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?!

I totally get that @hopefulhedgehog the waiting is excruciating. At least when AF arrives you know for sure its not this month, even though you would rather not see her at all.

@Hopefulhedgehog thank you , yes that makes sense about the temps.

Sorry about AF but it’s good you are feeling ok about it. I get that you’d rather know either way so that you can just crack on with next cycle - hope it’s a lucky one for you .

Hi all...
Quick question...
I always dont tend to sleep well around ovulation

Anyway got my positive opks this weekend
I woke early yesterday and I woke early today

Do I alter my temps to the usual time on FF or do I put in the time they are?

It may alter my cross hairs sad sad

@Mum2Girls19
I think there’s a setting on FF that you can use to average out your temps if done at different time... someone else may know more?
You can also add poor sleep on FF for those days - I’m not completely sure if this makes a difference to your chart reading but it might be good for your own interpretation?
Good luck! 🍀

Hi @Mum2Girls19

I've used BBT adjuster a couple of times this cycle when I've woke early or completely missed my alarm 🙈 the new temp it gave me seemed to be in line with my chart.
I wouldn't recommend doing it often but a couple of times would be absolutely fine!
Lots of luck 💐

Hi @Mum2Girls19 I just add mine at the time I did them and FF puts a little triangle to show they were done earlier or later than usual. I get a very significant jump between temps before and after O so it doesn’t really make any difference. If you temps are not clearly different then may be worth using a BBT adjuster calculator to adjust the temps. Let us know how you get on.

Hi girls,
I've had a weird one again lol according to ff in advance I'm 9 dpo and in fam I. 7 dpo 🙄
Anyway, I think I had a vvv faint line on frer this Am. Not getting my Hope's up though as I've had a few chemicals x

@Drinksometeawithme that's potentially exciting though! I know not wanting to get hopes up, but to see something at 9dpo I'd think it has to be a good amount of hcg for so early

Hi @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7, I'm quietly excited lol. I am one of those people for whom hcg shows up quite early though. It's a blessing and a curse. I am just too much of a pos addict to stop myself finding out 🙈 how are you getting on??

@Drinksometeawithme I'd be quietly excited too :) I'm okay thanks, 7dpo. I'm the opposite, get scared to test, I don't know why! Trying to hold off until Sunday

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I am the worse pos addict ever 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have tested from 4 dpo... I also know that if I haven't had a positive by 10 dpo I know I've probably missed the boat. I would definitely not be able to wait until Sunday lol

@Drinksometeawithme that sounds exciting! Post a pic if you like! I really hope it develops for you! I’m going away this weekend and will be 7dpo on Saturday so was thinking of poas then as well just in case!

Ooh @drinksometeawithme that sounds promising!! 🤞🤞🤞

Hi all,

Quick Question..

Has anyone had a slow rise in BBT after ovulation?

FF has confirmed my ovulation but the rise is close to cover line still

Chart posted below:

This month has been quite slow for me, my cover line seems to be a little higher than normal but even at that I don't think the rise is great so not holding out much hope.

NB I've set my chart to track against my first pregnancy so that's the comparison. I ovulated on CD12 this month but back in 2018 it was CD17 and my rise was pretty quick and stayed up.

Sorry meant to tag you @mum2girls19

Thanks girls, going to test again tomorrow. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high though xx
@Mum2Girls19 I had a slow rise a couple of months ago. I think as long as its rising and not falling below cover it should be fine x

@Drinksometeawithme any news...???

Anyone else find themselves overanalysing their chart in the tww? I’ve read that it doesn’t make much difference whether you get triphase or dips or not to the outcome, so I’m wondering why I keep taking my temp every morning and stressing myself out more 😂

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I overanalyse but do remember a lot of people get triphasic charts but no pregnancy and a lot don't who are pregnant so I've decided to just wait until my expected pre AF dip before testing (unless I get any really obvious symptoms beforehand like sore boobs as I have small ones anyway. Can't use back pain as a marker as I have pain daily anyway)

@ChickPR hmm was wondering whether I should stop after confirming ovulation or not. Today temp went up slightly, cue searching what this means, the reality is probably the weathers just got warmer or something!
Ahh my boobs ache randomly anyway in 2ww. So does my stomach and back, so none of it’s reliable for me!

Absolutely @a1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I compare my current to last month as well as against the month I got my BFP but it means nothing as last month my temps were really high and in line with my BFP month and then suddenly dropped before AF hit.

I also currently have cramps as well as slight bubbling feelings in my pelvis which are probably gas but I don't normally have that sensation so then I google "7 DPO bubbles" etc to see if anyone else had that and then got their BFP. I need to stop but it's so hard.

One good thing, I have no tests in my house which makes it so much easier not to POAS at random!

@ContadoraExplorer you and I are so close then, as I'm 8dpo now. I think I probably have gas also! Its annoying giving so much headspace to this isn't it, but glad I'm not the only one 😂

No tests here either. When are you planning to test? I'm thinking Sunday or Monday maybe

@ContadoraExplorer and @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I’m a couple days behind you guys! Can’t decide whether or not to test on Sat or of pointless - I’ll be 7 or 8dpo. I just want to know if I can drink or not !

@SlothMamaToBe I'd say that is extremely early to see anything, but I don't know! Do you have a big day / night out? I'm planning on just nursing a couple of drinks, slow sips, and on my round just get a 'gin' and tonic. No-one can tell if you chuck some lime and ice in it
