 4 days...it looks perfect to me! You definetly ovulated! xx

[1moretime]

Whos can you see hun?
Ellas looks fab!! Soo exciting xx

[laurano81]

Hey 1moretime I can see your chart & yes! It certainly looks like you ovulated! Yahoo x Don't worry about the dip! Did you read the link about the triphastic pattern...I don't think your temps for today are on the chart..Once they stay up! & AF stays away! That's all that matters!
I am 12DPO today...I keep thinking AF is going to come, but when I check with the last few hours! Nothing! Oh limbo land aint fun! But it is better than good old Aunt FLO! The old Hag!! xx

[ELA88]

My temps have been...
Today: 36.75
Sat: 36.54
Fri: 36.58
Thurs: 36.74

Should the temp drop again once AF starts or before? Xxx

[laurano81]

They look really good Ela high temps are associated with progesterone! So the fact they are high is brill! 36.75 seems to be the highest temp you had, so that is really good! Why don't you try a FRER tomorrow, if AF doesn't arrive & your temps stay up! Let me just check my chart from last month & I will let you know xx

[laurano81]

Ok just checked...CD1 which was also 10DPO light flow...36.9°c..then CD2 temp dropped to 36.8°c, and on CD3 when the flow intensified it went down to 36.6°c & continued to drop during menses..my accupunturist said that it is a drop in temps that indicate a drop in Progesterone, which then tells the lining of the womb to shed...he reckons I have a luteal phase defect, & I bleed normally too early...I was watching out for what happened this month to be honest to see if the same thing happened or if it was a once off...TTC is mindboggling at times! xx

[1moretime]

Hey hun. Yea todays is on, i should have said i was too late at taking my temp at 11dpo...fell back to sleep & was 3 hrs later when i woke up. Lol.
So i am 1 temp missing. Does it matter that todays is slightly lower than todays tho?

Yes i read the link about triphastic pattern, do you think mine is tri??
Oooh you only a day behind me hun.
I must admit i feel crampy & keep thinking im gona start!!
Haha old hag she is!!!
Ela your temps are great...higher than mine hun.
I must admit i feel a bit worried reg progesterone as i had bloods done back in sept & my prog levels were low and showing i wasnt ov...i have since up'd my dose of metformin & luckily & hopefully i have ov :-)

[1moretime]

My highest temp is 97.34 and has dropped slightly to 96.86 today.
Still higher than post ov 95.90 temps & way above coverline xx

[laurano81]

1moretime use this in future if you over sleep
www.mymonthlycycles.com/bbtadjust.jsp

From my understanding the Triphastic pattern is when the temps go to a new 3rd higher level & stay up...that's only a slght dip 1moretime so I wouldn't worry! Fx your temps stay up tomorrow & you get a BFP! I will log in before work to check! Oh I am so excited for you xx

What were your Prog. levels before? I had mine done 7DPO & they were 44.3 & then I got them done last month at 10DPO to prove I had a problem with my luteal phase & prog was only 13.8! So it had dropped too soon! That's why I am so happy that I am 12DPO today & no AF! ! Progress, if nothing else!

[ELA88]

Oh laurano! That website is so good! I didn't temp twice this cycle because of oversleeping! Although I'm not sure if it will take into account really broken sleep too!
Fx ladies :-) I'm not going to poas until at least AF is a couple of days late so I don't get my hopes up too much! AF is usually pretty regular so if she's not arrived by Friday then that will count as late! Xxx

[1moretime]

Thanks for the link...will use this in future hun. Thanks so much. Ahhh so after ydays temp spike todays would have had to stay up today to be a triphastic chart really
I didnt get a preg test hun...so it will be tomorrow evening now.
Not sure what prog levels were hun...just was told they were low. To be honest though i dont think they were taken at the right time??
As my periods are so irreg...my consultant took it on day 21...but as you can see i didnt ov to day28 this cycle. Not really sure how it works though tbh.

Fx for you both ...aww wouldnt it be fab if we all got bfp this month
You are sensible [Ela waiting untill af is late..i should really but if my temps are still up tomorrow i will be tempted!!

X

[ELA88]

Had really disturbed sleep last night and temp was 36.45 this morn, so don't know if it's because if that. Am pretty sure AF is on it's way as it was more browny this morn when I wiped :-( not in a good mood to be dealing with AF today!! Xxx

[ELA88]

Latest development: AF is most definitely here now! Blah!!!! Roll on [cycle] 18! Fx ladies, especially if you're going to poas! Xxx
