BBT Chart

[AKC88]

Hey ladies

So I've been tracking BBT this cycle, can anyone who's has a better understanding than me help me out please ☺️?

I'm 6DPO and my temp has gone up again this morning, is that fairly normal for this stage of cycle?

Thanks in advance

Hi @AKC88 your chart looks great! Im only 3DPO so not a millions miles from you. I dont think it continuing to go up is an issue, it is more about it staying up! This is my chart so far. Hoping now it doesn't dip below the horizontal line 🤞🤞

@akc88 Yes, its perfectly normal your progesterone (which causes the temperature rise) peaks in the middle of your luteal phase. Some women get a dip in temperature from 6DPO to 10DPO cause by a surge in Estrogen which is also normal (often referred to as an implantation dip).

@AMS19 oh yes quite close in the grueling TWW!! FX for it staying up for us both then

@Kay00 ooh really, thank you that's useful info, I'll be on the lookout for a dip now

Do you have any early signs @AKC88 ?

@AMS19 I think I have tricked my body into thinking I do haha! I have had craps ever since O day, sore boobs and lots of CM (sorry TMI).

I'm also really grumpy lol but that may be the effect of half-term

How are you feeling?

Thats the thing isnt it, you don't know what is in your head. Had twinges on and off on the lefthand side. Otherwise nothing really. But now I'm so alert to every sneeze and shiver 🤣🤣🤣 when are you thinking you'll test?

@AMS19 I'm due AF in the 5th-could be tempted to test 2nd if I'm feeling brave ha! I'm tentative to test early though as I hate the is there/isn't there a line debate! Have you thought about when you'll test?

How long have you been trying?

Eeek exciting!! 14 DPO will be 9th Nov, AF due 11th Nov. I think I'll test on the Friday though if period is late as I always said I would want to have a missed period. This is my first proper cycle trying, but second cycle off the pill. The first cycle was just withdrawal bleed to first proper period though! How about you?

2nd cycle trying, had the couple removed in July and my cycle is all irregular since

I want to wait for missed period if I can

Exciting @AKC88 wishing you loads of luck!! Keep me updated, we won't be testing too far apart

Hey @AMS19 I caved and tested early and got my BFP this morning! Let me know how you get on on Friday!!

Omg @AKC88 thats amazing!!! So so happy for you. And even more glad my chart looks like yours 😂😂 what DPO are you? Yay!

Thank you 😊 I'm 11 DPO today, AF would have been due Thursday. This is my chart today, not sure whether to continue or not. How are you getting on?

@AKC88 oh wow so you did get the implantation dip then?! That is really interesting! Did you get any spotting on that day if you don't mind me asking?

This is my chart, im only 8DPO. All okay, a millions signs that I could be pregnant, 100% all of them in my head 😂😂😂

@AMS19 I had one wipe if brown spotting on the same day as the dip and one sharp pain in that area that morning. I don't recall having any implantation symptoms with any of my first 2 pregnancies but I wasn't monitoring as closely either.

Your temps are staying up there 🤞🤞🤞

@AKC88 super interesting thanks! Im really so pleased for you. Have you told many people yet?

I havent had any spotting, I'm like a weirdo checking for each everytime I go to the loo 😂🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@AKC88 Congratulations!! I'm 8DPO and am either in an implantation dip (which is usually just a surge in estrogen) or maybe AF is coming...

@Kay00 the fact it picked back up is a good sign I think! When you thinking you'll test now?

@AMS19 no not planning on telling anyone until 12 weeks, except hubby of course 😂. If you're a weirdo than I am too lol, I am constantly checking as I feel very wet (sorry tmi).

Thanks @Kay00 ooh could be implantation as they are still up in general 🤞🤞🤞 for ya

Keep us updated how you're getting on @AKC88 x
