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

@ttcgee thank you. I hope your temp starts to show a pattern of some sort, it’s an interesting tool (when it works).

I just feel very fed up at the moment. Think I need to stop hcg testing. Move onto OPKs instead xx

What is going on?! This isn’t giving me confidence for my next ovulation :( xx

@kcf90 it may stay up for w while, mine tends to stay high until about a week before my next ovulation? Are you doing temp as soon as you wake up at the same time everyday? X

This is this months, I drops sort of a week before OV x

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah yes that makes me feel better. Was panicking I didn’t even ovulate last month and just did it all wrong. Still odd it’s remained above the coverline the whole time! Yeah I take it at the same time, I have an alarm set. It’s a bit annoying haha. If I wake up early then I take my temp and use a website to scale it to 7.30am. And I stay in bed and don’t move, test again at 7.30 and it’s always pretty close to what the website predicted xx

@kcf90 I just looked back over my other cycles and it always seems to stay over cover line until I get my flashing smiley on CB ADVANCE, which would make sense as thats when estrogen starts to rise which lowers your temp x

@kcf90 your chart deffo confirms ovulation last month! So don't worry about that!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I think I’m just beyond worried about everything. My cycles are all over the place (I’ve attached a photo), I am certain I’ve had about 3 or 4 chemical pregnancies. I just want to be referred now 😭

@kcf90 sorry to hear you are feeling like that. :-(

Your cycles do look to be irregular so maybe a conversation with your GP will help put your mind at ease if they can confirm ovulation with an ultrasound etc?

I was speaking with my sister yesterday. She has 2 children but experienced several miscarriages in between having her first and second. She swore by taking something called 'baby aspirin' and was sure that's what stopped her having chemical pregnancies / miscarrying. It's something to do with thinning the blood to stop any potential clots which are causing problems very early on?

I know it might not be helpful at all as everyone is completely different but could be worth giving it a go one month? Xxx

@TTCgee thank you ❤️

I’ve tried to speak with my gp and she says that I know more than she does and that I just need to wait to be referred to the fertility clinic :( it’s been such a frustrating journey.

Thanks for the advice regarding baby aspirin. I have seen good and bad things about it but it does say speak to your dr before taking it. Given she is no use I’m reluctant to try it until I see the fertility clinic. I’ll definitely ask the question when u can though thank you :) xx

So I’m even more confused today. My clear blue monitor has said my fertile window is high today. Which is far earlier than other months. My temp also rose again.

I’m still doubting my pre-ovulation temps and wondering if ovulation even occurred for me last month and I just temped wrong given it’s still high :( xx

@kcf90 what Cd are you on now? Could you just be ovulating early? It deffo looked like you had a rise? But could be wrong....

Do you take opks as well? X

I’m on cycle day 10 and never had a high result on the machine this early. I’ve been doing opks in the afternoon so will test later today. I just don’t understand it all anymore :( I’m feeling so lost and deflated xx

I just did an OPK and it came up as a 0.25 so not high. I don’t know why the machine has gone high today, I’ve usually been able to rely on it xx

Although, Just looking back, the cycle before last I started testing on cycle day 13 and it was high for 9 days before peak. Maybe if I’d have done day 10 that month then it would have been higher for longer?

Other months I only have 2 or 3 high days before peak.

I phoned the drs again this morning and she said try ringing again in 4 weeks for a referral xx

@kcf90 I know what you mean, I always say to my husband if I had regular predictable cycles I wouldn't feel at such a loss with it all, I had ovulation on cd16 a few months ago then it was Cd32 the one after! It just makes it feel impossible to track! I would say keep going with opks they will show your peak and then maybe you can form some sort of pattern with temping x

@AnxiousAnnie86 Yeah exactly; we just don’t know what’s going on with our bodies and can’t seem to get any answers. Everyone is so different so there is nothing to compare against.

I just want someone to look at all my cycles, info etc and tell me if there are any problems.

I mentioned to my dr about 2 tiny spots on my cervix and she wasn’t even bothered. She just seems to think I’m a hypochondriac!

I am just so panicky at the moment.

Where are you at this cycle? Xx

@kcf90 I'm 6 or 7dpo I think, no symptoms or anything, boobs aren't evening hurting yet, I will get AF ON 15dpo that is the only thing that is absolutely consistent for me,

Temps still going up, but I think this cycle is the least positive I have ever felt that it might take, even though we DTD more then ever in fertile period. I had ten days of high fertility with EWCM, then five more days of peak with it, just got a bad feeling :( x

@AnxiousAnnie86 it could be a good thing that you had so much EWCM and if you dtd in that period then that’s good! Keep your chin up and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed tightly for you

Are you on any of the fb groups? I’ve recently joined a few xx

@kcf90 I'm not on Facebook at all :)

Thank you, I'm going to try soy next month for ovulation, if I could bring that to under CD20 I would feel better.

It's the massively long wait till ovulation which makes it even harder

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah I was going to say we could connect on there if you were.

Please do let me know how the soy works out for you! I really hope it works xx

Hi ladies. How are we all doing?

My temp is still driving me crazy and making me worry about my next ovulation and if it will even rise again :(

@kcf90 what cycle day are you on now? My coverline moves every month so you may not go below it for ovulation this month, that was last months foverline x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’m CD12 now. Do you find your temperate is around the same degrees at ovulation each month? Xx

Not massively no, it generally is around 96.70 to 97.10 then goes above 97.30 after ovulation x
