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?!

Wow amazing - congrats on the job!! That's great news!!

But sorry to hear that you've got spotting, could it be implantation?

Aw congratulations @polkadotpixie that's fab news re the job!

Not so good re spotting but you're not out until you're properly out so will keep my fingers crossed!

Tested. BFN 😢

Thanks @ContadoraExplorer and @LemonDrizzle44 unfortunately I feel like it's not heading in the right direction. I took a clear blue first thing this morning and it's still
Showing 1-2 I have read to boycot them though as they can be funny but also on normal one the lines not really much darker than last week. Feels really deflated. X

@Rct4 you're ten days past period due date? I don't know lovely I find those CB weeks ones stressful and apparently they're not accurate a lot of the time. Are you still using cheapies? And the line isn't fading?

@rct4 have you tested on a FRER? I've had a bit of progression over the last four days. No idea if it will continue but I've decided as long as I still have symptoms I'm not testing again.

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @ContadoraExplorer yeah 10 days past when my period should've started.

Yeah I've read bad things about the clear blue week ones too. Yeah mainly cheap ones. The lines not fading but not really getting any darker. I been having nausea but I don't think I have today, I just feel shattered but I think that because all this has really stressed me out today. X

@Rct4 that's my ones from 9-12 DPo. Don't know if it would help but if you take a FRER and compare it might give you some reassurance about the darkness of your line? If you are still having symptoms though I think that's a pretty good sign.

Also my nausea definitely comes and goes, couple of days ago I felt pretty awful but today mostly fine so again, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

@ContadoraExplorer thank you, I'm going to order some of those tests.

I had my son 3 years ago and I just can't remember the early stages well now. I think because of my miscarriage I just can't shake the feeling that it's never going to happen for me again x

Hi, I was hoping to join if that's ok. I've caught up on the thread now. I'm ttc #2 after a mmc last autumn. I'm temping slightly differently to all of you I think - I'm using OvuSense.

Rct4 - I hope you get some reassurance soon. The early few weeks are so difficult.

Hi @Unicornish where are you in your cycle? I'm 5dpo and it's dragging so much 🙈

I've heard of Ovusense but never looked in to it. Is it just a different kind of charting to Fertility Friend?

I'm 8dpo today. I've decided that I'm definitely, 100% not going to poas until at least 12dpo. 🤪

OvuSense is a sensor which you wear vaginally overnight. It picks up your core body temperature overnight. The app then uses an algorithm to tell you when you ovulated. I never found I was able to get an accurate reading when doing a single reading either orally or vaginally first thing, which is why I went for this instead. It is quite pricey though so I wouldn't recommend doing it if more traditional temping is working for you!

I'll see if I can work out how to post a picture of my chart.

Here is my chart. I didn't record a temperature last night because I forgot to put my sensor in!

I wasn't delighted about yesterday's fall in temperature so I'm particularly annoyed with myself that I forgot to do it last night. Oh well. Sorry for serial posting!

Oh that annouying about the dip and not wearing it last night but I think I read somewhere about an implantation dip, could it be that?

I woke up at 4am did my temp and it was sooo low. I then fell back to sleep and woke at 7am (usually temp at 5am) and the temp was sooo high so I think I'm going to have to disregard today temp 🙈

My god my messages are terrible today! Haha sorry for the typos!

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter try putting it into a bbt adjuster and see what it comes out like. I did that occasionally if I took it really early or really late for any reason

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 ah yes, that's a good idea - I'll try that. Thanks x

How are you doing Rct4? Did you manage to get any reassurance from the tests?

My temps are still above the coverline but have been slowly dropping, so I suspect I'm out this month. I've resisted POAS so far. I think I might get af on Wednesday or Thursday this week.

How is everyone else getting on?

I had a temp dip yesterday but has risen again today 🤷🏻‍♀️ I did my progesterone blood test this morning so hopefully I'll get the results back from that in a few days. I feel so emotional today, like I'm already upset about the inevitable BFN again 🙈

Ugh, it is so shitty, boring and tiring isn't it? Long-term ttc really is the pits.

Sorry you're feeling low acupoftea. I hope your progesterone blood test comes back asap and that it gives you a bit of clarity. Did you get them done through the GP? I have also had day 3 and 21 blood tests this month.

Hey @Unicornish not good new for me, I started bleeding on Saturday evening, not very heavy just like a light period and no pain but I'm very positive it's a miscarriage I have a scan at the epu on Thursday to make sure. I'm absolutely gutted as this will be my 3rd mc in a row in 8 months, but it happens I guess.

Finger cross that and doesn't show for you. Xx

@Rct4 oh I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through that, must be so hard to be through that again. Bleeding is common in early pregnancy so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

@Unicornish no my GP wouldn't refer me for blood tests. I got the 21 day progesterone test from Superdrug and my acupuncturist also recommended get the FSH and AMH tests too which I ordered from Medichecks so will do those at the start of my next cycle x

We're your results all ok from your tests? X
