thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 08:44

@TwittleBee at the beginning it was really all over the place cause i was taking it at different times i think but it seems to b a bit closer in temp later on but i cant really make any sense out of it lol

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 08:45

thisisouryrfx18 I have had a drink past 2 nights and oddly my temp has dipped both times the following morning! I thought yesterday's was my usual ovulation dip but clearly not! Charting is confusing me so much again haha

@TwittleBee two weeks is my last exam then. That's me! Just submitted it now having to will myself to tesco to get groceries mother Hubbard's cupboards are bare . I was getting high readings on the Cb digi by day 11 last month they did last nearly a week which was strange . Nothing this month yet. Last month was early in fairness

MrsV2018 · 01/05/2018 11:06

@lolacola13 good luck with your exams and revision

@thisisouryrfx18 I'm no good at the charts and stuff but hope you start to make sense of it

Did another test this morning but came back negative again but I've convinced myself I'm still in the running until AF arrives so just trying to stay positive but am getting super depressed Confused

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 11:53

@TwittleBee that is odd i thought drinking made temps go up lol so what r u looking for is it a dip before ovulation then a rise in temp? @MrsV2018 u r still in with a chance u could just have low levels of pregnancy hormones dnt want to get ur hopes up but fx for u😆

thisisouryrfx18 I know! But then I have also had poor sleep the past 2 nights too due to DS teething. My previous charts show an ovulation dip but I think I am right in saying that it isn't that common to see that, its the consistent temp shift that marks ovulation has happened.

lolacola13 good luck! I have my dissertation due in end of this month so fully appreciate the pressure you are also going through haha! Hopefully once our uni stresses are out of the way then we can relax a bit more which might help us actually see a sticky BFP!

MrsV2018 You are still in with a chance! So many people don't have enough hormone till after AF is late. super FX crossed for you

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 12:50

@TwittleBee yh the lack of sleep prob didnt help u but heh what can you do? the crazy weather recently messes it up aswell i think one day sunny n warm nxt day raining no wonder our temps r goin bananas lol

Englishpetal89 · 02/05/2018 07:37

Can I join in on asking for help with charts?

Thought I had ovulated, but temperature isn't showing it. Does this mean I definitely haven't?

thisisouryrfx18 true, I think that it has been pretty cold in my room lately bringing it down! Anyway, got my typical ov pain today for sure and my temp dipped again so I think if I see a rise tomorrow I will take it that I have Ovd today, I'm sure chart will show me anyway. Attached it for FYI haha.

Englishpetal89 so there are a few things that could be happening but I think biggest two possibilities are:

  1. You haven't ovulated yet and the +OPK was just showing a LH surge but a failure to release an egg
  2. Your temperature taking isn't reliable, which is also why it is also all over the place? Are you managing to take the temperature every day at the same time after 3 hours sleep? Does FF give you any reasoning or analysis behind the chart?

Englishpetal89 but also, there does seem to be lower temps CD11-15 for you compared to CD16 onwards. Perhaps you have ovulated? Give it a few more days and FF should stick cross-hairs over your chart pinpointing when they think Ov has happened

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 02/05/2018 09:21

TwittleBee ur temps look soo much more stable than mine lol yh hopefully u seem temp rise then ovulate. Ive not had sore boobs or cramps yet which i normally get around when ovulation should b so maybe my cycles going back to being longer this month @MrsV2018 how r u gettin on did u test again?

thisisouryrfx18 · 02/05/2018 09:22

This is actually helping me to see more charts and what they should look like so thanks ladies lol

Feels like we should actually make a BBT charting thread to get more chart sharing on here for more comparison and learning opportunities haha

thisisouryrfx18 sucks that you reckon you are having a long cycle this month! Hope you do Ov soon! FX for you

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 02/05/2018 09:41

@TwittleBee thanks im just desperate to c a positive opk! Lol yh make the thread bbt charting for dummies! i ll join 😂

MrsV2018 · 02/05/2018 10:19

@thisisouryrfx18 hope you ov soon..

@TwittleBee I'm learning so much by reading about your charts.. it's a real education for me lol

Spoke to DH yesterday and agreed not to test everyday but going to test tomorrow morning... so every other day is a compromise!! Still waiting for AF not to turn up so fx but been getting cramps and got a weird taste in my mouth for the last few days. Think there's a chance I might be imagining it though bc I've been reading up loads but hope not

Wishing for my BFP tomorrow morning

SassehMonsta · 02/05/2018 10:55

Just wiped and got a small spot of blood. Shall find out later if this is my period finally arriving (6 days over the estimate!)

thisisouryrfx18 · 02/05/2018 11:37

@MrsV2018 just buy ic test with them and dnt tel OH lol @SassehMonsta oh no fx its not! fuck af seriously

DaisyMay25 · 02/05/2018 12:13

@MrsV2018 fx for your bfp tomorrow.
AF turned up for me (a day early) so god knows what was going on with those tests. This cycle I will not test until at least 10dpo!

SassehMonsta · 02/05/2018 12:41

Yep looks like I'm out for this month. Looking forward to next week now - I ovulate very early in my cycle so dtd starts right after my period ends!

SassehMonsta · 02/05/2018 12:43

Actually, looks like my period being later the last 2 cycles has shifted my ovulation predictions. My cycles gone from 27-29 days up to 34/36 days. Predicted a 34 day cycle.

SassehMonsta sorry AF has turned up Sad Hope you can have an easy period? Get the wine in ey? FX for next time. Yeah usually if a cycle has been longer it is due to ovulation having happened later in the cycle. It is only really the Luteal Phase, bit after ovulation, that stays the same. So possibly if you were DTD based on an early ovulation only you might have not covered the actual fertile time as it was later?

DaisyMay25 nooooooo! oh Flowers I am so sorry! Try holding off till AF due maybe next time? I know its hard to wait, but the disappointment of a line then AF is so crappy. FX for you xx

thisisouryrfx18 I am really tempted to start one! Feels like I am on enough of the TTC threads though haha
