Entering the TWW with BBT charts

[Cakelaur]

I FINALLY got my rise! Positive opk was 3 days later than usual and ovulation seems later than usual too after the peak! 🙈

BUT I'm in the TWW officially!! Who's with me?! I plan to analyse everything and I'll probably test early with cheapies for a laugh! No point in pretending I'll be calm and controlled throughout this TWW!!

Officially 3rd month TTC baby number 3. But had a few months before that "seeing what happens" DS 2 and DS 11months.

Anyone wanna embrace the crazy with me?!

@LemonDrizzle44 sorry you had a disagreement with your partner. Its so hard isn't it. This month I had a similar thing with mine and just gritted my teeth and did it anyway cos I wanted to hit every day in my FW 😂

Another 98.2⁰f this morning and some weird pains and cramps/back pain last night but negative FRER. AF due Sunday (according to FF) or Tuesday (Ovia) so just not going to buy any more tests to stop me POAS until AF either does or doesn't show.

@ContadoraExplorer another high temp sounds good! Mine plummeted this morning to below coverline, and period has now arrived

Good morning ladies 🤗

Sorry to hear AF has arrived @a1b2c3d4e5f6g7. I hope you feel OK. I've read that b6 can reduce spotting before periods and increase temps during luteul phase & also drinking raspberry leaf tea is supposed to help. I've been taking evening primrose oil this cycle to increase cm, hopefully! No change seen yet though!

Hi @LemonDrizzle44, hope you're feeling better today! There's nothing worse than a row around ovulation 😂

Today I'm CD13, no ovulation yet - still blank circles on clear blue. I thought I would have had a flashing face by now. Ah well, the waiting game is on!

Sounds good @ContadoraExplorer how many DPO are you now?

@a1b2c3d4e5f6g7 sorry to hear that, AF is such a bitch 😔 Console yourselfwith something nice this weekend, my go to is a nice bottle of wine, and fingers crossed for next month xx

Thanks, I am taking this cycle as a positive, finally a luteal phase of over 8-10 days, and only pink cm when I checked yesterday - prior to this I have had 2-3 days of spotting!

Haha I am actually thinking of treating myself to some fertility acupuncture 😂 oh how times have changed. I'll take the wine too though!

@lemondrizzle44 obviously I don't know if it has worked yet but I do seem to be seeing a decent chart so actually starting to feel a little hopeful for this month. Reason i'm saying that is that we missed DTD the day after I got my peak because DH decided to go for a run and was then knackered. So all might not be lost for you!

I'm too scared to test! I can't bare getting a bfn. AF is due somewhere between today and Saturday. But I'm worried I maybe ovulated two days later than the chart suggests. So I'm still 3/4 days off af.

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 sorry af showed. But like you said, take a positive and learn something about your body each month.

@cakelaur I can't zoom in on the app (which is really annoying!) what colour is this month in your chart?

Oh. Sorry. Blue is this month, orange is resting heart rate.

Ugh, my body hates me. Just went to the loo and there is a pinky brown discharge. So much for the consistent high temps. Imminent temp drop and AF waiting in the wings.

@cakelaur the blue looks a little less erratic than the orange and you've not dropped below your line since you ovulated so I'd say better than last month?

Sorry I just went back and read that properly after half reading it before I moaned. Resting heart rate 🙈 sorry!

@cakelaur they've started going nice and high. Fingers crossed!

@ContadoraExplorer really sorry its really rubbish to see that. Feel crap today, drink some wine, and rant as much as you want x

@Natalie3387 just wanted to check in with you because I spoke to my doctor today about my weird cycles and periods since mc, including the spotting. He thinks I might have a hormonal imbalance following the mc, and so has booked me in for bloods in the next week or two. Just wanted to let you know. Because he seemed to think it was unusual that it hadn't normalised over six months, and you mentioned a lot of the same issues as me

Hey @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7

Thank you so much for letting me know. When I asked my doctor last week he said it's normal for hormones to be out of whack for a while following a miscarriage. I miscarried on 21st December and each cycle seems to be getting stranger so that's useful to know.
What tests are they doing/checking for?

@Natalie3387 okay I think it's because its been six months for me that's he's willing to test me. I think hormone tests and thyroid, but I won't be sure til I can pick up the blood test form tomorrow to see. I can let you know. If things are still weird (hopefully not though!) for you in a couple months maybe you can call and ask again. I was also told to expect them to be odd for a few months, but other people I know seemed to be back to normal after 2-3 months

Hi girls, just checking how everyone is? Sorry if aunt flo has appeared. I'm due to see her on Sunday. Another negative test this morning at 12dpo, so thinking I'm out. Really thought as my temps were so high that I was in with a chance this month 😞 hope the girls that are still in the race get some bfp xx

Thank you @a1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I would appreciate any updates, I hope all goes okay for you and that you get some answers. I had my bloods taken a couple of weeks ago for an unrelated issue and apparently my thyroid was fine. Who knows!

Hi @drinksometeawithme I hope AF stays away! How are you feeling? If temps have not started to drop you make still be in with a chance 🙏
I'm feeling frustrated still blank circle on clear blue ovulation & not even a squinter on ICs!

My temps are looking really low too 😔

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 sorry that AF arrived. I'd recommend acupuncture though- I started that this cycle and my cycle has been normal For once

@Drinksometeawithme Oh no so annoying! This is why I'm scared to test or get my hopes up even though my chart is looking good.

I've attached it from today... also if you swipe then that's it compared with my chemical pregnancy month so it's tracking it almost exactly! I'll be pissed off if I see a negative just because temps are good and we've DTD so much 🙈

@Natalie when're you expecting to ovulate?

@Emmgrem your temps look amazing! Thanks for the info on the acupuncture :)

@Drinksometeawithme sorry for the bfn!

@Emmgrem chart looks great. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Natalie3387 looks like ov may be round the corner. When do you usually get a peak?

Last month I ovulated on CD15 but clear blue always detects a LH surge really early for me every cycle around day 7/8 I get a peak smiley but then temps don't rise until around day 15.
I would have thought It'd be showing high fertility by now. Maybe the evening primrose oil I've been taking could be delaying ovulation

@Natalie3387 wow. That's crazy. Maybe it has affected ov. Are you doing cheapies alongside?

Ladies an update from me!!!!
Got my bfp this morning!!!
