BBT charts

[Snowflake9]

Hello all,

I had a quick scan through but couldn't see any active ish threads. Just wanting to get a discussion going so we can help, cast eyes over your charts and offer advice.

I started charting 3 months a go and love it, knowing that morning my period will arrive as opposed to staring at BFN certainly is less disheartening and makes me feel more in control.

We have a MMC in May trying for baby no1 and I have a D&C cycles pretty much returned to normal however now I get the most hideous painful boobs now about a week before AF which I never had before.

Anyway, my chart this month has a huge dip 5dpo and a huge spike today 6dpo, have been having what feels like UTI symptoms but doctor said all is fine. Here is a pic of my chart

Well my temps are still high but I am not feeling positive I am afraid. Had lots of very bad cramps yesterday and today and having no real symptoms. Also stupidly did an frer yesterday, 8dpo, which of course was negative.
I also had a miscarriage in July at 8 weeks but this is the first cycle we have been really trying again as it took a bit of time for us to feel up to it again.

Are you all waiting until after AF due to test?

Not likely @Giraffe888 i have no willpower. I will test Sunday I think so approx 4 days before.

Any symptoms? I've got a bit of cramping and a few twinges here and there but thinking it's me being optimistic x

I’m thinking I’ll test Monday if I’ve no normal AF signs which is 1 day before. I’ve had some strange twinges today but I’m probably over analysing too!!! X

Here I am today. A few twinges too. @daisypod sorry to hear of your loss. It is the most heart wrenching pain in the world. X

It may be worth mentioning when I was pregnant I only suspected because I was on CD 34 and didn't have any other symptoms, infarct I was convinced AF was going to arrive.

@mrsof20118 - yours looks super promising!

I am not going to test until 15dpo as I hate hate hate staring at a BFN . I would much prefer my AF to arrive and by charting I can see when she will.

Daisypod. I think you are still way to early to test. HCG takes a while in some ladies. It's not over until AF arrives.

Do you all think it's hilarious that at school we were basically told that you will get pregnant if you had sex and it was made out that it's so easy to get pregnant. When in fact.....

@snowflake9 yes it’s crazy!! You spend most of your life trying to not get pg then when you want to it’s almost impossible!

@Snowflake9 so true about the school thing. If I ever have a daughter I will teach her about other ways to know what her body and fertile window is etc with temping when she’s old enough etc. I wish I had known all this stuff before I went on the pill for years

I can’t wait to go to bed just go get up and see what my temp does tomorrow

Had strange stomach cramps today which I don’t usually get but need to not get carried away!!

Me too!

So mine has sort of levelled as to where it was as yesterday. Another week and I can test. Fingers crossed it isn't a fluke month !

My VIP membership is going to run out in 4 days. Typical. Ha!! Here is my overlay from the last two cycles temping.

Off to the spa tomorrow night and anniversary this weekend so hopefully I can take my mind off wanting to POAS. 🤣

Yours looks promising @Snowflake9. Mine was dipped again but still in the post ovulation range so no idea what's going on.

They say only to use charts to confirm ovulation. But I can't help myself but read in to every little symptom etc .

Happy to hear yours is still in the high ranges. When is your AF due?.

Like right now I should be in the gym, but I'm laid on my bed after brushing my teeth feeling ever so slightly nauseous.

Morning this is mine...

Just had a bit of dark pink spotting when I wiped. I’m gutted x

No! Don't be gutted. You are 10 dpo is that right? This could be implantation bleed. It's only over when the AF is in flow xx

@snowflake9 yes I am. I just feel like I normally do before AF and my temp is on the way down. After 12 months of trying I really thought this was our month. We’ve done all we can and DTD at all the right times. I feel so disheartened x

Oh babe. When I fell pregnant in march I was convinced AF was coming as had my normal PMS symptoms .

Are you taking any vitamins ? Xx

@Giraffe888 fingers crossed it isn't. It's such a head mess isn't it. So consuming on the brain all the time xx

I have had a teeny small brown spot overnight. I'm feeling so emotional still so sure af is coming as well.

@snowflake9 yes I take folic acid and evening primrose oil.

@mrsof20118 isn’t it just! It really does take over!

xxx

@mrsof20118 no point me trying to say keep positive when I’m not doing that myself!!! I’m glad we’re all in this together to support each other x

Absolutely. No one can understand unless you are actually going through it. I think I am the only one in my family who is or ever has planned a pregnancy and if I hear "it'll happen when it's right" one more time I shall explode.

In Feb/march k started taking just a pregnancy multivitamin (Morrisons OB) and DH was taking a centrum multivitamin. The GP said it was a good idea just to start taking them as it gets your body ready and there is hardly any difference between those and "conception" tabs. Only just started back on these last month so we'll see.

I really hope it happens for us ladies. Has anyone done the pineapple??

I went to the gym. Managed about 20 minutes than thought sod that and came home 😂😂

What’s the pineapple? X
