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

Hi ladies. How are we all getting on?

I thought I would give an update in case anyone comes across this and in a similar situation. My new coverline has now appeared and it’s definitely higher than last month.

It’s been a confusing start to bbt tracking but I was relieved to see another rise this month. I also added my data into the fertility friend app so I could compare the charts, also attached.

I’ll be 9/10dpo on my 30th birthday next week, really hoping I get the best gift of all! Xx

@kcf90 ah that's a great rise!!!! First month is so so confusing but you do start to see a pattern form! My coverline is different every month! I have everything crossed for you!!!! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you :) will keep you posted. Currently 5/6dpo and feeling so nervous. How are you doing? Xx

@kcf90 ooooo how exciting!!!!! I'm CD5 now, started soy isoflavones a few days ago so hoping to bring ovulation forward xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 ooh let us know how you get on with those please!

I tried the EPO this month but only had creamy cm all the way through. Possibly slightly watery around ovulation. Concerned that won’t have helped. But I did use preseed as a lube and the cup method this month xx

@kcf90 I thought about trying the cup! But was worried it might be a bit messy 🙈 how long do you leave it? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 I used it straight after sex rather than putting it in the with the semen in the cup, if that makes sense. It wasn’t messy at all, I just panicked slightly trying to get it out haha. I left it in overnight one night and around 6 hours when BD during the day xx

Morning all!

7 or 8 dpo today, depending on which app I look at.

My boobs are starting to have a dull ache which usually happens before AF so I’m starting to worry I’m out. Could it still change?

Attached my charts xx

@kcf90 your chart is looking good this month! Do you feel more comfortable with it this month?! They say you get cramps with implantation so it could be that!! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 It doesn’t seem to have risen as much this month after ovulation as it did last month so I’m not sure? At least it’s still above the coverline.

I don’t think I’ve felt any cramping. I never really do have much cramping anyway. I sometimes have a dull feeling in my sides but today’s is mainly my left side and my boobs. Not too bad though.

I hate this wait. It gets to this time of the month and I start to think it’s game over because it has been every single month :( xx

@kcf90 I know exactly what you mean! But you wouldn't feel anything at this point anyway it's way too early! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 yeah I doubt I would have implanted yet. But can you still get af symptoms due to progesterone levels but then go on to get pregnant? Xx

@kcf90 they say pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF symptoms, so it could actually be either. As long as temp continues to increase or stays high it's a good sign!!! X

My pregnancies I normally started getting AF pain when AF was a few days away . I even took strong painkillers first time as I was so sure it was AF but the pain continued after AF was due and ended up in my dd. I’m pretty sure other than that I didn’t actually have any symptoms . Whereas I can see I have endless symptoms bfn months!
They say the average implantation day is day 9 . Of course that’s just an average . I’m only 4dpo so long to go ! I find the tww so hard and goes on forever x

@AnxiousAnnie86 keeping everything crossed!

@sunshinelove8 It seems it is so different for everyone which only makes it harder as we don’t know what’s “normal”. I always get fuller boobs with a dull ache around this time of the month, I’m just not sure if that’s a sign that I’m not going to be pregnant again this month.

I’m only 7 or 8 (which app do I even believe?!), I just don’t really understand how I can have early AF symptoms before my body has even had chance to implant? Can I still implant after these symptoms have started? Does that make any sense?! I’m going crazy.

Hope it’s a speedy 2ww for you! Xx

My LH was actually 0 this morning. Is that a bad sign?!

I really wanted that BFP for my birthday tomorrow but it was a definite BFN this morning :( xx

@kcf90 not at all! LH would only start to show positive when hcg was high, higher then what it would take to get a positive on a pregnancy test, at the point you are at it deffo wouldn't show! It could be a good sign if anything as my opks start to turn postive towards my period! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah that makes sense. I haven’t tracked with sticks around this time of the month before so I don’t know what’s normal for me xx

@kcf90 I really really want this to be your month!!!!
I'm going to try the cups and preseed next month I think! Just have visions of it being reallt gross and messy and putting me off 🙈

@AnxiousAnnie86 aw thank you, I really want it to be too but bfn (with some vvvvvvfl which are prob evap lines) so far. I was so hopeful for today :( here is my chart today. I had the same increase in temp last month too. Attached the overlay for comparison.

Honestly, have a go with the cups. Practice one a bit beforehand just to have a play and see how it feels etc. It really wasn’t as bad as I imagined.

@kcf90 your chart looks perfect!!!! What dpo are you?

@kcf90 what cycles this now feel like we go through the same every month for what feels like ages x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’m 9dpo based on my temps and clear blue monitor. 10dpo based on opks so I’m going with 9dpo. It looked the same last month so I’m not sure yet xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 I started tracking periods about 13 cycles ago but was trying a few months beforehand too (I’d been on the pill so took a few months before periods started again) xx

@kcf90 my temps generally start to drop from 10DPO! So fingers crossed yours stays up!! X
