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

@kcf90 a lovely lady on another thread said the implantation dip is a bit of a myth as it shows on non BFP charts too (and equally BFP charts very often don't have it). Apparently the dip in temp is often due to a second estrogen surge - who knew?! Your chart is looking great btw x

@kcf90 unfortunately Af got me 😡 however taking a positive from it it seems a lot heavier this month! My periods have been crazy crazy light since MC And that's had me thinking that's why I'm not getting PG,

I was going to say same as @Tink2019 I've heard implantation dips are a myth too and it is in fact the second surge that makes it happen! Chart is looking really good!!! How many dpo are you now?

I'm trying something diff this month and using the clear blue connected opks x

Thanks ladies!

The app is saying 8dpo today but I didn’t track anything other than bbt so I don’t know how accurate it is. I don’t know why but when I get to 7 or 8dpo I start to lose hope rapidly!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’m sorry af showed up :( when are these continuous months going to end for us all :( Every month I think it must be this month, it’s horrible. I feel for you hun, fingers crossed the OPKs are helpful.

I think I’m going to carry on like this month and not track anything else. I’ve felt more comfortable with it. I do have the drs follow up appointment booked in next week too whoop xx

@kcf90 I'm exactly the same on 8dpo!!!! Think it's Cos I think the last two times I was pregnant morning sickness came absolute full force at 8dpo..... I have absolutely everything crossed for you, I'm over a year now, but actually only 7 months, 5 cycles since my periods returned from MC X

@AnxiousAnnie86 We’re you trying long before your miscarriage? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m so sorry you had to go through that and then wait for your periods to resume :(

I came off the pill in January 2019 and then my periods returned around May/June last year. All these tests suggest nothing is wrong so I don’t understand why it’s taking so long :( xx

@kcf90 yes we were, we've been trying since June 2019, pregnant in sept 2019, then miscarried in novrmeber and periods returned end of Jan 2020, had some reallllly long weird cycles since then but last three months have all been around 34 days so just hoping it's only taking so long due to body going back to normal, I had two coils and an implant and no periods for nearly ten years due to all that.... I really really hope it's just my body regulating, I'm having accupuncture now so fingers crossed x

I caved at 9dpo :(

@AnxiousAnnie86 It sounds positive that your cycles are seeming the same each month now! I was on the pill without periods for over 10 years too. It makes it so much harder to know what the ‘normal’ was beforehand. My periods are always super light but my mum seems to remember I used to moan about cramps and heavy periods before the pill xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 also, what’s the acupuncture like to have? How is it supposed to help? I’ve never had it before as it sounds painful haha xx

@kcf90 can I see a shadow or is that evap?! 9 is probably too early to test!! Least you are nearly there! How long is your LP?

Mine used to be so so heavy I remember it, but they last three days now then a day of spotting x

The shadows came up before the pink completely disappeared but I’m certainly not getting my hopes up.

My LP is usually 11 to 12 days so nearly there :( xx

Hi ☺️ Don't suppose someone might take a moment to look at my chart for me?

I'm 15DPO and feeling quite confused. This is my third cycle off the pill, and first two cycles I had a really short luteal phase, but now I seem to be having a rather long luteal phase? I'm not sure how long my luteal phase would have been before the pill. My temps are still high. I've done several tests and all BFN. Am worrying that I might have ovulated later but my temps rise seems pretty clear? The dips seem to fit in with a fallback rise and a corpus lutuem dip, however I did carry on having EWCM until a few days after my predicted ovulation date. What do you think? Xx

Also obviously this has been a super long cycle, the joys of coming off the pill 😔

@MintGreenLife by the chart I would say you have ovulation correct, it seems like a pretty clear rise? X

@kcf90 how you doing. Did you test again? Xx

@MintGreenLife Hmm that’s an odd one. Although when coming off the pill it does take a little while for cycles to regulate again so maybe it’s just a long cycle this month? I didn’t have a period for 5 months or so

@AnxiousAnnie86 haha what a silly question, I did test again and it was the same as yesterday. Feel like I’m out just on gut instinct :( xx

@kcf90 haha, do you think that's just force of habit feeling like a that?? How is the temp? D

@AnxiousAnnie86 yeah you just get to a point where you can’t imagine it happening. I keep staring at these shadows but this happens most months!

When I do an overlay on my temps it seems the same as other months at this time. I’ve attached it xx

Urgh woke up early this morning so had to scale my temp using an app. Looks like every other month, what a surprise. Why is this so heartbreaking. I’m watching life whizz by whilst feeling so stuck :( xx

@kcf90 I know how you feel :( I'm so sorry... it's heartbreaking every single month that goes by. You aren't out yet try and stay positive xxxx

@AnxiousAnnie86 Af is due today and I’ve had a temp increase. I woke up at 5.20am though and @scaled my temperature again so not sure how accurate it is xx

@kcf90 ooooooooo that's really good!!! Have you had any symptoms of Af?? X

@kcf90 did you test this morn? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 no symptoms either way yet, I would have expected to be spotting today unless I’m a day behind the app. I haven’t tested since yesterday morning as I am away until this evening and decided against bringing the tests with me xx

I have everything crossed for you!!!! Do you normally get symptoms @kcf90

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you, I don’t want to get my hopes up but I’m intrigued to get home and test. Watch AF show this afternoon. Erm, some months I get achey boobs beforehand but then again that’s not every month xx
