BBT still above coverline after bleed. Help?

[kcf90]

Evening all.

I am looking for some advice and opinions please. This is my first month tracking bbt but it hasn’t dropped before AF when I expected it to.

CD19 - Ovulation according to clear blue monitor
12DPO - very very faint line. Brown spotting.
13DPO - another faint line. Heavy dark red bleeding. Assumed AF or chemical pregnancy loss.
14DPO - brown spotting, no red.
15DPO - light brown spotting. Faint line, looks darker than before but still stupidly faint.

I’m really confused and unsure as to what could be happening.

Any help would be appreciated.

The drs just said to go to A&E if I experience any pain but other than that they didn’t have much to say about it. She actually said I know more than she does... sigh. Anyway, I don’t have any symptoms. Maybe mild cramps if I think about it but very mild.

Thanks

Kirsty xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah yes that is the same as me but my LP is usually 11/12 days. Yes it’s a very long wait isn’t it. I was hoping he was going to suggest something to shorten it but now I just have to wait 3 months xx

@kcf90 maybe the vit D will shorten it, I take preconception tablets that contain vit D but maybe not enough.... x

Im using clear blue connected this month, im going to start testing from tomorrow which is only CD11, it says not to test till 15 if you have ovulation on cd22 but it varies so much I don't want to miss it x

@AnxiousAnnie86 yeah the dr said the prenatals don’t contain enough of it. But I am very deficient in it which may make a difference. He said we need 1000mg a day in summer and 2000mg in winter.

What does the clear blue connect do? Xx

@kcf90 is there just a generic vitamin D? I might try some we have some in drawer at home as my husband takes it. I do feel tired all the time.....

@AnxiousAnnie86 Yeah you can buy it in supermarkets, you just need the high strength stuff. My husband got some from Asda yesterday as the dr said If I am deficient in it then he likely is too. Although I must admit that I don’t feel any different for taking 40000mg of it haha.

Ah yes, that is quite similar to the clear blue machine I have. Hopefully it will help :) xx

@kcf90 I've been using the ava bracelet for a few months now.... they say it takes three cycles to get used to your body, but I'm not sure its going to work with my ovulation changing...: however it's good to not have to wake up and temp every darn day

@AnxiousAnnie86 Yeah I bet it’s a relief. I am debating whether to stop tracking my temp too this month. Or not be as strict with it at least.

My husband has just broken down about how devastated he is that we aren’t pregnant yet. He’s tried to be strong for me but he’s struggling. It truly broke my heart 😭

@kcf90 oh gosh it's so awful isn't it.... my partner was the same last month it's the first time he's shown any emotion about it, normally he goes "it'll happen when it happens" "we will try harder this month" the usual, but he had real sadness last month :(

How long have you been ttc now? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 it is awful, it felt strange me being the one saying those things.

We started trying last January, but my cycles didn’t return until June ish last year xx

@kcf90 same here been trying since July last year :( I had a mc in November though. I'm so scared that after all this time when I eventually do get pregnant it will end same way x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I know hun, I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Did the doctors not want to look into anything at that time? I know you’ve given yourselves until January but why not get the ball rolling? Xx

@kcf90 no my doc said it could be just as I had just come off the coil literally a month or so before I got pregnant..... we don't want to put any extra stress on yet, we want to wait till Jan when it's been a year since periods returned. I'm a total worrier and I get really anxious about health problems etc so I know it will be a tough time for me when we start seeing docs.... we are just gonna keep trying (try to relax) and hope for the best in the coming months....: we've gotten pregnant twice before so hopefully it will happen for us xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 you’re right to do what works best for you hun, especially if the thought of having tests etc make you anxious. Speaking to the drs has helped me realise the testing of lh etc was just stressing me when I didn’t need it. I’m just terrified it’s going to take years!

I feel so ill this week. If my temperature wasn’t low then I would be convincing myself I’m pregnant with how I feel. Just sicky and up in the night weeing. Probably just the heat xx

@kcf90 it makes me get panicky thinking about it, but obviously come Jan I will start if we haven't been able to by then, I started on vitamin D yest as after you saying about it, I looked at the contents in my prenatal, they are 5 Microgrograms when I should be taking 50!!!

It is insanely hot!! When is predicted ovulation for you this month? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes definitely start the vitamin d. He recommended 1000mg a day. But I can’t take it yet as I’m having these monthly top ups first.

Not until end of August grr :( when is yours xx

@kcf90
Well if I ovulate between 19-23 which is what it's been the last few months that isn't until 21st - 24th August..... which seems so so far away!!! Xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 yeah I’m a week behind you. We seem to have very similar cycles xx

@kcf90 yes we do! I may ovulate later as I have gone as late as 32 in past six months!!!! C

@AnxiousAnnie86 you’ve ovulated day 32 before?! I bet that was a horrible month for you.

I still feel so sicky and my boobs are aching. To the point I have had to take my bra off today. Don’t know what’s up. Waking in the night too feeling sick. I haven’t actually been sick though and it comes and goes xx

@kcf90 yep!!! It was such a long month :(

How was your period?! Normal? My sister and sister in law had what they thought was a normal period when they were pregnant, but your temp has gone down hadnt it? Has it gone to where it would normally be x

@AnxiousAnnie86 it was light but that’s normal for me.

My temp dropped but went up again today. But I did have to scale it again as I woke up really early so could be wrong. Tests are negative too xx

@kcf90 how strange!!! What cycle day are you on?! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 cycle day 5 xx

Here I go again... 😓

How are you ladies all doing?! Xxx
